The State Bank Prospering

CLOVIS business with you?"
we asked Cashier Borland of the
State Bank, the other day.
"Fine, fine," he said 1--WE are
doing more business and better
business than ever before. Things
are certainly coming our way"
We are gratified to know that
any business here is prospecting,
and the prosperity of the banks is
an indication that our merchants
are doing well. AS to the Punta
Gorda State Bank, it is easy to
understand why it is prospecting.
People know that it is on a solid
foundation, added to which is the
very courteous treatment they re-
ceive from Cashier Borland and
his assistant, Miss Grace Laubach.
1t is a pleasure to do business
with them.

Their Little Boy Died

General and deep sympathy is
FELT for Mr.. and Mrs. Charles S.
Steele in the loss of theier bright
and lovable little son Leon c.,
who died about II o'clock Friday
morning. He was only three
years and six months old, but had
developed such bright and win
some characteristics that he had
become endeared not only to his
parents, but to all who knew him.
He was sick only four days, and
it is thought that his death was
caused by pneumonia following
influenza. During his brief i'll
ness, he had the best of care both
from his parents and from expert
physicians.
Many sympathizing friends at
tended the funeral Saturday
morning. The services were con-
Quoted by DIR. Blanchet, rector of
the Episcopal church. Many
beautiful floral offerings attested
the esteem and sympathy of a
large circle of friends of the little
boy and his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steele hereby ten
der their sincere thanks 10 their
relatives, friends and neighbors
for their sympathy and kindly of
fees during their child's illness
and at the burial of the same.

Herald Printing Praised

About the middle of last month,
The Herald received a hurry or
der for several big jobs of print
ing for large, fashionable, tour
list hotel located some distance
from Punta Gorda. This was fol-
lowed last week by another hurry
order from the same hotel for two
difficult pieces of work.
All the jobs were given prompt
attention and despatched to their
destination as soon as finished.
Tuesday, we received from our
customer another order and, in
sending it, he said:
81 want to take this opportuni-
ty to congratulate you on the ex-
cellent quality and quick execu-
ton of the work we have received
from you, particularly the club
menus and the laundry slips"
Such expressions of apprecia-
ton, coming as they do from a
customer who has had extensive
experience in dealing with print
shops both in Florida and in the
north, are very gratifying.
The Herald is doing great
deal of printing for our local big
tourist hotel and we are assured
that it is giving satisfaction.
Several years ago, The Herald
did all the seasons job printing
for two of the biggest tourist no.
tells on the West Coast and is still
doing the printing for one of
them. The other changed own
ers and the new owners are hav-
ing their printing done in the
city where their hotel is located.
We have two objects in men,
tioning these things: First, to di-
rect attention to the character of
our job printing; second, to i'm
press it upon the minds Of home
folks that The Herald is bringing
some money here and putting it
into circulation.

Moore Haven Times, Friday -
"A. j. Kinsel, proprietor of the
Kinsel Fur Company, of Punta
Gorda, was in town Sunday night,
en- route from Rita to his home.
\ He succeeded in buying a lot Of

In the funny supplement of
Sundays Tampa Tribune, we find
a report of an auto smash-up, in
which Rev. Geo. S. Henderson, a
former pastor of the Punta Gorda
Methodist church, was involved.
He, with his two daughters, Rev.
Sheriff. and Mrs. Jno. Aycock,
were motoring through Ybor
City, when they collided with an
other car and lost a wheel. No
one was injured, but the party did
not consider the incident as at all
funny.
Notwithstanding the rainy,
dreary weather that prevailed, a.
bout seventy-fve people availed
n themselves of the invitation of the
Quednau Brothers to take a ride
down the bay, Sunday afternoon,
on their big yacht, the P.iW. Nc
Adow. 1t is the largest home
owned yacht in these waters, hav-
ing passenger accommodations for
over two hundred persons, and
its speed is eleven miles an hour.
The excursionists enjoyed the
trip immensely in spite of the
weather, and they feel very CRATE
full to the Quednau Brothers for
their kindness in giving them so
much pleasure.

Aside from the interest that centers
in the novelty Of the material used
in this coat, the wide, bias band or
the goods which appears to be but
toned around the front of 1t about
eight inches above the bottom, seized
the attention of spectators and was
credited with being a fine bit OF
cleverness in designing.
Paris took kindly to tailored suits
this season and has furnished us with
models that have a distinctly French
flavor. They are less plain and less
simple than the usual American crea-
tiOns and certain Of our own design
ers have adopted the French ideas.
But Paris decreed the very short skirt
and America rejected 1t, and for once
Paris changed its decree. We agree
on longer skirts and two-third length
coats and have a fine example OF
these features in the velvet suit shown
at the right of the picture. 1t Is at
least reminiscent of the Russian
blouse, having all the verve and style
of that persistent inspiration.
