SOFT DRINK INDUSTRIES
REMARKABLE GROWTH

One of the few industries which has
kept pace with the automobile indus
try in rapid development is the soft
drink business.
This phenomenal growth of the
bottling industry is chiefly attributa-
bic to two causes-improveme in
the character of the beverages offer
ed. and improved methods of bot
tling.
In a typical Orange Crush bottling
works. the empty bottles are first
scalded In a solution of caustic soda
and hot water, then brushed and rims
ed in warm water, and finally sprayed
inside and out by cold water under
pressure. They are then filled with
Orange-Crush, capped, labeled and
packed in cases.
Except when put in the washing
tanks and when taken from the cap
ping machine, the bottles are scarcely
touched by human hand in the entire
process.
In addition to being pure and de-
licious, Orange-Crush is decidedly nu-
tritious. Ounce for ounce it contains
more food value as measured in calo-
ries than whole milk. Physicians rec
ommend it for use in the sick room.
The enthusiastic welcome Orange
Crush has received in Ocala indicates
that the public is keenly alive to the
value of wholesome beverages.

LABOR SHORTAGE
IN THE MOTOR INDUSTRY

There is an acute shortage of skill
ed labor in the motor trade through
out the United States and particular
ly in Chicago. it is reported today to
Colonel Arthur Woods. assistant to
the secretary of war, by the editor Of
leading motor magazine. There are
therefore excellent opportunities for
skilled labor along any line connected
with the motor industry, for finding
satisfactory employment.
This offers an attractive field for
discharged service men, a great many
of whom received thorough training
in the handling of motors during their
service in the army. The motor in
dustry, it is further reported, has
utilized the services of discharged
soldiers and sailors to the fullest ex-
tent. Practically all of the men re>
turned from the service who before
enlisting were in the motor industry
Or trade, have been reemployed. In
addition, great many men who have
ben trained along motor lines while in
the service, have also found employ
ment.
On account of the labor unrest in
practically all skilled labor lines,
however, and on account of the falling
off of immigration and apprenticeship
during the period of the war, there
are still number of excellent oppor-
tunities open to ex-service men who
before the war were members of the
motor industry, or who during the
war acquired skill in the motor trade

Curb Set Back Two Feet in Front of
Houghtoh g. Simond S Garage, Leav-
ing Walk as Before.

By tonight the new sidewalk in front
of the Houghton & Simonds garage at
the corner of Main and High streets
will be about completed. The curb in
front of what formerly was the Hooker
property has been set back two feet,
making Main street that much wider
at this point and leaving the sidewalk
approximately the same width as for
merly, which is 10 feet. This change in
the curb will neeessitate slight angle
in the sidewalk at the point where the
Baptist church property abuts that
owned by John B. Manley. In the
course of the changes on the corner the
drinking fountain known for years as
the town pump has been eliminated 1t
is characteristic of the trend of the
times that although water will no longer
be obtainable there, gasoline will be
available.
