BUSINESS COMMENT
Concluded from page onel

books show a gratifying increase
during the past year.
II. w. Smith, who conducts a
grocery, bakery and meat market,
says he is doing a rushing bust
ness. His sales have doubled
within the year and he is now
adding another large building to
those he already has.
Samuel Nail, dealer in second
hand furniture, has recently NOV
ed from his original place of bust
ness to larger building in the
room formerly occupied by the
= Punta Gorda Feed and Groceries
Company, and now he has his new
quarters filled to its capacity.
Hewitt Brothers say that bust
ness is good, that it is much better
than a year ago, and they are well
pleased with present conditions
and future prospects.
A. G. Caldwell, who is running
a fresh meat market at the corner
Of Marian avenue and Cross
street, says his trade is improving
and satisfactory.
The wholesale fish dealers, ac-
cording to figures given this
scribe, are doing an annual bust
ness of about $500,000.00, which
is not a very small item itself.
One of them, Harry Dreggors,
is doing some trucking as a side
line, and, from II acres in cukes,
peppers and tomatoes he cleared
100000 during the past season
Mr.. L. A. Hawkins, one Of our
regular truckers, says he has
gardened here for nine successive
years and has yet to make his first
failure.
Each of the banks reports a so
per cent. increase in business dur
ing the past year, and they have
more money than they know what
to do with.
Three lines Of misunderstanding,
trucking and fruit growing, bring
many thousands of dollars here
and give strength to the claim
that more cash is handled every
year in Punta Gorda than in any
town of the county.
Perhaps it would not be amiss
to state here that the people OF
this town are now enjoying a
feast of homegrown fruits, such
as guavas, mangoes, pineapples
and other semi-tropical fruits;
also, health, happiness, peace and
tranquility, such as mere mortals
seldom fall heir to.
Mrs. Huffman, of the Huffman
Millinery and China Store, which
has been dong fine tiourishing
business for more than fifteen
years, says that business now is a
little dull, but that, comparing
with the year just past, it is better
that it was during the preceding
year.
Miss Dona Walker, the enter
prising proprietor of a dry goods
store on the eastern end Of the
business district, says that bust
ness is on the increase in the dry
goods business.
j. S. Golf of the Golf Grocery,
was out of town when we called
and Mrs. Golf said she was unable
to give facts and figures, but said
she believed that business is about
the same as it was a year ago.
There was no falling off and she
had no complaint to make
