DR.. Blount came up from today's
big dinner, rubbed his stomach with
satisfaction and his hands, and joy
ously remarked, Il amt got a
wrinkle in me-" At the same time,
about hundred young people were
out in the pouring rain playing bas-
ket ball. That's the American spirit.
A year or two ago, airplanes flying
over Punta Gorda were nearly as
common as buzzards; but, fol- some
reason, their visits ceased for long
time. Recently, however, to the de-
light of our people they have started
coming again, though not in such
large numbers or so frequently as be-
fore. The aviators now come only
two or three times a week.
The stores that advertise are de-
serving of your confidence and ap-
preciative of your trade. They could
not afford to advertise if they were
not ION the square" in every parti-
cular and they would not advertise
| if they didgnot went your trade.
The business man who advertises
usually gives the best possible values
and renders the best service pos
sible.

The Jacksonville Chamber of Com
merce has sent out a letter addressed
to All banks and civic organizations
State of Florida" calling attention to
the alleged operations of tie Ameri-
can Motor Export Company. Ac-
cording to the letter this concern is
using what purports to be copies of
letters sent to the chamber and
claims that other letters of reference
are on file with the chamber. 1t
seems from the letter that this con-
Germ is engaged in a stock selling
proposition which the jacksonville
Chamber of Commerce has refused to |
endorse. 1t is said that representa-
tives of the American. Motor Export |
Company were in Punta Gorda a few |
days ago.
