INVITING FIELD TO
THE HOMESEEKER

Men in casting about for locations
should carefully analyze all the points
necessary to safe conclusion before
making up their minds. The South
is capable of bearing careful analysis
along all lines says the State Mar
keting Bureau
"The farmer, dairyman and stock
raiser should consider the fact that
the farm and factory are being close
ly associated in the South. that the
largest forests of useful woods, the
greatest deposits of coal and iron and
clay and the finest undeveloped water
powers in the country are in the
South, with lands all about-the
cheapest in price in AmeriCa-on
which greater variety Of the staple
food of life can be produced than
anywhere else in the Union, and par
ticularly in Florida, and where Is
there a greater variety of fishing in
both salt and fresh water?
The manufacturer and the man
skilled in mechanical pursuit should
look to the South for the reason that
there are openings for new industries,
besides there is employment for lab
or in mills and factories. There are
chances everywhere to create indus
tries which beginning in small way
can be expanded to large proportions.
The abundance of both hard and soft
woods, clays for pottery and brick,
and various kinds of building stone
and marble, all of which can be
shaped into forms of human use on 4
large scale for export, or on small
one to supply local demands.
"The lumberman, miner and quarry
man will each find something to his
liking and profit in the South, owing
to the abundance of the raw material
in his speciality.
"The banker, merchant, trader, pro.
fessional man, and others who occu.
Ply intermediate and necessary inches
in the industrial and community life,
will! each find for himself in the mul
titude of avocations, all related and
dependent upon each other, in round
ing out a perfect business develop
ment."

"DRECO HAS DONE
THE WORK" SAYS
A TAMPA MAN
Declares He Is Relieved Of Bad StOm.
ach Trouble, Constipation and
Weak Kidneys

Dreco, the new herb medicine, has
been reported to accomplish so much
good that it is often called 1.-THE Mi
racle Medicine by grateful men and
women who have used it. It's power
to wipe pain and sickness from the
human system seems, in many cases,
to justify it's name. 1t is acknowl-
edged one of the safest and quickest
general system reconstructants
known to the medical profession today
and its greatest good is perhaps ac-
complished in those cases of stomach
disorder that affect other parts of the
body.
There Is no telling what deranged
stomach will bring on. Constipation.
kidney disorders, liver trouble, ca
tarrh, nervousness-yes. and even
rheumatism has OFTEN been traced
directly to disordered stomach
II suffered with bad stomach for
three years" declared Mr. A. Jen-
kins Of Kay street, Tampa. Fla, the
well-known ship carpenter
IT had lump in my stomach and
an awful soreness all the time" I
spent lots of money and took about
all the medicines recommended for
stomach trouble, and got no results
from any of them. Things went from
bad to worse, and soon | was great
| ly troubled with constipation and
biliousness; then came headaches and
kidney troubles and I began to lose
flesh at an alarming rate.
Il saw in the newspapers how this
new medicine Dreco was accomplish
ing such miraculous results in cases
that looked ever more hopeless than
mine. and decided that here was the
medicine I needed. So I gave it a
trial, and, believe me, am glad did
because Dreco has done the work
"I am well satisfied that Dreco
stands way above any common patent
medicine and I think I ought to
know"
Dreco is now stocked by almost all
well stocked drug stores and phar-
macy shops in this section. It is par
ticularly recommended in Lakeland
by Jewett's Drug Store.
