LUNSFORD'S FURNITURE
STORE SHOWS A VERY
PROGRESSIVE ATTITUDE

A firm that has kept pace with the
progress OF the city, and from mod
est beginning has broadened into an
institution Of no small proportions is
the furniture store of A. c. Luns-
ford on North Kentucky avenue. In
speaking of his business Mr.. Luns-
ford stated that he is firmly con-
WINGED that it pays to carry line of
nationally advertised goods. Goods
of standard makes. nationally known
and nationally advertised sell them
selves" he says. and it takes little
argument to convince the buyer that
nationally advertised goods must be
quality merchandise, or otherwise the
very publicity created for them would
react on them and ruin their sale
Mrs. Lunsford assists in the bust
ness and does a large part of the buy
ing for the firm. With woman's
knowledge of One comforts and
home demands she is undoubtedly
we'll qualified to select a stock of fur
niture that would appeal to the home
lover and probably this accounts in
large measure for the well assorted
stock carried by the store.

OPERATES OVER
1900 TELEPHONES

One of the public utilities of which
Lakeland citizens may we'll feel proud
is the Peninsular Telephone Company.
a Florida concern with its principal
office in Tampa and operating phone
systems throughout South Florida. In
the number of phones in use and the
amount of business Lakeland ranks
second to Tampa in the list of ex-
changes in the system.
The company was incorporated in
1901, with an exchange of only 81
telephones. and one man and girl
as employees. But its growth has kept
pace with and slightly ahead of the
development of its territory in a
steady and satisfactory manner, until
now the Lakeland exchange has a
highly modern plant and efficient or
ganization, headed by w. F. Cook,
local manager. Mr.. Cook came to
Lakeland only a short time ago from
the East Coast, but has taken charge
of the business in a capable manner
and is developing it in most salts
factory manner, having recently in
stalled large number of new phones
and further extended the lines so that
now the entire community is receiv

PLANT OF LAKELAND
MANUFACTURING CO.
RECENTLY REBUILT

OF the several firms wiped out in
the disastrous fire of last summer
which swept away practically all of
che business block on Main street be-
tween Florida and Missouri avenues,
the Lakeland Manufacturing Com
pany was possibly the heaviest loser
The destruction wrought necessitated
the complete rebuilding Of the plant
and this has been done in the most
creditable way. The two pictures on
this page show the plant before and
after the fire, and they show the great
Improvement made more forcibly
than words can tell.
The new building was completed
last September and complete new
equipment installed, representing an
investment of many thousands of dol
lars. The new plant is one OF the
most thoroughly equipped and most
modern of any business of the kind
in the state, occupying both floors of
the two-story brick structure, 70 by
1913 feet. In connection with the
plant the company owns and oper,
ates a lumber yard on West Main
street $50 by 900 feet, where a large
stock of rough and dressed lumber is
handled to supply their large retail
trade.
The present company was organ
lied in 1911. although the business
was operated several years before
/ that by Messrs. R. f. Lufsey and j.
NJ. Peacock. being one of the oldest
established lumber businesses in this
part of the state. The members of
the firm are w. F. Sneed, president;
Geo. w. Mershon, vice president. and
D. U. McGinnes, secretary and treas
urer. r. P. Jones has charge of the
bookkeeping and Mrs. Erma Norvell
is stenographer and invoice clerk.
A number of the employees have
been with the firm for many years,
among the oldest of these being John
Eller, plant engineer, who was en-
ployed at the plant when the bust
ness was bought by the present own
ers. A. B. Names, foreman of the
sash and door department, has been
with the plant for nine years and
| Ernest Crazy. foreman of the lumber
yard, has been with the company
eight years. Other department heads
are P E. Snyder, foreman of the cab
met department, and w. A. Odum,
foreman of the planning mills.
The Lakeland Manufacturing Com
pany is an important asset to Lake
land, distributing large pay roll an
nually much of which is money that
is brought in from outside sources
through their extensive trade through
| out South Florida.

YARNALL BUILDING
and APARTMENTS
MODERN STRUCTURE

One of the recent business build
ings to be completed within the past
twelve months is the Yarnall build
ing and apartments on East Pine
street and North Tennessee avenue.
This is a large two-story brick struc-
ture, facing &c feet on Pine street and
l35 feet on Tennessee avenue
The lower floor of the building con
tains two large store rooms, the cor
ner store being occupied by Harvey's
Cash store and the other by the Var
nall Transfer Company, with offices.
The upper floor is conveniently ar
ranged into twelve apartments of
three rooms each, with bath, and
equipped with all modern convent
ences, including gas and hot and cold
water. Each apartment has good
sized living room, bed room, kitchen
cite and bath. The apartments range
on either side of the building divided
by wide hallway in the center which
is amply lighted with skylights.
Mr.. Yarnall came to Lakeland
about twenty years ago. He went into
the transfer business nine years ago
and now has a fleet of heavy trucks
which are kept busy in the transfer,
moving and heavy hauling business.
j. A. Suit, a partner of Mr.. Yarnall
in the transfer business, entered the
business last January. He was former.
ly roadmaster for the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad.

MCKAY IS THE OLDEST
ESTABLISHED FURNITURE
STORE In THE CITY

The Mckay Furniture Company
lays claim to the. distinction of being
the city's oldest established furniture
store. There are other claims that
might well be added. One being a
well selected stock of fine furniture
and another the most courteous treat
ment possible to give its customers.
The Mckay Furniture Company was
established in Lakeland by Frank S.
Mckay in 1914. . He later associated
with himself his son, L. Kirk Mckay.
Both gentlemen are experienced fur
niture men and their knowledge and
judgment of good furniture is one of
the reasons of their successful bust
ness since coming here.
The junior member of the firm, L.
Kirk Mckay, has been with the firm
since its establishment by his father,
with the exception of the two years
he spent in the service between 1917
and 1919.
