finally selected the building formerly
used by the Army and Navy Club as the
logical building, and requested the agents
of the building to secure us as low rental
as possible. At no time throughout the
negotiations was anything said as TO the
sale price of the building. In fact, the
owners of the building were not in the
city and no definite price could have
been fixed upon without consulting them,
and any statement made by anyone that
there was an attempt to hold up Mr..
Harding and his associates by real estate
men is an absolute tissue of falsehood.
"As for the Georgia situation, it was
shown that the AIoultrse people had prac-
tically passed up the proposition and that
offers to locate in Augusta and also
Quitman. Ca, and the financial support
asked of these cities, was not in keeping
with what was asked OF the people Of
Pensacola.
when the proposition was put UP to
the Industrial Compassion of the Cham
Der Of Commerce nothing was said about
the people of Pensacola putting up any
money, but investigation proved that
stock statesmen were approached by Mr..
Harding with the statement that as soon
as the Chamber of Commerce gave its
endorsement to the proposition, he would
go to the people with stock-selling plan.
Furthermore Mr.. Harding underesti-
mated the position of the Industrial Com
missioner when, after ten days of de-
liberation, he offered to give to the IN
dustrial Commissioner IL per cent Of
$50, 900 if he would assist him in raising
the amount. This was the final link
which went to prove that the proposition
was not worth consideration, and we
dropped the entire matter.
Right here I should like to state that
the Industrial Commission at no time
viii advocate the bringing of factories to
Pensacola which have not sufficient
money to build UP their own enterprise.
We win give to enterprises every support,
but past experience has proven that the
promoters of industries who come into
the community with seemingly attractive
propositions, but with the real purpose
OF securing as much money as possible
and without investing any of their own,
are OF no benefit and these will receive
scant courtesy.
Pensacola has room for going con-
Germs. and offers for these many adj
vantages. IF there are investments to
be made. it should not be expected that
these be entirely fostered by our own
people. Pensacola has had a sufficient
number of stock statesmen seeking to
raise money here for enterprises of bene-
fit to promoters outside of this commune
ity. and we consider that a dollar invest
ed in foreign enterprises is a dollar lost
to Pensacola

NEW PLAN TO

For some time, Hygienists have rec

Gus mouth germs. According tosthese
health authorities the germs which
thrive in the mouths Of everyone may
not only cause teeth decay and gum
diseases. but may lead to more seri-
Gus diseases of the thxoats- nose and

Dentists and physicians everywhere
are therefore pleased at the success
of newly prepared antiseptic mouth
wash, Steroline, which it has been
shown. if used regularly, banishes
these dangerous germs.
Everybody is advised to gargle
Steroline frequently to spray the nose
and throat with it, and to brush the

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. s-The use

portant place in the deliberations of
the annual convention of the lmer-
lean Electric Railway Association
which opens here tomorrow. This viii
be the fortieth annual convention, the
gatherings starting seven years before
electric railways were perfected, when
mules supplied the motive power.
Besides the use Of printers ink as
a sales agency-through newspaper
advertising, car cards and other print
ed forms-other methods of transpor-
tation craftsmanship VIII be discussed
at length. There is. for instance. the
training of employees, conductors and
motormen, to act as statesmen. The
best methods of selling in use in this
country and abroad win be discussed
by experts.
Executives agree that one of the
biggest problems now confronting the
industry is the selling of its goods.
Once it was thought that it was USE
less to try to cultivate the riding
habit among people. but this now is
thoroughly disproven. In many cities
people now ride almost twice as often
as they formerly did and this IS
traceable, in many cases, to intensive
rides craftsmanship.
