And I've on the funds of our oyster
farm.
Wen cut no weeds and piow no
rows;
No mules TO feed. and need no hoes.
Wen hunt and fish while the oys.
tiers grow.
/ And linger where sea breezes blow.
/ II beats the shop--it beats the store.
And every "trip Just calls FOR more.
/ Wen roll our bread in Florida
honey.
And live like a king on oyster
money"
Take our advice. we mean no harm
You'd better own a share IN our
oyster farm.
When WIN We Get Our First Har.
vest? When VIII II Pay Cash
Dividends?
According to an official book or re.
port published by the State OF Flor.
ida, oysters in Florida waters grow
to lawful. marketable size of
three inches or more in twelve
months. However. we do not in
end to harvest our first crop OF oys.
ters from our 500.acre oyster farm
until the anVual opening Of the
oyster season Oct. l, 1922. and Of
course our FIRST cash dividends
win be paid from our FIRST har.
vest (the same season..
Every cent Of the net profits Of
this association viii be ANNUAL
LIZ distributed among its members
in cash dividends--once each year
until the end Of the world. For ex.
ample, should your investment pay
you $500 net per month. you would
get your annual dividend check at
the close of the season, for $500
all in one check.
