Up in the central part OF Florida there is small
town that is doing something unusual 1t is working
the theory that the home folk after ALL the

home folk in a novel way, in a way that should
mend itself to other communities.
This small town realizes that the burdens of the
community rest the shoulders Of its citizens and
that of these burdens the heavier rest on the backs
of the business Of the Putting it generally
business persons of one kind or another This COM
munity conceived the idea that the biggest help
that could to it would be through its help of it's
merchants; so started help the baker and
grocer the drygoods and the jeweler its hardware
and drug dealers. 1t chose Saturday of each week as
the day to operate 1t proposed that everybody in town
get down town early Saturday and stay late and
that rural folk come to town early in the day. 1t did
not rest there There bigger than Just
up some attractive premiums. One of these is free

Another is free band concert Still another is free
bathing. Citizens and business men are offering those
things solution for form of advertising the town
and building up its industries. And the band plays
while the popuace bathes lunch is served and then are
shown two reels of comedy five of play and one reel

The town that is doing this is Clermont. Clermont

undertakings the New York Packer this week published
views of mammoth packing house in the metropolis
with a capacity of million boxes of apples about
the same quantity of citrus fruits The photograph in

block and that the facilities for loading and unloading
and for refrigeration, represent the last word this type
of construction. With facilities of this kind available
it will be possible to keep fruit for long periods of time
in fact, New York will be able to enjoy fresh apples
all next winter even though snow the ground many
feet deep This thing called cold storage has solved the
fruit problem the matter Of equalization of distribution
without regard to seasons.

where parking space at premium According to the
Orlando paper the building will be ten stories high and
will have capacity for 1000 cars Elevators will be
provided which have a speed of 500 feet per minute
Thus business man will drive his car onto the elevator
and in minutes it will be on the top floor neatly
tucked away its stall where it will remain until he is
ready to go home The space is rented by the year to
business who find it icut to get parking space in
the downtown districts Thee will also be supply room

VALUE OF THE BUILDING AND LOAN

Every city in this country able to boast CT local
building and loan association will be interested in the
statistics submitted at the annual meeting of the United
States League of Building and Loan Associations held
Cincinnati The first item of interest indicative of the
spread of local associations that 647 were incorporated
within the past year, the membership now being close to
SIX million people, men, women and children. The re-
of these organizations have reached the enormous
total of $780, 7o4, OIL The reports say that during
the year l920 the associations leaned more than $780,
100000 for house building and last year the total was
$o93,000000, the slump of course being attributable
TO the stringent financial times. Lakeland has a
building and loan association with Offices in the Polk
County Trust Company that deserving of the support
of every citizen While only youngster. it has al
ready been instrumental in aiding the erection of needed
houses in Lakeland and providing a good start for
people who would otherwise not have been able to make
a start in the own your own home movement A
wellmanaged successful building and loan association
