SONES COMPANY
ANNOUNCES NEW
MODEL HOME

An attractive model home that Is
now opne for inspection has JUST
been completed at 571 Brighton
street by Sones Lumber Co. IN CO.
operation with I. V. Hardware CO.
and Milton Zinn.
This home said Merle SoneS, is
a duplicate Of the home now beng
shown at the San Diego Exposition
1t is of a patented construction that
is especially economical to build. EV
cry piece of lumber and other con
strlction material comes ready-cut
TO fit into its correct place in the
building so construction cosst are re
duced to a surprisingly economical
basis.
However, one can quickly see, up
on inspection, that this is not a so
called 'cracker-boX' type of house.
The concrete foundation supports
extra heavy floor ioistS and the en-.
tire house is scientifically construct
ed for maximum strength and sturd
mess.
"Knotty pine has been used
throughout the interior SoneS con-
tinued, and this popular new fin
ish is seen at its best in this home
Ali exterior walls and the ceiling
have been insulated with famous
JIM rock wool which keeps heat
out.
Venetian blinds add greatly to
the attractiveness of the house ano
give light without glare inside.
THE I. V. Hardware in co,Opera
ton with us has completely furn-
ished the house in keeping with its
style of architecture, which is true
early California. and have also
supplied the Hotpoint electric
electric range, Norge Rollator re
frigerator Eureka vacuum cleaner
and RCA Victor radio.
I'VE sincerely believe Sones
said, that this home will open the
eyes of any person in the valley
who has thought it necessary to
pay an eXorbitant price to enjoy
the comforts and luXuries of a new
home completely furnished with
high quality furniture. We have
never seen or built home which
gave the builder more convenience
and attractiveness for his invest
ment," Sones concluded

PEOPLES FORUM
WHY NOT TRY DATES?

EDITOR, Inc ClJlZen:
As a semi-permanent resident
of Key West 1 have, perhaps, lit
tie at stake in the future of the
community. 1 do, however, dis
like waste, particularly such con-
spicuous waste as l see in one
form or another in many parts Of
Key West. Man kbout Town has
brought attention to the waste of
coconuts and coconut products,
and has promised more articles
on similar subjects. He, how
ever, terms this waste a failure
to utilize resources. The two ex-
pressions. are sometimes synony-
nous.
What l have in mind just now
is the quite large amount OF dates
produced and wasted on this is
land. Everyone in Key West
knows that dates grow here, that
they mature successfully, and
that they are of good quality. No
one in Key West, apparently,
makes the slightest attempt to do
anything more than to pick a few
for their own personal consump-
ton. AS consequence when one
wants dates in Key West, for
cooking or confectionery, she Tor
he) goes into store and buys
California or Persian dates, thus
sending some money away, never
to return. The amount is perhaps
not great, but the principle re-
mains, together with the fact that
dates can and should mean an in
come to the island rather than an
outgo, however small, from the is
land.
If those people who own date
palms would pick the dates, or al,
low them to be picked, a more
than sufficient supply Cor Key
Vests needs would be accum-
ulated., The curing of the dates
to prepare them for market is
probably nothing more than dry
ing them in the sun. The ex-
pense would then be practically
nothing for the grower or picker,
and the profit from even one tree
would be worth the time and
trouble of marketing the dates.
Key West dates in packages
would be a very attractive SOU
venir for winter visitors, or un-
usual gifts for friends up north.
Key West dates could doubtless
be combined with Key West COCO
nut in a CONNECTION that would
have wide appeal, both as to taste
and appearance, and also as to
wholesomeness. Let's hear from
some of our Key West cooks
about such possibilities. 1t is not
yet too late to save and use some
of this seasons "crop" of dates.
Key West is trying to attract
winter visitors as a beautiful and
quaint city. Date palms are much
more graceful and charming at
all times than the palmettos or
"petticoat palms" with which the
island is sprinkled. A few date
palms planted in the proper places
will enhance the beauty of Key
West and at the same time add
to the pocket-money of the prop
erty-owner who is far-seeing
enough to plant them.
A few years ago a man here
in Key West obtained 500 date
seeds and started them in pots.
He was prompted solely by a
spirit of helpfulness and goodwill
toward the people of Key West
as he had no place to plant them
himself. He was able to give
away only five. and had to de-
stroy the rest. What an indict-
, ment of Key Vest
Were, /. to be in Key West per-
