WHAT THEY SPEND FOR ADVERTISING * An enlightening lot of carefully compiled concerning the percentages of gross receipts spent for advertising by a number of firms doing a nation- wide business has recently been published in Ramsey's “Constructive Advertising.” = Sears, Roebuck & Co. spend 10 per cent of th8ir gross for advertising. Welch’s Grape Juice, O18 Dutch Cleanser, and Mavis also spend 10 per cent; Evinrude Motors, 8 per cent; McCray Refrig- .erators and Champion Spark Plugs, 7 per cent; Velvet Tobacco, 6 per cent. Betty Wales Dresses, Fatima Cigarettes, Markham Air Rifles and Phono- graphs, 5 per cent. " These are only a few of the concerns whose advertising appropriations run intd enormous sums and everyone knows that they do an ever increas- ing volume of business year after year. = Yet, in spite of such an overwhelming proof of the efficacy of. intelligent publicity, many local merchants still deceive themselves with the idea that they “can’t afford to advertise.” ; NEW FLORIDA SLOGAN . (Tampa Tribune) 2 Here’s a new slogan—and a good one—for Fibrida. Billie B. Bush, Tampa attorney, in Atlanta a few days ago, talking with a group of friends about the pros. and cons of this great state. = To the doubting observations of the Georgians, Mr. Bush replied: _ “THAT LAND UPON WHICH GOD. HAS | SMILED, WHO DARES FROWN UPON IT? THAT LAND IS FLORIDA.” The}lawyer’s phrase made an immediate im- | Pression upon the group, which included several | judges of the Court of Appeals of Georgia. “You should have it copyrighted,” they woe: gested. ; } Bat Mr. Bush says Florida may have the ex- | PrPigion freely, if it can be used to any advantage. | i REY WEST—A cITy OF HOMES Potentially Key West is destined to. be a city of homes in a magnificent natural setting, rather than “a city of magnificent distances.” With Nature’s favor, and withthe Overseas Motor Road being swiftly built from either end, the time is more rapidly approaching than the majority of our citizens realize, when home de- velopments amid really American tropical sur- roundings will be insistently required. We say, “the time is more rapidly approach- | ing,” because none of us can truly ‘comprehend | the flight of time. Our minds flash so quickly back to memories of other days that in. the fraction of a@ second we bridge a gap of many years. Think, it is twelve years now since the World War begun! | Therefore, if within the next six months the Cc. A. P. Turner Construction Company of Minne- apolis begins to make an actuality their tentative proposition to start the bridges needed to complete the Oversea Highway—and we feel assured they | will—we have but thirty months from that memor- able day until we shall be a city in-gala attire, jammed, with clamorous people, thousands upon | thousands, who have gathered here to cheer a pro- | cession, bands playing, flags flying, that will cross the Wonder Highway, swing over the last- bridge | connecting Stock Island with Key West Island on | this end and thus etch another date in history. This glimpse at the climax which is promised in about one thousand days may well admonish Key West to begin her preparedness now. The bridges done and the entire scenic road- way opened, the new problems of the city will heap themselves upon her with terrific force and with stupendous speed. Against that time, and to pro- vide for all that will occur after that time has come, Key West must begin to plan this future now and while she may. f | Once the City Government shall have put itself on record as favoring a competent city plan, and a zoning expert of efficiency is secured in an advisory capacity to blaze the trail we must travel, the entire situation now somewhat~obseure will quickly be clarified, Then we shall see how Key West is to be as it must be, a city of homes.rather “than a city of commerce and trade, will pick. up the rythm of plannnig progress and. through its not too intricate zoning laws put homes where they ought to be and keep business out of the home regions to operate in its own zones where it ough: to operate. The day is not far distant when the acres of wooden houses between the Navy Yard, the Marine Hospital, Fort Taylor and the Court House will be wiped out by building wreckers. In their places To break up a cold overnight or to cut short an attack of grippe, influenza, sore throat or tonsilitis, physicians and druggists are now recommending Calotabs, the puri- fied and refined calomel com- pound tablets that gives you the effects of calomel and salts com- | bined, without the unpleasant ef- fects of either. One or two -Calotabs at bed- |time with a swallow of water,— |that’s all. No salts, no nausea poe the slightest interference with your eating, work or pleasure. |Next morning your cold has |vanished, your system is thor- joughly purified and you are feel- |ing fine with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please, —no danger. Get a family package, contain- jing full directions, only 35 cents. !Ag any drug store.—Adv.

Think these things over. THE LATE WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN Editorial writer's,” citizens aud. socitties the | P country over will endeavor to pay’a fitting tribute to the immortal name of the late Honorable Wil- liam Jennings Bryan, who would have been 66 years old if the all wise God had spared his life until today. Known in the earlier days of his political career as “the Boy Orator of the Platte,” William Jennings Bryan came out from: Nebraska and charmed the whole nation with his eloquence, his power and purity of speech. Nothing daunt€a by frequent failures te re- alize his aspirations for the presidential chair, W. J. Bryan settled down at Omaha and published a Democratic journal, and from the name of this | periodical came the title ‘of The Great Commoner, | by which he was known the country over for many years. Never successful in political campaigns and | without ever, perhaps, holding an executive office j in the organized Democratic party, William Jen- nings Bryan was the acknowledged dominating power in Democracy for a decade or'tmore, and was | decidedly the most honored and influential mem- | ber of his party when death claimed him last.sum- | mer at Dayton, Tenn. Through all his political career, Bryan never lost sight of his God and the cause of Christianity. His was a life of service for others, and at the time of his death he was at Dayton upon his own volition | and at his own expense in the interest of a cause that was near to his heart. Only death could sep- arate him from his performance of duty to God and humanity; and during all his days, from the cradle to the grave, an accusing finger was never pointed at him, and never was an ¢ifort made to besmirch his ever immaculate name. It can be truthfully said of Wm. J. Bryan that he was a good, clean, conscientious Christian gen- tleman, a true and devout servant of God and man- kind, and no more-could be said of any man. Tt may be all right to stop the business men | from getting too much profit, but the people should not throw themselves out of work while doing so.
