There are also some hitherto unusual reas- growth, principal among which s the spirit of development by home '«;upiml of home people, who are withdrawing their surplus funds from outside investments and plac- ing them in home enterprises of var- “tious Kinds. Nor are these invest- ment confined to narrow or limited lines, A study of the situation will con- vitee the close observer that this sur- plus capital is being distributed throughout practically every field | where industry, and human effort of- i tor profitable returns on investments. {This condition is especially notice- able in the continued increasing number of banks being established "throughout the state; also of the es- . tablishment of home insurance com- | panies, both fire and life. | Usually the establishment of these institutions attracts little or at most a passing interest, but upon reflect- Lion, the observant man recogpizes in | them their most potent power for good, in that the vast sums sent out of the state annually to pay the premiums or cost for property and life protection can be kept at home, becomes an active force and influence and part of the circulating medium of the country. Thus the retention {of these vast sums of money within the state for use in bullding up our agricultural, commercial and indus- trial institutions will become a bless- ing and save the necessity of bor- | rowing millions for our business and thug enriching others needlessly. If our latent resources are develop- ed for our interest, it must be by our own efforts with home capital.

Another power for upbuilding onur state, which is unversally admitted, {but not appreciated as it should be |is the establishment of manufactor ies, not necessarily of great size and capital, but of moderate size and capital.

Large numbers of these 3\:1!01’4 are scattering throughou the State and visiting sections that a year or o ago were little known to the average visitor. The principa | cause of this great influx of visitors | this early in the season is the wide spread publicity that Florida ha ceived during the past two years | It is far more than probable thal quite a number of these visitors will invest in Florida lands while here, for from the time they first arrive in the State they begin making in- quiries concerning various sections ONEYEARINB?'IEWYORK THELION~ - AND THE MOUSE MAGGIE PEPPERETC.

When we consider the mementous importance of the matters discussed herein and their relation to the | welfare of our state and the soutn as well, the conclusion is irresistible that the south is the best country :in America for the agriculturist, the i fruit grower, the truck farmer, the ' live stock grower, the investor, the manufacturer, and, above all, for the laboring man endowed with lofty | aims and who has the ambition ant |} the energy to succeed in the strug- gles of life. Open to Every Man. In Florida the opportunity to}- achieve these ends and enjoy these blessings is open to every man in ali | the walks of life, as in no other state; he has the vantage of the finest climate in America and soils unsurpassed if he be an agricultur- ist, or Jive stock grower, an artisan, a manufacturer, a laboring man, or s whether engaged in any professiou, | g industry or pursuit, where the in- fluence of climate adds to the com- fort and happiness of the individual as well as the success of the indus- try.
