Some of the advertising Florida has received has been detrimental to the interests of the State; much of ¢ the efforts of advertising have been wasted, but some intelligent public- ity work has been done that is bear- ing fruit. Much more remains to be done. 9 The whole country is full of peo- iple who would like to better their They would gladly like to move to a more beautiful and equa- 'ble climate where fertile lands are low in price and where the country is progressing instead of standing still or retrograding. Florida fur- nishes this opportunity and as fast I as the people are finding it out, they are embracing it. ' Tt is the duty of every F'loridian‘ to bring t hese people and these op- portunities together. Journnl SLOAN PARK TO BE PUT ON THE MARKET.

While we expect to (sell a good deal of our holdings “there, we expect to hold a good por- tion of it, so as to get some of the benefits, which are sure to result from the carrying out of our plans.
