Arrangement has been made whereby Mr. Iversen in the interests of the growers will spend his entire time at the packing ‘house, looking after the details of the growers, and ready at all times to show each transaction every day, from the package packed to the way bill for the shipment and what th shipment brought. Mr. Hall, furthermore, will buy everything submitted to him such as beans, cucumbers or other pro- duce at prevailing prices or will sell same at a nominal charge as desired by the grower. This is a chance for the grower not heretofore presented and it will be necessary for every ope to avail- himself of its benefits NOW, by notifying either Mr. E. H. Hall or Mr. Iversen of their willingness to sign up their tomatoes for pack- ing.. Mr. Hall is a resident of our city, having lived at 416 South Flor- ida for the past two years and can be recommended to the growers as being trustworthy in every respect. The following prominent ‘grow- ers have already signed up or signi- fied their willingness to sign up when contract is submitted: Dr. Conibear, Mr. Driggers, Barhite, Iversen, Pope, Dr. Sylvester, R. G. Dubose, J. Hays, E. Hays, Haw- thorne, Mr. Eulenfeld, the great Scott Liake Farms, and many others. Mr. Hall would like to be ad- vised immediately of any acreage of tomatoes not already called on so that same can be given attention and it is necessary to know at once how much there is. It will require at least 100 acres to make it a pay- ing venture and we are assured that The “Brighten Up Store,” Mr. Folks and Dr. Jackson proprietors, theld its formal opening yesterday afternoon and evening, and during the receiving hours a large number] of people called to inspect this at- tractive new store. Assisting the proprietors in receiving were Miss Nuna Patton and Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Folks, who showed the visit- ors their fine line of curtain goods, wall papers, and other goods car- ried with which to “brighten up.’ Wafers and punch were served and 1 enjoyed the visit very much. Mr. and Mys. ‘E. S. Manning, of rone, Pa., ‘who spent the winter in Lakeland, having rooms at the residence of Mr. Powell Ottinger, left today 'for‘their northern home. They made: warm:friends while here who deeply regretted to see them leave, for they fare people of sterl- ing qualities 'whom to know is to respect and esteem,. Mr, Manning purchased & lot and built a nice lit- tle bungalow in the Ozone Grove while here, and his friends all hope |, that he and Mrs. ‘Manning will re- turn next winter to occupy it per- manently. ’ Mr. and Mrs. L.
