A syndicate of wealthy Texas
aud Portland capitalists last week
lurchosed a 76-acre tract of laud
back of the City Park. The price
paid was $388,000, or nearly $4,-
000 per acre. This tract is not as
sightly, the view is no better and
it will take 110 longer to reach the
heart of the city from Whitwood
Court when the trolley line is iu
operation, Iu fact the latter lo
cality is by far the most desirable,
because an outlet is aitorded by wa
ter, railroad and by trolley iu a very
short time. The view is magnifi
cent, the water unsurpassed and
the price of the land is still within
the reach of all, .Some day when
the price of this land soars to four
or five thousand dollars an acre our
people will wake up and find they
have left a fortune slip by.

coustantaly buying be will install

Holbrook block formerly occupied
by the Prall Mercantile company.
Mr. Cobb, with the ready money,
watches for bankrupt stocks and
buys them at such figures that he
is enabled to give our people prices
they have never seen in St. Johns
before. He has been too busy this
week to prepare his announcement
nd advertisement, but will have
something to say to the people next
week. We trust our people will
give Mr. Cobb a hearty welcome
by a liberal pa'tronage.

Keep Bright and You
WILL KEEP BUSY
Electric Light is the magnet thnt draws trade. The
bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can
110 more resist the nttrnctiou of n brilliant, Electrically lighted
store than they can resist the clarion call of n brass band.
Is your competitor with the Electrically illuminated show
windows, bright interior and sparkling Electric Sign getting
an advantage over you? The moth never flutters around the
uulighted cnudlel Up-to-date stores nowadays consider
shop-window lighting n necessity, whether they remain 01011
after dark or not. Competition forces modern methods.
A show window brilliantly illuminated with Electric
light will make many 11 sale "the night before." Electric
light compels attention, makes easy the examination of your
display, shows goods iu detail and fabrics iu their true colors.
Aud don't neglect the Electric Sign. It is soliciting
"tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning
your name in the public mind. It is n solicitor thnt never
becomes weary never stops work costs little.
