Most people have had widely the

Heretofore Florida hits been widely
advertised, hut largely by
cities. They have spent money lavish

mendous growth ol these cities and in
the rush of men and money
Florida which, even if regarded sober
ly, is staggering, for as far as one
can judge it surpasses anything ever
seen in this country. The rush to
California, both of men and money.
creating the vast wealth of that state,
is at the present time probably being
largely surpassed by the movement
of men of great power and wealth
into Florida, with the vast upbuilding
enterprises which they are handling;
hut Florida is not satisfied.
A few ilays ago a meeting was held
at West Palm Beach called the All
Florida Development Congress. It had
l een called by many of the foremost
men of the state, and the attendance
of great leaders in finance and city
tipbuilding activities proved that they
were in deadly earnest. Unlike many
rAwtirigfs called in other states, where
Ihe attendance has been slim and the
spirit of liberality and enthusiam
lacking, this meeting brought togeth
er about 150 men—millionaires, mul
l,millionaires, city upbuilders, railroad
people and others, all desperately in

I tried to sweep the room I would
soon be gasping for breath and feel

ever seeing another well day.

began to feel better. Why, I ac¬

time in five years, and it didn’t hurt
me a bit.
"Now, since taking two bottles,
I feel entirely well. I have gained
30 pounds already and feel at least
20 years younger. My neighbors
are all marveling at my recovery,
and I will never stop praising Kar

feels just like I do about Kamak,
and he wouldn’t let me stop taking
it if it cost $15 a bottle.”

AS THE world s largest manu
Jx. facturers of farm electric
plants, we have been working for
months on the development of a
lighting plant that could be sold
at a radically lower price a price
j{ low that it would bring elec¬
tricity within the reach of every
farm home in America.
We knew that a million farm
homes were ready for electricity—
that a million farmers realized
the money-saving, time-saving
value of electricity—that a million
farm women had learned that
electricity would lighten the bur¬
dens of farm life and bring new
happiness and new opportunities
to their families.
A Price That Is Revolu¬
tionary
We realized that a small reduc¬
tion in price would not be enough.
It must be revolutionary—drastic.
And wc wanted to be able to offet
this plant on very easy terms—so
that every farm home, whether
owned or rented, could have the
benefits that are so much appre¬
ciated on the 200,000 farms where
Delco-Light is now in use.
And New It's Ready
Today the new Delco-Light is
teady. It is more than we had
hoped. Quantity production—

pull and a hard pull and a stady pull,
year after year, will be the only way
in which achievements worth while to
the South can be accomplished, but
these things can be. done if the spirit
which animates the people of Florida,
as shown in this convention, is caught
by the people of other Southern states.
The newspapers must be leaders.
