SOLID
HAINES CITY
("'*AN A city be solid? As well ask, “Can gold I
be solid ?”> Of course it can. Besides, solid
gold is the only gold worth while. There used
to be jewelry called ‘gold washed’. It had the
appearance but not the reality.
There are cities like that, but Haines City is not
one of them. It has substance. Nothing hollow
about it. Its finances are sound. Its Banks are
busy and growing. Its Factories are increasing.
Its Business Concerns are expanding. Ona Whole- |
sale House is doing approximately |750,000 a
year. There is no commercial camouflage about ;
Haines City. We have the real thing.
This applies also to the real estate. The land is
high and dry, standing 221 feet above sea level.
It has an enviable location in the center of
Central Florida, consequently its values are as
high aa its elevation: but, fortunately for the in-
vestor, the prices are still low by comparison.
This is a state of affairs which is distinctly fa-
vorable for action, and the time for action is mw.
NOT TOMORROW. NOT NEXT WEEK. NOW.
