urging the American public to complete the

To this end the Office of Defense Trans-

with retail stores everywhere, they 'are back-

WAR EMERGENCY



calls for







MORE PULPWOOD



RECENT CHANGES in the War situation on both
fronts have skyrocketed demands for pulp-
wood products.
The Pacific timetable has been stepped up-and
so have the needs for packaging materials and
shipping containers made of pulpwood.
Prospects of a Winter War in Europe require
many additional tons of. supplies packaged in
pulpwood products.
Because most packaging materials for the Armed
Forces come from the South, the nation looks to us
to step up the supply of pulpwood immediately.


The importance of quality

Make every axe-stroke count. Cut only wood that
is sound and straight.

Invested by the Florida National Group

in North Florida City and County Bonds


The progress of regioti can
usually be measured by the pro-
gressive spirit of its 'communities ,
Towns and cities with unpaved
streets, lack'of sewer systems
and other major public improve-
ments bespeak of a poor and
.backward area.*'

,Yet no matter how progressive
a community's viewpoint, it takes
money to make improvements
*.. large sums of money that are
needed at once.'Taxes finally pay
'for the improvements; but taxes
can't pay for them immediately
'without heavily overburdening
the taxpayers.' So bonds are is-
sued to finance the work. The
buyer of the bonds becomes,
indirectly, a benefactor of the
community even though the
securities were purchased merely'
Las a sound business proposition.
"D- 0 -- '-


Banks of the Florida National
Group have a large holding of,
Florida city and county bonds-
$19,500,000 worth of such bonds,
in fact. These bonds were bought'
as a good investment, yes, but
also because they represented an
opportunity to contribute to'
Florida's progress.
Included in this $19,500,000
total are $5,236,925 in bonds
issued by eleven North Florida
counties and communities there-
in. Their purchase by the Florida
National Group Banks as an in-'
vestment has enabled these coun-
ties, towns, cities and road and
school districts to keep in the
vanguard of progress. We might'
have chosen to invest our money
elsewhere, but we are proud toi
say that we preferred to invest it
where it would benefit these
North Florida counties and their
political subdivisions.!
