The Ocala Sub Association AppealsFor Unity v

The following letter addressed toall the turpentine men in the Ocalasection has been issued by a com ¬

mittee of the progressive Ocala sub

of the Turpentine Operators Associa ¬

tionOcala Florida April 24 1905

Dear SirWith the present changestaking place in the naval stores busi ¬

ness amounting almost to a complete-new order of things and considering-

the important position our industryhas assumed in the commerce of theworld we must naturally feel a cer¬

tain amount of pride in what hasbeen accomplished and should let itinspire us to a more determined ef¬

fort on the part of each and everyoperator to spare no pains and letno stone remain unturned to promote

I

the success and welfare of this indus-

I try in which all our hopes are center-ed

I

j We are beginning theseason of 1905j under very flattering conditions

Prices are good compared with those-of the past and labor less trouble-some

¬

The organization of the giganticNaval Stores Export Company places-our industry in a most enviable posi ¬

tion and it is the duty of us all tosustain this company as it is only byits aid that we can hope to repel theonslaughts of the enemy which ifnot opposed will force prices down toan unprofitable basis

The formation of this companyserves as a striking example of whatcan be done through concentrationof forces and unity of purpose andit is by this plan alone that we canhope to attain satisfactory results

The most apparent danger withwhich we are confronted is a slight

i

tendency among some of the operaI tors toward disorganization which

above all things we cannot at thepresent time afford without our interests suffering

Therefore let us stand togethermore closely than before so that atall times we may be enabled to han-dle such problems as may confront-us intelligently and to our mutualbenefit

The Ocala Sub has from the or¬

ganization of the Turpentine Oper-

ators Association been one of thestrongest and most zealous in thebattle for the betterment of our condition and we must earnestly appeal-

to our members to uphold this repu ¬

tation by attending regularly themeetings of the association which-are held on the second Thursday ineach month at ten oclock and by I

using their best efforts to induce I

such desirable operators as are notalready members to join and thusbenefit by the discussion of matters

I

which are of vital interest to us allTrusting to see you at all our meet ¬

ings in the future we areYours very truly-
