Nick Ford
Ships Fine Fruit
Mr. Nick Ford, one of Cocoa's
private citrus grove owners, has
been shipping some fine navel and
pineapple oranges, tangerines and
grapefruit for the last several
weeks. This fruit, Mr. Ford states,
is all tree-ripened and is without a doubt some of the finest of
the state's citrus belt.
Mr. Ford has filled private orders to both old and new customers already, and is steadily receiving orders for gift boxes for
Christmas. With his bicycle repair
and rental shop on Magnolia and
his fruit picking and shipping business, he has been kept pretty busy
recently.
Is Xmas Present
Mr. Wallace Brothers, young and
successful business man of this
city and proprietor of the Economy Store and former proprietor
of the adjoining ice cream parlor and drug sundry, has presented the ice cream parlor and
sundry to his wife, Mrs. Harriette
Brothers as a Christmas gift.
This gesture was made early
last week, as was stated by Mr.
Brothers, and already proud Mrs.
Brothers has taken over and renamed the business "Harriette's
Ice Cream Parlor" and she has
planned a new set-up with many
interesting features for the holidays.
See her advertisement on another page of this issue.
Mr. Brothers, a native Floridian,
was born in this county and shelved signs industrially at an early
age and for five years he and his
wife, who is of Holly Hill, S. C,
were proprietors of a successful
ice cream parlor in Monmouth,
111.
Returning here in 1943, they ran
a grocery* cafe and market at another location on Magnolia Street,
which business was a favorite for
ice creams and frozen custards
during the war years when such
delicacies were a luxury. Since
moving into their present location at 233 and 237 Magnolia
their two separate businesses have
proved to be equally successful.
Mrs. Brothers is inviting the
public to stop in during the holidays for refreshments rarely served here.

A vast number of children of

with Old St. Nicholas last night

with the thrill of seeing Santa
Claus last night, the children received gifts of candies and £um
and other iiiceties which attract
all little children. Santa promised
to meet these kids and many more
next year at Walters, and with
the kids, it's a date.
