CIGARMAKERS BOYCOTT
TAMPA RETAIL STORES
WILL BUY NO CLOTHES FOR
THREE MONTHS.
Movement Innaugurated With Great
Deal of Publicity in All Factories.
TAMPA, Oct. 28 The cigarmakers
have declared their intention to re
frain from patronizing the retail dry
goods and shoe shops in Ybor City,
Tampa, and West Tampa, for the next
ninety days, believing that by this
means prices may be forced down.
The universal boycott went into ef
fect Saturday, handbills being pass
ed about among the workers and their
families, and the details of the plan
read in the shops by the shop readers,
with the result that hardly any of the
Latin people were to be seen in the
dry goods stores Saturday night. In
eome of the shops the matter was put
to vote and the movement met with
enthusiastic support.
But the shop keepers are far from
being enthusiastic about it and aver
that if the present condition is kept
up for ninety days, it will result not
in prices coming down, but in the
shutters going up on many of the
stores.
One of the Ybor storekeepers stat
ed last night that he had been told
the circular passed among the cigar
makers, advised them to refrain from
buying in Tampa, but instead to pur
chase all their goods of the mail or
der houses, therby taking the money
away frsm the city altogether. The
jvorkers state that the handbills mere
ly set forth that the people had
enough clothing and shoes for the
next three months and they should not
buy more during that time to bring
down the prices.

The warm welcome accorded the Palatka Daily News has been most encour
aging to the publishers. It is proof positive that the American people are
demanding more speed, even in getting the world's news. We print it the
day it happens. The afternoon paper is steadily gaining in public favor.
It is distinctly the home paper everywhere.
World's Greatest
Afternoon Service
The Palatka Daily News carries the United Press afternoon service. This
organization serves more afternoon papers than any two news associations
m the country. It is crisp, interesting and reliable. It speaks for itself as
it is presented daily in the columns of the Daily News. This servioe will
be increased in number of words as soon as additional facilities for handling
it are received.
Why We Chose The
Afternoon Field
. The publishers chose'to enter the afternoon field, in preference to the morn
ing field for reasons that are so obvious that there was no occasion for hesi
tancy. If experience had proven that the morning fields is the mostide
sirable in cities the size of Palatka present conditions here would not have
decided the publishers not to enter that field. But the afternoon field is
the field for the advertiser and the reader locally.
In the United States there are two afternoon papers for every morning paper
In Elorida there are nineteen afternoon papers and eleven morning papers.
In no city is there a morning paper where there isn't an afternoon paper
except Palatka.
These figures prove that the demand of advertisers is that their store news
shall be circulated on thefday it is printed and on the day that current news
happenings are chronicled. In large centers of population the morning
papers depends, to a large extent, on its general circulation outside
the local field.
Seventy-five per cent of the advertising for local readers in New York and
Chicago is carried by the afternoon papers,
The afternoon paper goes into the home before supper, just whenhe house
wife is finishing her day's work and when the husband has come home from
his labors. From it is mapped out tomorrow's purchases, as there is no
time in the morning for wife or husband to look overthe moraiug paper un
til after the first rush of activity incident to the starting of the day. (
This is the age of speed and people want the news the day it happens. That's
why the publishers chose to enter the afternoon field.
