How They Can be Fostered and
Prospereds

It requires no argument to sustain the
assertion that the community which sup
ports and fosters home enterprise and manu-
features must necessarily become prosper
Gus and nourishing. The fact is so patent
as to force conviction upon every intel
ligent mind. Communities are cooperative
and mutual in their character, and when q
people show their appreciation OF this prac-
tically as well as theoretically, the results
can but prove profitable and advantageous,
hence the importance OF sustain
ing home industries, whose success is for
the general good. Many Of our people have
frequently sent away for that which they
can obtain In their own city, and much more
to their satisfaction, simply because they
have fallen into the habit Of it, and don't
give the matter that consideration they
should. Many possibly are not aware of the
fact that they can be as well suited In every
respect at home as they can De abroad,
possibly better. In writing thus
we only desire to present q subject of
no little importance in light which must
impress every citizen who gives any thought
to the future welfare and prosperity of the
community In which he lives, and whose
ideas soar beyond the mere confines Of his
individual business. A moments reflection
will satisfy any intelligent man that large
amount OF money Is annually sent out of
this city, aiding and building up the manu-
factories of other places, which could be
more judiciously and as proftably expended
In the same way here, as we will presently
show.
This can easily be done by combining our
remarks to one line-mercaRtile printing
and in this connection we would refer to
the MORNING NEWS establishment, from
one OF the departments of which for some
months past there has been turned out
work in q new line, which should have the
announcement Of those who really desire
to build up home Industry. IL the finer
lines OF commercial and mercantile print
ing, Hthographing and engraving has super
ceded the ordinary job work, which In
its day was considered perfection. The
proprietor of the MORNING News establish
ment determined that those who desired
this finer style of work should not be COM
PEELED to send abroad for 1t, and last fall
steam lithographing department was added
to the facilities of the establishment, q first
class artist and engraver, and a corps of
skilled Workmen were secured, and the
artistic printing which has been produced
during the interval is the best evil
dence of what can be done. The
introduction of this branch, with its valua-
bic machinery and properties, was a costly
experiment, but not hazardous one, pro-
Vfded the local work of our business men
can be retained at home. The determine
ton is to do this, IL excellent work and
prices the same as charged in Northern
cities can accomplish It, With this purpose
in view the proprietor of the MORNING
NEWS establishment requests that those
who desire anything In the engraving or
lithOgraphing line, such as bonds, bills OF
exchange, checks, drafts, invoices, circu-
lars, note heads and letter heads, bill heads
and the various kinds of work now
executed by this process, will give the new
branch a trial, with his usual guarantee that
all orders shall be well executed or no pay
required.
1t is not an exaggeration to say that fully
one hundred thousand dollars worth of this
class Of work is sent out of this State every
season, which can and should be done at
home, and deserved support thus be given to
people who buy goods Of our merchants and
pay rents to our property owners. The
MORNING NEWS establishment gives employ
ment to more people than any institution
in this city, excepting the railroads, ard it's
pay roll for labor alone amounts to $50, 900
per annum, all OF which is expended in our
community.
Il Is not in an egotistical spirit or a desire
to parade a large business that we make
this statement, but with the object of dem
onstrating to those who are interested IN
the prosperity Of Savannah how easily home
industries, the value of which has been so
often presented, can be fostered and pros
pered without any investment on their part
merely the expanding of money thew now
send abroad among their own people.
