the Medium of Communication.
Does any business man in Savannah need
TO be told OF what has been going on in the
commercial emporium Of the South Allan
tic since the last trade review of the MORN
ING News was publishedl The MORNING
NEWS thinks not. Probably in the history
of this country there was never before such
g state of affairs as that which was brought
about by the troubles of the great banking
house in London. In the eventful nine
months that have elapsed since then Sa-
vannah's merchants have stood In the front
the heavy raids on the banks of the city, and
the large Investments Of Ssvannah's surplus
capital in railroad building, Florida phos-
phate mines, local manufactures and real
estate ventures, the business outlook is not
only healthy, but very promising. Savan-
nah has passed through the financial storm
in safety, with a sound and seaworthy hull,
and all her spars, sails and rigging in good
condition. She is ready for another pros
porous voyage under the more balmy bust
ness skies of 1912.
Doubtless without the new railroads Sa-
vannah would not have had so prosperous
year. With the beginning of this cur
rent year we have the Savannah, Americus
and Montgomery railroad completed to
Montgomery, Ala, and the South Bound
railroad to Columbia, S. c., will be ready
for business this month, There are good
reasons for hoping that the Macon and At
lantic railroad and the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic railroad will be contributing to
the trade of the city before the end of the
twelvemonth.
OF course everybody knows that Savan-
nah is to be the South Atlantic terminus of
the great transcontinental aud interstate
system Of railroads by the incorporation of
Terminal and Gould's lines of transporta-
ton. This all portends good fortune to the
enterprising merchant Savannahs ops
portunities have been great in the past, but
these were as nothing when compared with
those opening to her now. 1t is for her peo-
pie to take hold of the golden opportunity
which, We are told. taken at the food,
leads on to fame and fortune"
Reports show that the farms have been
more than usually productive and thai the
crops have been grown at less figure
than usual. Much of these crops will be
marketed at once, because the producer
needs the money. He will have it in his
power to spend freely, because he has had
but little credit given to him this year,
and is therefore his own master. This
will make trade open early and actively.
These probable buyers are now reading
the advertisements in the MORNING NEWS
and laying out in their minds eye what
they will want and where they will get
what they want when they come to
! Savannah.
The MORNING NEWS wants this immense
I volume Of personal trade to come to Sa-
vannah, and to that end it proposes to de-
vote, through it's Annual Trade Review its
best efforts to convincing its readers that
the merchants of this city arc energetic and
enterprising. Agents Of the MORNING
NEWS are promptly sent over all new terri
tory opened up to Savannah by railroads.
These gentlemen are the duant coltrierS of
the business men Of this city. They carry
the news and the MORNING NEWS to the
people, and thereby assure our new made
friends that we are glad to know them aud
want them to know us.
Every business man aud business enter-
prise should have something to say to the
readers of the MORNING News through its
advertising columns.
This season is especially appropriate for
liberal advertising. The farmers and mer-
chants want to know who has withstood the
damaging effects of the financial Cyclone.
An advertisement will show them who is
alive. In the absence of an advertisement
it may be supposed that the missing firm is
dead.
The Annual Trade Review, to be issued
about Sept 1, will contain the usual
history of the trade Of the city during the
business year. 1t Is proposed to send copy
of the paper to every subscriber to the
WEEKLY News. as well as to the readers
of the DAILY MORNING NEWS.
Those wanting advertising space in the
Trade Review can obtain information at the
office or il advertisers desire a representa-
tive of the MORNING News will call on
