THE TRADE REVIEW.
IT WILL BE OF SPECIAL INTEREST
TO BUYERS AND SELLERS.

TO BUYERS AND SELLERS.
Savsnneh's Merchants Must Encour-
age Trade-They Must Tell the Peo-
pie What They Have to Sell and In
terror Merchants Will Find that All
Their Wants Can Be Satisfied in Sa-
, vannah--And the Morning News is
the Medium of Communication.
Does any business man in Savannah need
70 be told Of what has been going on in the
commercial emporium of the South ATTAIN
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
a 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
rank 10 the commercial world. In spite Of
the heavy raids on the banks of the city, and
the large investments of Savannah'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, 8. 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.
or course everybody knows that Savan-
nah is to be the South Atlantic terminus of
the great traDscontinental and interstate
system OF railroads by the incorporation of
the Central railroad into the Richmond
Terminal and Gould's lines of Transports
ton. This all portends good fortune to the
enterprising merchant Savannahs op-
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 that 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 lin 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
volume of personal trade to come to Sa-
vannah, and to that end it proposes to de-
vote, through its Annual Trade Review, its
best efforts to convincing its readers that
the merchants of this city are 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 auant couriers 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.

| dead.
