and will illustrate to the outside world
what the city has done and is prepared
to do in the way of trade and commerce.
1t is in such times as these that those
who are dependent on trade of the city
should endeavor to distract the attention
Of buyers from the political disturbances
Of the day. by the free use of that never
falling stimulant, printers ink" The
world goes on just as usual, people must
do business. Confidence is all that is re-
quired to bring money into circulation.
Judicious and persistent advertising gives
confidence to buyers. The business man
who puts on a bold front and keeps a
going in spite of apparently adverse
times, succeeds when he who waits for
better days sees his business die a slow
death. 1t is with communities as with
men. Savannah has never really had
what are known as hard times, for the
reason that her people as a rule never
cease in their efforts to secure trade in
every legitimate way.
There is a good business season before
the merchants of Savannah. The crons
of the four states. Georgia, Florida, South
Carolina and Alabama, with and for
which Savannah does the largest part
of her business, are good, and the people

Central, the Georgia and Alabama, the
Florida Central and Peninsular and the
Charleston and Savannah railroads are
doing their utmost to bring trade and

better facilities. These lines spread over
an immense territory, which is increasing
in population and wealth every day. These

News for information concerning Sayan-
nah, and when they read.an advertise
ment in the columns of their favorite
newspaper, they consider it an invitation
to buy.
The intelligent buyer of this age thinks.
very justly. that the man who does not
have an advertisement in the newspaper
does not want business; that he has
either made enough money and does not
wish to be bothered with trade, or he
has such poor stock that he is ashamed
to invite any one to see it.
The Morning News would like ia have
the advertisers of Savannah give a prac-
teal demonstration to the world, by lib
eral advertising, that they do not pro-
pose to let their city lose any ground
during the season of 1ss6-97.
Advertisers receive the advantage Of

ceeding the price of space in either the
