MEN WHO LEAD IN TRADE.
Men Who Believe i'm Savannah and
People.
Who Have Built Cu and Made the Great Trade
Methods Honest Transactions Have Brought Wealth
-SYannahS Commercial Wealth Due Their ENTERPRISE

The Morning News goes out to Its
readers to-day filed with facts about Sa-
vannah interesting to ever business man.
1t speaks for itself as regards business
patronage Nearly every important in
terest Is represented.
The year just ended has been a fairly
satsfacto one While the volume of
trade has not been so large the mer-
chants have, almost without exception,
done a profitable business. Savannah's
business men, Its merchants, bankers and
manufacturers do business on sound
methods. The speculative element finds
little countenance. Their rules Of bust
ness are simple and safe and the bankers
are in close touch with the people. As
result there has been no extensive CONNER
cial failure here for many years. While
new houses and firms are established old
ones remain, the growth being natural
and entirely without relapses or reaction.
The commercial strength Of Savannah is
everywhere recognized. The aggregate OF
its wealth is great No city of its size
in the country can boast of greater wealth.
This is due to commercial conservatism,
which. while every opportunity for lie
climate investment of profitable extern
sion of trade is recognized, forbids over
trading and speculation.
Savannah's natural advantages are too
well-known to need pointing out. While
It is essentially a commercial city there
is enough manufacturing here to give that
life and activity which manufacturing
nf hn % rUi
condition of trade, the manufacturers
and dealers of the city have gone ahead
with their enterprises, charging here and
extending their trade territory until their
products are in all parts Of the south. The
influences of the financial stringency have
not hindered the enlargement of Savan-
nah's Industries, for there has been no
lack of home money for all legitimate pur-
poses. The people have faith in the sta
bility of their Institutions and in their
trade supremacy. Business men having
this faith have gone ahead with their en-
terprises and have succeeded. They be-
lieve in Savannah because it brings wealth
and prosperity to them.
The merchants who advertise in this
issue of the Morning News are examples
of Savannah's business men. They are
the men who have built up the city ana
made 1t the great trade center it is, both
for the retail and wholesale and jobblng
trade.
The firms found below may be consid-
cred representatives, both in ability and
probity, in the conduct of their business,
and in forethought and public spirit IN
