THE TRADE OF A YEAR.
MORNING NEWS TRADE REVIEW
WILL PRESENT IT TO THE
PUBLIC.

Within a few days the Morning News
will present to the public it's annual trade
ISSUE which, besides being sent to each
subscriber to the Weekly News and the
Daily Morning News, will be distributed
widely by merchants and business people
generally throughout the section tributary
to Savannah.
The business year, which is just now he
ing brought to close, has been a remark
able one in many respects, for while not
in itself a prosperous season because of an
unsettled political situation, during the
time the conditions were developing which
form the basis of the present growing
prosperity of the farmer and consequently
also of the merchant. In Savannah, a
city and a port which is never violently
disturbed and scarcely perceptibly agitat-
ed by adverse business conditions else
where, the year has been a remarkable
one in many respects, and it has witness
ed several important business changes.
Particularly important among these are
the Ocean Steamship Companys change
in its service by which Savannah is given
five steamers a week to New York, the or
ganzation of a new company for export
ing cotton and naval stores to foreign
countries, and the establishment of several
new industries.
The Morning News trade issue will pre-
sent in complete, succinct and attractive
form Savannah's complete business rec
ord for the year, comparing it, where
comparisons can be made, with that of
former years, and will give full account
Of every feature of commercial and indus
trial progress 1t will be a magazine of
the years business in every line; there
fore, it will be of extraordinary interest
to every business man from the corner
shop keeper to the large wholesale mer-
chant, and from the ferryman to the Off
Gals of the largest transportation com
panies.
Presenting these advantages, as an ad-
vertising medium, it cannot fail to benefit
as widely as it will interest, in every
| branch of business and trade. With COM
mercial prosperity at the doors of the port
every merchant from the very smallest
on up the scale expects to make the most
of the situation and receive his share of
the benefit which comes to all with the
prosperity of the farmer. The very coun-
try in which the Morning News circulates
and into which the trade issue will go, is
that to which Savannah merchants lool,
for their business. and with such a sea-
son as is now before them it is that to
which they will look for increased bust
ness To whom does this business go and
to whom will it go? The answer is plain
to the man who is not afraid of printers

Thousands of buyers throughout the ter
| rltory covered by the four large railroad
systems entering the city look to the
Morning News for information concerning
Savannah and Savannah merchants. If
is there they learn how and
where their wants can be supplied. be-
cause they know where to write and what
to write for, or wien they are coming
to the city they know where to go. IT is
taken for granted that the merchant who
advertises wants the business. and the
buyer had rather trade with the merchant
who wants the trade than with one who
is indifferent. Advertisements in the trade
issue will reach thousands of readers of
the Daily and Weekly News in an ar
tractive shape and they will be inserted
at a cost not exceeding the price Of space
