Country Surroundings.
| Another reason why Brunswick is a safe
clace to invest capital in addition TO the
| resources already enumerated, is the 1act
I that it is surrounded by vast acres OF rlch
and productive soil rourished by beautiful
| streams and yielding bountifully of fruits,
| Vegetables grains. cotton, etc. the rlch

The City's Growth.
| If the past is any criterion by which the
future may be judged. Brunswick is dcs-
tined TO become one of the most import
cities in Georgia, and the principal sea-
port city Of the South Atlantic coast.
| The people who have located here nave
had confidence in the city's future, and
that confidence has been fully sustained by
conditions and results Conservative men
have invested thousands in Brunswick real
estate and thousands more in improving it,
| and the large sums invested are an assur-
ance of the bright and prosperous future
hat the city is destined to enjoy.
Ground for building.
One of the great advantages that this
city possesses is in the beautiful stretches
of country that surround it. There is
plenty of room upon which to build dwell
ngs and business houses. shops and facto-
ries and no city in the state can offer SUCH
excellent building sites or so many other
| advantages as Brunswick.
Progressive People.
Brunswick is inhabited by a progressive
people No statement could be more tersely
| construed, for the writer sees here the
-, | true home of a progressive people; those
that love the welfare of the city above all
| otlo md in re hPh9lf
willing to sacrifice personal comfort and
ease to engage in projects for the advance
ment of the interests of city and state.
While the people are progressive, 1t IS
| not for Brunswick alone, but they are OF
a generous disposition. and if that agrees
sve spirit that enables them to realize that
/, any good done for the state is as much
a work of theirs as it is of the city. They
appreciate the fact that they are one of the
component factors that go to make the
state in its entirety.
, There is no written motto or provision
that is brought to bear on the people, but
only the inherent desire for advancement,
and actuated by the old adage that moth
$ ing succeeds like success In no city are
found the same proportion of aggressive
I progressive people as here. While there
are some of the old school Silurian ana
moss-back citizens they are RELOCATED SO
far to the rear that in the grand march of
4 affairs. they seldom turn a trump.
The Growth of BrunsVvick.
IN the past ten years has been steady,
and its progress of a substantial and per-
manent nature Its present growth has
been the result of the systematic and ener-
I getic use of the advantages which nature
! has bestowed so bountifully, coupled with
/ the energy of enthusiasm and determine
ton
To cite a complete list of the many at
tractive features of the city would involve
many hours of labor. and these few are
r given that a partial insight to the Bruins
!, wick of today may be obtained by those
living abroad.
AS a place of residence, it offers all the
/ advantages of health. climate, laws,
schools, churches, morality, society, public
convenience and of business.
The citizens are law-abiding and peace
full, and are willing and ready to encourage
in a substantial way any worthy enterprise
which Is backed by money and men OF
character and experience. AS a place of
trade Brunswick commends itself most
i forclbly to the inhabitants of the surround
ing country. 1t offers a good market for
> cotton, corn, fruit and other staples. The
merchants sell their goods at prices that
defy competition. 1t pays the farmer to
, | dispose of his products and buy goods IN
Brunswick because it is the best market.
1t pays to settle in Brunswick, because of
its healthfulness educational facilities and
other advantages
Sitting like queen upon her throne
commanding the commerce of the garden
spot of Geo gia. brunswick invites capital,
merchants and all who theorize on local
l husbandry to come see and compare its
= adv ahtages with those of it's more preten-
tious sister cities of the south.
