The commercial showing OF Savannah
for 1870 viii eclipse all previous records
In the citys history. and will probably
be equaled by few other cities 90 the
country. Through a general broadening
OF business. the aggregate figures repre-
sentlng the years operations are 80 Ear
in excess Of previous years as to surprise
even those who ordinarily keep IN close
touch with such matters.
That the bank cloarings for the year
will show an increase Of nearly tios ocoooo
over 1899 IS enough 10 stir the pride Of
every business man. The strides Swan

No better assurance 81 a continued i'm

that the year has witnessed greatly en-
larged transportation facilities by which
Savannah is brought IN closer touch with
the producing country. and Will, there

railroads have had time 20 thoroughly
work up business In the territory they
penetrate. Among these roads may
be mentioned the Seeboari Air

the railroads increase tho city's foreign
commerce. and In turn create a demand
for tonnage which is being satisfied as
rapidly as che need for more vessels be-

anticipate a development OF stupendous
proportions during the next few years.
