one of the successful merchants and
sturdy champion for Berkley's rights
is MIR. Jonathan II. Jacocks. Speaking
with reporter for the Virginian- Pilot
of the difficulties he encountered in
starting q nay, grain and coal trade in
Berkley Mr.. Jacocks said in substance
that he could not bring a car load of
merchandise there ten years ago with
out paying Sc for the privilege.
This bonus was divided between the
Two roads which hauled the car. The
Norfolk and Southern was the only
line entering Berkeley That road got
one-half of the fee. while the road by
which the freight came from the West
got the other half.
That charge was reduced to So and
divided in the same way till about five
years ago when Mr.. Jacocks' represent
tation caused the Norfolk and West
ern Railway Company to abolish its
charge.
there are no extra charges now
Meantime Berkeley had not enjoyed the
distinction of being on the schedule of
tariff rates. The railways did not
quote rates for Berkeley.
That. too, was changed. Now Berk-
ence in railway circles. Merchants can
buy and sell in car load lots with safe
" because they can figure on the BeriS-
ley rates in competition with other
cities.
Coal grain, hay and all other bulky
merchandise can be put down in Berll-

modern business. Every merchant and
manufacturer must study them care
FULLY They may make or break him.
With that knowledge a COMPANY hos
been formed to erect a warehouse at
Fourteenth and Liberty streets. That
Warehouse is equally convenient to the
merchants of Berkeley and to the manu-
facturers of South Norfolk. 1t is still
more accessible to the hundreds of
truckers who wish to ship produce to
the Northern and Western markets.
This warehouse is two-story and
basement brick building 40 by so feet
In size and equally strong and capa-
cious. 1t Is run by stock company.
OF which Mr.. w. w. Tunis is presl-
dent and Mr.. j. G. Duncan is the agent
ana manager. The name of the COM
pany is the Berkeley and South Norfolk
Terminal Company.
The business of this company is to
receive and ship produce and merchan-
disc. to receive freight on storage and
TO give through bills of lading and give
rates OF freight throughout two-thirds
or the United States. Thus, Mr.. Dun
can can quote rates and gives bills OF
lading to all of the great Northern
cities, including Philadelphia, New
york and Boston. and to all OF the
Western cities as far as the Pacific
coast. Merchandise can be shipped by
car load direct to San Francisco or
seattle. and to any OF the intermediate
cities.
The great advantage of the service
OF the Berkley and South Norfolk Ter
minal Company to farmers is that they
can drive their wagons directly from
the field to the railway siding TO I'M
load the product into the cars. There
Is but one handling and 40 expense OF
ferriage.
Among a great lot of potatoes, cab
page. beans. peas and other produce
shipped this summer there were two
refrigerator cars loaded with straw
berries. These can be forwarded the
same day they are picked, so that they
VIII arrive in the chief markets within
twelve or twenty-four hours after they
come from the vines.
The great lumber firms have rail-
way switches running directly TO their
mills. but there are hundreds OF enter
prises which cannot go to that ex-
penSe. 1t is for these that the service
of the Berkeley and South Norfolk Ter
minal service has been established.
There will be an interesting game OF
ball at South Norfolk Park Monday af-
terncon at O'Clock Labor Day. be-
tween lSerkley and Atlantic City. The

ened and will be assisted by several
