Some Of
Savannah'S
Giants.
Their Great, Good Work
in Making One Of the
Foremost Cities Of
the United States.

Savannah is more prosperous to-day
than she has ever been. It is a larger
city and a better city. Merchants are
doing a bigger business and a safer
business. Time was. a year or two
ago, when it was a question with them
how little we can sell"--now it is
how much we can SELL" Prices are
about back to where there is money
in business. During the last year sew
eral good staying, paying, enterprises
have opened up. Since the trade issue
appeared a year ago a box factory has
established itself in Savannah. 1t is
succeeding. The thousands of dollars
sent away annually by Savannah man
ufacturers is now kept at home.
Several more manufactures are doing
business in Savannah than were here
a year aog. New structures have TAX
en- the place of old ones and they are
all tenanted. Many of the business
houses which have been in existence
the last quarter of a century and some
their stocks. Broughton street from
one end to the other presents a lively
appearance. The street never knew so
many f1ourishing retail houses. The
steady increase in Savannah's popula-
ito makes the demand for these new
concerns possible and they will con-
tinue to prosper because Savannah is
too large to stop. She can't stand still.
She can't retrograde.
The continued and prolonged work on
the Seaboard Air Line Railway ternli-
mails, the Union Depot and other public
and private enterprises and work have
given employment to scores of people,
and they are Savannahians.
Altogether it has been a prosperous
year and Savannah is a larger ard

The prices of Florida high grade
phosphate rock during 19OO-l9Ol fell off
about so cents to $1.O0 per ton as conf
pared with the prices of the previous
year. This was due to various rea
sons. among which was the large pro-
duction in Florida and the increased
production of Algerian, Christmas
Island and other phosphates.
The total shipments of this class Of
phosphate from Florida. during 1900
were approximately $4,000 tons. or a
decrease of about 10000 to 100000 tons
from those of 1899 Out of some eighty
plants in Florida, a little less than
half are now working, some being
closed down for repairs and other rea-
sons, most of them. however, being
closed on account OF the depressed con-
dition of the market. Several new
plants are now going up and an inn
provement in business is eagerly looked
for.

SOUTHERN BANK OF THE STATE or

The Southern Bank of the State of
Georgia is situated in Savannah. 1t is
the largest and most successful bank

of the strongest financial establish

organization in 1870 this bank has had
most phenomenal success. Although
it has paid annually never less than 2
per cent. dividends on it's capital stock
