BIG NAVAL STORES TRUST WILL
NOT DECREASE SHIPMENTS
FROM THIS PORT.
TRADE OF SOUTH GEORGIA
1t Will Now Come to Brunswick In
stead of Savannah as Three Big
Companies Leave That
Port
Port

The recent naval stores combine, into
which six or seven of the largest naval
stores firms in Georgia and Florida
have entered, seems to have been
good move for Brunswick, rather than
to be the cause of a reduction in our
naval stores receipts.
One OF the best posted men in
Brunswick on naval stores affairs
was seen by a representative of The
News yesterday, and to him he de-
monstrated plainly now Brunswick
Will be benefited by the combine
You see, said this gentleman, The
Downing Company unlike the others
who are in the combine, will not lose
its identity in Brunswick. but will
continue to 10 business here as us
ual The companies who nave enter
ed the combine in Savannah will leave
that port altogether The cause OF
tns naval stores combine is well
known. 1t was done simply because
the rate to Jacksonville and Fernan-
dina on rosin and turpenune is con
siderably less than it is to the two
Georgia ports and the Brunswick and
Savannah companies were almost com
PEELED to enter the merger to get the
benefit of these cheaper rates"
Now continued this gentleman
while a majority Of the turpentine
operators are located in rlorlda, there
are nevertheless a great many in
South Georgia. For these operators
tne rate to Brunswick and Savannah
is cheaper than it is to Jacksonville
and Feruandina and they will natural
ly ship to the port that offers the low
est rates.
Savannah loses three of it's largest
companies, while Brunswick loses
none therefore, these Georgia opera
tors who have been shipping to Sa-
yannah VIII hereafter sap to Bruns-
wick and our naval stores receipts
will, | believe, increase instead of de-
crease by the combine.
You know Major Downing is a
pretty shrewd business man, and you
have noticed that mis- company is the
only one that was given the privilege
Of continuing business at the same
place and was not required 20 go into
liquidation. Major Downing had this
done with the sole purpose Oh handl-
ing the naval stores Of the South Geor
gia operators, and ne has made very
wise move
Tne facts stated by this gentleman
are very PLAUSIBLE when taken into
consideration AS he stated, there
are number OF operators in South
Georgia who are going to ship their
naval stores to the nearest shipping
point and with three big Savannah
companies entirely out of business at
tnat port, Brunswick will naturally
receive these goods.
At any rate, it seems that our city
mas Jared better than Savannah,
Tampa and Pensacola, the otner cities
who have entered the combine as the
firms from these ports will all go into
| liquidation.
