After explaining something of what
these organizations are doing for their
respective cities in the way of secuT-
ing new industries and increasing their
populations, he said, referring TO the
Savannah orSaniZatiOn: Now as
business men we've got TO go into this
thing and make il a success. Savan-
nah has two staples now, both taken
from the ground, if they fail us what
have we got?
we must make the foundations of
our Chamber of Commerce good and
solid. then we must advertise Savan-
nah. Let every Savannahian consti-
tute himself a committee of one and
talk Savannah, Savannah, nothing but
Savannah and talk it all of the time.
In this Chamber of Commerce we must
have a vital, living force; a vigorous
life that will throb and pulsate, then
we shall begin to grow. I will do all
l can for the city, and l hope every
body else will do the same
In Praise of savannah.
Col. Estill after having a motion pass
ed placing Mr.. Adler at the head of
the committee to secure the charter
and bylaws, said, referring to the ad-
vertising of Savannah: "All that the
people have to do is to tell the truth,
TO say that Savannah is the best place
in the world, say that it has the best
water, the best climate and the best
people and we'll soon have a better
town. / think it's the best place in
the world; some of its people I dis
agree with and some of them disagree
with me, but the towns all right.
can't see a handsomer town than Sa-
vannah and I'm not looking for one
We've got the organization started to-
night that will do something for this
city, but we don't want any one man
to run it: were not looking for any
L am"
Later, referring to what Mr.. Foster
had said about the industries and new
buildings of other cities, Col. Estill
said: Were going to have a marine
hospital soon that will cost some $780,
900. then Capt. Blum is going to put
up sky-scraper and Mr.. Myers is
preparing to put up another. We've
got a little grease factory that turns
out 5000 pounds of lard day. l don't
think any of the cities mentioned can
show anything like that. Then we've
recently built a new town across the
river that's one of the biggest things
of its kind.
Five years of hard work will give
Mr.. Herman Myers, who followed Col
Estill, but what we need now is more
small industries. 1t is true we may
lose some naval stores, but our cotton
receipts are growing larger. All We
want is to exert some energy, and the
town will grow and prosper"
