Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-08-31
The Phenix Warehouse Co.


The splendid new stone ware
house nearing completion is the
third warehouse built by this
concern, which has done more
for Fitzgerald's cotton market
than every other man and busi-
ness house in the city. Four
seasons ago, when the originators
and organizers of the Phenix
Company started in the ware
house and cotton business, Fitz-
gerald was practically without,
cotton market.
r. A. Wilson and J. E. Mercer
went into the market and at the
same time began the erection of
the present large warehouse of
the Phenix Grocery Co. At that
time the few scattering bales of
cotton coming to Fitzgerald were
bought by the merchants prin-
cipally on account. Wilson and
Mercer induced the first export
buyer, Mr.. E. E. Bailey to locate
in Fitzgerald and gave him free
Office rent at their warehouse.
Since that time the market has
grown in importance and the buy
ers have multiplied until now we
have one of the best markets
in the state, with a factory and
compress to stimulate the prices
above the average. Wilson and
Mercer contributed a large share
to both of these enterprises and
the Phenix Co. now owns more
than it's ratab1e share of COM
press stock. Being crowded out
of the first warehouse by the gro
Gerry company they built 40
foot warehouse along the railroad
track, fronting Grant street,
which is being used for storage
purposes and guano to such
an extent that a third warehouse
became necessary, and the large
stone building between the
grocery building and the Renard
block is the result. This build
ing will be ready for occupancy
by the last of this week, and we
trust will receive a liberal patro-
mage from those who appreciate
our efforts in behalf. of Fitz-
gera1d's cotton market, for which
we have done much more than
any other man or set of men.
When our scales are reset in
the new building they will again
be tested by the ordinary and
will be presided over by sworn
weigher.
We will extend every possible
accommodation to our patrons
and will undertake to see that
they get the highest price for
their cotton.
