TENDENT OF CLYDE AND

Former WeI-known Brunswickian is

main in Jacksonville.

Capt. w. M. Tupper, for many years
the local agent of the Mallory and
Clyde steamship lines in Brunswick,
but who has been agent of the lat
ter line III Jacksonville for the past
year or more, has just been given a
promotion by that line and he is now
general superintendent Of the Clyde
and Mallory lines. with headquarters
in Jacksonville. Mr.. Tupper's many
Brunswick friends will congratulate
him upon the deserved promotion.
The Jacksonville Times-Union of
Sunday, announcing Captain Tupper's S
promotion, says:
Jacksonville being the logical
headquarters for the southern division
Of the clyde and Mallory steamship
Zines. and the officials of those lines
aDpreciating the fine executive ability
of Capt w. NJ Tupper. who has been
agent of the Clyde Line in this city
for some time. and realizing that he
was TOO valuable a man to leave IN
that position. that gentleman has
peen appointed general superinten-
dent of the Clyde and Mallory steam
ship lines with headquarters in Jack
sonville. In addition to this good
fAs comes the gratifying information
that all supplies for the Boston ships
will hereafter be purchased in jack
sonville. as well as a good proportion
of the supplies for other ships.
"The splendid and constantly IN
creasing business that Jacksonville
has given the Clyde line has warrant
ed the company in making this port
Headquarters for the southern district
and the mere fact of making thlS
change will have a tendency to still
further increase their business.
''Since coming to Jacksonville and
assuming cAarge of the Clyde Line as
agent, Captain Tupper has always
looked to the city's advancement, as
well as that of the company which
he represents. The building OF the
large concrete piers for the Clyde Line
terminals, to be erected at the loot
of Market street, is only one OF the
manv improvements which he has out
iined
Being a thorough seaman, having
sailed the seas around the world as
sailing master, fits Captain Tupper
eminently for the position to which ne
has been appointed. After giving up
the command as owner and master OF
the tug Inca, Captain Tupper located
in Brunswick. afterwards becoming
general agent for the Mallory Steam
shin company's interests at that point
and after that company withdrew from
Georgia territory he was transferred
to Jacksonville.
"The office of general superinten-
dent at Jacksonville will have super
vision over the agencies of the Clyde
and Mallory lines at Charleston jack
sonville. Tampa, Key West, Mobile
Galveston. and other southern ports
at which these ships may touch, in
ciuding the Boston steamers and river
lines
H. G.. White, who has been the efil-
cient chief clerk of the Clyde Line
agency at Jacksonville, has been Sc
lected for the appointment as agent
to succeed Captain Tupper and this
appointment will nc doubt meet with
the hearty approval of the patrons OF
that line. as Mr. White has made
many friends for the company by his
courteous manner and business ab1f
