TIE CkWNiNC NJ A BETTER
DAY FOR BRUNSWICK.


the Brunswick Advancement associa-
ton is tie dawning of a day long
hoped for by brunswick people of all
kinds and conditions, some Of whom
nave passed away, others, many 9th.
ers Of whom are still living, but to
nurture that hOpe-that some day
these people of Brunswick would
they must do for themselves, what
they have been trying for years to
force others to come and do--build
their city,
The Master Palmer touched richly
upon his wealth of natural advan-
tages when He built Brunswick-He
reckoned with the very elements and
IN the lea Of almost a peninsular He
fashioned spot of land better adapt
ed for great port purposes than is
| Liverpool or Boston or New York!
Hers is an harbor land-locked by the
very hand of nature, and yet so near
the open sea that a real good 16-inch
gun could throw a cartridge from her
main street into mid-ocean. From
geographical point of view Bruins
wick is natural distributing point
Tor both export and import freights
being hundreds of miles nearer the
great islands to the south of us, in
Guiding Panama, than is any other
port city on el.ler Of ;he coasts, AL
Of which is day ty day ready ana
willing to DO an enormous business
with us. Her diverging raIlroads
make the distribution of freights for
interior sections an easy matter,
while her climatic, water school and
aealth conditions are ideal.
But with all of these conditions she
has not grown as she should have
done, and could have done, for the
one reason, that her people have,
year in and year out, been swinging
10 q delusiye phantom Of an idea and
a hope that some day foreign capital
and foreign industries would come
on their own motion and without
any aid or inducements and build
their city for them.
At last, however, they have caught
the inspiration, they have come to
understand, as other cities have long
understood. that this capital and
these people are not coming to a
town unless that town gets busy and
shows in dollars and iii energy and
interest that they are wanted! No
live, progressive moneyed concern
is coming to city where the people
have not broad-minded progress
enough to get together ana maze
some effort for them. in the way of
furnishing sites, securing tax eXemp-
tons and in many other ways illus
trating a live and a growing town.
| But it has come-the very flower
of Brunswicks business population
! held a meeting at the Oglethorpe ho-
tel on Wednesday night and formed
, the Brunswick - arcement associa
ton, the purpose OF which is to pro.
mote new industries, new factor s
and new business houses generally.
Real enthusiasm marked the meeting
and when stock subscriptions were
called for. every man present sub
scribed literally.
This new concern, charter for
| which will appear in The News in
the morning, has for its sole purpose
the locating of industries in Bruins
wick 1t hopes to have at all times
about $4,000 of treasury capital on
hand and where manufacturing con-
Germs can he located, the policy OF
the company will be to provide a site
for ii and secure other concessions
generally granted in other tiles.
The News commends most heartily
! tots new movement and to our way
! of thinking it is the best one ever
inaugurated in Brunswick and we urge
upon the people of Brmsv .ck--peo-
pie to whom we have so often appeal
ed IL vain, 10 cooperate with this
! new association, which is organic 1
along broad and progressive lines.
Take stock in ii to the extent Of
your ability and evedy one has some
ability so to do. Rememfe err that Al
money does not come to You and to
your ability and every one has some
tion of new industries in Brunswick
will aid all of us, that n0 one inter-
est will get the monopoly in th3 way
of benefits. 1t is the one reel II g
