SOUTHERN HEADocARTERs RE-
MOVED FROM SAVANNAH
81
TO BRUNSWICK.
Steel Company viii Ship
Supplies to Five States Through
This Port-Means Big Thing For
This, City,

The Pittsburg Steel Company on
Yesterday opened branch in. this
city, which means that hereafter all
supplies furnished by this great COM
pany in five states in the south will
be shipped through this port. In
other words Brunswick has been
made the distributing point for these
five states, and approximately 10000
tons of fence, wire, staples and nails
will be shipped to this city and from
here to various cities each year.
Heretofore the southern distribut.
ing point has been Savannah, but
after making an investigation into
the advantages offered by Brunswick,
the company, without any previous
announcement, changed the headQuar-
ters yesterday, and within few days
the force which has been in Savannah
will remove to Brunswick and hence
forth all supplies will be shipped to
this city instead of Savannah and will
be distributed from here
Several weeks ago A. r. Kennedy,
traffic manager of the company, with
headquarters at Pittsburg, visited
Brunswick with view of establish
ing branch in this city. He spent
few days here looking into the
shipping facilities of the port and re-
turned to Pittsburg without making
any announcement as to whether or
not the change from Savannah to
Brunswick would be made. Sunday
he arrived in the city again and an
nounced that his company had decid-
ed to remove the branch from Savan-
nah to Brunswick A contract was
closed for warehouse accommodations
and the first shipment of goods manu-
factured by the company will arrive
in the city within few days. All
shipments will be made via the
Clyde Line and will be shipped out
from Brunswick over the different
railroads.
The Pittsburg Steel company is one
of the largest manufacturers of wire
fence, staples, nails, ETC., in the coun.
try and the company does an enor-
nous business throughout the south.
There will move through Sanavvah
this week orders which have already
been placed for so cars loads of ma
terial, and after these orders are sup
piled all future orders will be filled
from this city.
In this connection the Clyde Line
deserves to be complimented for the
work that company did in working to
secure the branch for Brunswick. It
was mostly due to the efforts made
by the company that Brunswick took
this great business away from Sa-
vannah.
The local branch will be directly
under Thos. Davis, southern sales
manager, with headquarters in At
1anta.
