Southeastern Yaryan Naval Stores
company.
General Hamilton in Party.
Gen. ]. Kent Hamilton of Toledo,
is one of the most popular members
of the party and is one of the most
distinguished citizens of that splen-
did Ohio city. Among his other ac-
complishments he is a most entertain
ing after-d dinner speaker, and he de-
lighted the assembled guests at the
dinner party last evening with his
eloquence. He was most felicitous IN
his remarks about the trip, and about
his impressions of Brunswick. Out of
consideration for his friends and fell
low travellers he refrained from tell
ing all that happened on the way. 'il
$50 Mr.. Naryan Talks.
Homer T. Yaryan made a very
happy address, and particularly did he
please the Brunswick people present
in prophesying that Brunswick would
be the center of the greatest rosin
and turPentine industry in the world
by reason of the establishment and
further development of the company's
plant in this city.
Toledo and Brunswick.
w. B. Geroe of Toledo made a
very witty and interesting talk. He
thinks that Toledo is the greatest city
on the map, or rather that it was en-
titled to this distinction until Homer
/. Yaryan, who, by the way has been
lnVenting something new every few
months, removed from that city to
make his home in Brunswick. OF
course, Brunswick now has the glory
that formerly attached to Toledo. 1t
was quite evident from the trend of
Mr.. Geroe's remarks that he cannot
bear to live so far away from his old
friend, and therefore We shall soon
count him as zone of u.s."
Local Speakers.
Albert Fendig spoke about the
source of supply for the, Yaryan
plants. He proved by irrefutable gov
ernment statistics that there are
enough pine stumps in the territory
tributary to Brunswick tc supply about
four of these plants for another CEN
tury or so. And if anybody knows,
Mr.. Fendig does, for he has a per-
sonal acquaintance with almost every
pine tree in South Georgia, although
he mas recently "taken to the stump"
Frank Aiken spoke a welcome for
Brunswick, and he was in a very
happy vein, and extended the hospi-
tality of the city to the visitors, and
assured them that they would hear
further from US.
Mr. Lockwood spoke about the de-
tails of the business of the company.
He made a most lucid and convincing
statement.
j. S. Bradley told what he had learn
ed about the turpentine and rosin bus
mess in the short space of three
years. 1t is evident that what he does
not know about the trees, the meth
DDS of operation of the "turpentiners,'
ETC., he makes up in knowledge Of
taking care of the financial end of
the business, and this is not intended
to be any reflection on his informa-
ton about the woods department
either.
