eyes OF the world this week than she
has been for several years. There may
have been sudden news disasters that
caused more interested street and
| highway comments. but this week she
is being quietly presented to the bus
mess world, not as spasmodic news,
but her desirability as place in
| which to live and transact business.
and to bank on for future prosperity.
Roy G, Booker, the polished young
staff correspondent of the Manufac-
turers Record, who is pleasantly re-
membered as having spent a few days
with us, has in this weeks issue of
The Record three splendid articles
showing forth Brunswick's industrial
enterprises, with special articles on
shipbuilding and new process in gaso-
line manufacture. His articles in part
are as follows:
'One of the indications of the gen
eral business revival in Brunswick is
the fact that the plant constructed by
the Brunswick Creosoting company,
and for its own use about two years
ago, has been noted in the Manufactur-
This plant was completed about the
time the European war started, but for

at will be operated now as the
Georgia Creosoting company, which is
a subsidiary company of the American
Creosoting company of Louisville, Ky.
This company has IA other such plants
in various parts of the country The
capitalization of the local company is
$250,000 1t owns Is acres on the
river front here. 1t is what is known
as two-cylinder plant Creosoted
lumber, ties and piling will be the
products of the plant for the present
but later on it will probably add paw
ing blocks.
THE Georgia Rosin Products com
pany, capitalized at $780, 900 is another
of the new industries here, and will
begin operations about the middle of
this month, producing rosin, oil and
pitch from the waste materials from
the local naval stores plant. The ca
pacity of the plant will be $50 barrels
a day.
"The statement that the Yaryan Ma
val Stores company, is to re-establish
its large plant, burned several weeks
ago, has ben noted in the Manufactur-
ers Record. TIE construction of this
plant will materially augment the good
building record that Brunswick is ex-
pected to establish during 1916"
In the matter of the new cheap gas
Oline manufactured by the Yaryan
company, the Record carried some
thing over column Writeup in which
the plans of the company and as much
of their experiments as they would
give out, was exploited at length
Something like half a column was
given to the new shipbuilding enter
prise, of which Captain j. II. Leo is
general manager. In this article Mr..
Booker wrote
"The docks around Brunswick are
cluttered with lumber, which is to be
shipped north as soon as bottoms can
| be had to transport it. It is pointe'
out by loacl authorities that this sit
uation may be relieved not only by the
building of ships to aid in shipping
| the local products, but that the re
quirements of the shipyard in itself
will constitute quite market for lum-
Der produced in this section.
"The stockholders are very conf.
dent that Captain Leo will make a sue
| cess of the project. Aside from his
| seafaring experiences, he has superin-
tended and supervised the construc-
| tion of several ships like the one he is
now building. He had charge of the
construction of the Thelma at Rock
land, Maine. and Of the VIM H. Brad
ley at Millville, N. j., which were
launched within the last decade.
"If the conditions warrant, the local
! company will branch out and not only
begin the construction Of additional
sailing ships at once. but will try its
hand at steam-driyen vessels.
