BRUNSWICK, THE BEAUTIFUL
CITY BY THE SEA.

ure of making a ten days visit to
Brunswick, the beautiful city by the
sea, the latter part of May. We were
so much impressed with the hustling
and bustling activities of the people
in contra-distinetion to what it was
when we made a former visit some
eight years ago, that we unhesitating
ly pronounce Brunswick one of the
coming cities of Georgia. Blessed
Rith the natural facilities of a great
and beautiful harbor, an unexcelled
health record. natural beauty pos
sessed by few cities, it is indeed an
ideal place to live and do business in.
There are already in this city three
shipbuilding plants, and we under
stand that five more have purchased
locations there Besides having one
of the best harbors on the coast and
deriving a large amount of business

impressed with the business actiyi-
ties, but what we were most impress
ed with was her splendid people. A
cosmopolitan population, blended
with the culture and refinement of
the Old South; imbued with that hos
pitality that knows no bounds, and
to our peculiar people,
is endowed with those en-
viable qualities that at once make
her an ideal place to live in and
splendid city to do business in.
We see no reason why this city
that could be made as beautiful as a
dream, with just little added here
and there to the already uneXcelled
natural beauty that God has given
her, should not be made one of the
most popular resorts of the Atlantic
seaboard. With historic ST. Simon
Island Just twelve miles across the
bay and Cumberland a little further,
with stretches of beach that make
them magnificent resorts for surf

If millionaires, make Brunswick pecu-
iarly attractive to ali those who de-
sire to visit the seacoast during that
season when one desires to escape

oppressive atmosphere of the interior,
or the exhilarating effects of the
salt sea breeze.
