AS A GROWING SEAPORT
American Sugar Refining Company
Will Extend Business

Gulfport, Miss, March 2i-(Special)
Another big feather in Gulfport's cap is
the development being done by the
American Sugar Refining company in the
harbor. The American Sugar Refining
company is one of the largest concerns
in the United States and the fact that
1t has decided to make use of Gulfport in
it's future operations as an indication of
the growing value of Gulfport as sea-
port.
The company is now engaged in build
ing concrete foundations for two tanks
on the pier. each with a capacity OF $780,
0O1 gallons, to store ''blackstrap" mo-
lasses which will be brought here in
tank steamers from sugar plantations in
Cuba and South American countries. The
site for the tanks was leased from the
Gulf and Ship Island railroad.
The commerce Of the port will be con-
siderably extended by the coming here
OF the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, as their tank steamers bringing
In blackstrap will take away supplies
for the plantations
In these days of strenuous competi-
tion, commerce seeks lines of least re-
sistance. Gulfport's shipping is bound
to grow for the same reasons that have
operated to make 1t the cheapest lum-
Der port on the gulf will hold good as
applied to other commodities.
