GREAT FUTURE IS
IN Store FOR US
FRANK r. CLARK, AUGUSTA CON
TRACTOR WHO PUT DOWN LO-
CAL PAVING, is HERE.

Frank R. Clark. of Augusta, head
of the Georgia Vitrified Brick and
Clay company is spending few days
in the city and is being cordially greet
I'd by his Brunswick friends. It will
he recalled that it was Mr., Clark's
company that put down the first
brick street paving in Brunswick and
it ought to be some satisfaction to
him to return to Brunswick nine or
ten years later and find his worlD still
standing the test of time and still
in service as good as when it was
originally put down.
Mr.. Clark paid the News an appre-
ciated visit yesterday and he talked
very interestingly of the Brunswick
situation as it appears to him today.
He thinks the tide has finally turned
that in the end will sweep this splen-
did seaport into the very front rank
Of great ports in the south. He was
pleased he said at the era of devel.
opment now going on here and he
pointed out the fact that the coming
cf the great Atlantic Refining com.
raYy to Brunswick meant that thir
town was on the map and that other
great manufacturing concerns would
follow the leading of the Atlantic
and erect immense plants of various
kinds in this city.
The Vitrified Brick and CLAW com.
pany of Augusta is among the larg.
est contracting concerns in the south
and will very likely bid on the new
brunswick contract.
