THAT FLORIDA TRIP.

The motorcade' of Brunswick BUSH

great interest. and from present indi-
cations twenty to twenty-five cars will
leave Brunswick on the morning OF
October oath filed with Brunswick
boosters and their wives, for trip
through the most progressive and rap
idly developing sections OF Florida.
1t has been determined by the COM
mittee in charge that Brunswick men
will, be permitted and expected to take
their ladies with them.
An of the Boards Of TrBde or gham-

expressed their delight at our com
ing, and have assured us of warm
welcome and a profitable time.
Tampa Is so insistent on the Bruins

has been decided to make hurried
trip to Tampa, but in so doing 1t VIII
not lengthen the time that we expect
20 be away from Brunswick.
Arrangements have already been
made whereby we can secure rooms
and baths, including three meals, for
$500 day. Hence this expense will
aggregate $500 per person and leave
$500 lee way for gasoline, oil, etc.
for each person occupying a seat in
each car, making the trip to cost ap'
oroximateIy $4,000 per person. and not
yer $4,000 at the most. II Is under
stood that each man or lady occupying
seat In any car will pay their pro-
rata norton of the expense incident
to the running of that car by the own
er. In other words. II could not be
expected that Brunswick citizen

kick has taken her sister
cities into her confidence
ank and engaging spirit
egard to matter which
rs a great deal to her future
development.
For reasons of economy, it ap-
pears, the United States Shipping
Board as controlling owner of the
steamship line between Bruins
wick and New York is about to
~ eliminate Brunswick S port of
call because Brunswick's trade is
not as much as the Board re-
quires.
Obviously, Brunswick's prob
lens in such circumstances is to
build up her trade, and with that
object her civic bodies have sent
a delegation to confer with civic
bodies in Georgia cities to enlist
their cooperation.
1t is gratifying to note that At
lanta's civic bodies at meetings
this week have pledged their
whole-hearted support to Bruins
wick's campaign. with the result
that a substantial volume of ton
mage is likely to be routed by At
lanta shippers through thta port.
As Brunswick points out, her
facilities for prompt handling of
tonnage from eastern ports to
Georgia interior cities are equal
to the best ON the South Atlantic
seaboard. Her steamer schedules
are convenient and regular, her
railroad lines reach the principal
distributing centers Of the inter
ior, and her harbor and dock facil-
tiles are fully adequate for the
present and the future.
Georgia has two ports of prime
Importance, Savannah and Bruins
wick. The former is fortunately
not inFa position where she must
conduct campaign to preserve
her steamer schedules. Brunswick
is entitled to every consideration
in this important matter and the
self-reliant manner in which she
has gone about it is highly CON-
mendable.
