WILMINGTON I y
@ GREATER DAYS

During the Thriving Thirties, especially in the latter
years Of the decade, Wilmington has made a great bid for
prosperity, advancement and growth in the fields of manu-
featuring, construction, distribution, finance and trans
portation.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-02-11

Grapn1cally a Few OF these ao-
vancements are portrayed here.

ed for shipment to interior North
Carolina at one Of the large petro-
leum distribution plants here.
A portion Of the new river road
sponsored by Wilmington Exchange
club which runs south from the oil
terminals at Sunset Park is shown
in the next photo. This road has
opened great new indus, ial sites
and is being tied in with Front
street to make 1t an integral part
Of the city's transportation system.

One of the greatest expansions in
any business in Wilmington has
been experienced by the Cape Fear
terminal company. With storage
capacity Of 10000, 900 gallons Of
gasoline, the terminals are the larg-
est on the Atlantic seaboard. At
lower right one tanker discharges
while two more wait in the stream
for an opportunity to get to the
mooring dolphins.
These are only a few of the many
advances which have been made
during the decade which, despite
depression at it's beginning, was, on
a whole, a prosperous one for Will
mington. The final year of the de-
cade, 1889, was a good one for
business in all fields and prospects
for 1910 look better than those for
the year just past.
And now Wilmington looks a
new decade in the face -. a new
decade in which It can continue it's
growth and expansion which have
Increased in rapidity in the past
several years. Like 1890, the year
1910 looks good for business but
there is this vital difference: In
1880 the nation as a whole was in
the grip of a severe depression. In
1910 it is optimistically looking for
ward to better times and better
business.
Financial institutions, filled with
money which they are ready to
loan for good business ventures, Of
fer an avenue Of financing unpa-
ralleled in the history of the ma
ton. The banks are in the best
condition they have ever been and
with business on the uprise they
are ready to go.
Sc, from the Thriving Thirties
Wilmington gives promise Of emerg-
ing into the Fabulous Forties, with
its business feet on solid ground, its
business mind cleared after ccnfu-
sion and ready to go forward and
upward to new and better days.

USING JAP PORTS

Reports have recently reached
Australia that German raiders are
using Japanese ports, but this was
the first recorded instance Of an
attack by a ship operating under
the japanese emblem.
The island of Nauru is admin
istered under a joint mandate Of
Britain, Australia and New Zea-
land. 1t covers about eight and
one-half square miles and is situ-
ated in the South Pacific Ocean
about 1,500 miles northeast OF
Australia and 600 miles northeast
of the Solomon Islands.
Famed for its phosphate de-
posits, it was annexed by Ger
many in 1888 and surrendered to
the Australian warship Melbourne
in 1914 at the start of the World
War.
(The fact the raider carried
Japanese colors does not neces-
sarily mean it was a Japanese
ship. During he World War
the famous German raider En-
den and other raiders frequently
sought to CO ceal their identity
by flying the flags of other ma
tiOnS.)
