rates from those cities to Whining

goods an overall saving for exam.
pie:
In the case Of shipper to to-
bacco commodity rate to Norfolk,
per 100 pounds is IS cents, and into
Wilmington IS cents.
Another specific example of
commodity rates is a shipper Of
textile goods by manufacturer
from Kannapolis. This shipper
pointed out his Norfolk rate of SO
IL cents as compared with a rate
into Wilmington of 10 IL cents. On
his estimated tonnage for ship
ments, during a recent 12-month
period to the Pacific coast, had he
been able to ship via Wilmington,
his savings would have been over
$4,000. Another North Carolina
textile manufacturer, using the
Wilmington port, reported savings
of from 10 cents to 20 cents per
100 pounds, which savings ag-
gregated $4,000 on an estimated
5,178 tons.
Raleigh, Greensboro and Char
lotte are excellent examples of
cities which can take advantage
Of the savings under existing first
class rates with savings of 10. 10
and 20 per cent respectively. These
towns are primarily distribution
centers for the entire state of
North Carolina with regards to au-
tomobiles, radios, and refrigera-
tors.
High Point, largest furniture
manufacturing center in the coun-
try, can take direct advantage Of
both rates using the first class rate
for export and the commodity rate
for raw materials, such as maho-
gany, coming to their plants.
In addition, Wilmington is stu
ated within an extensive retail
trading zone with year around
balanced buying power of such
commodities as tobacco, straw
berries, livestock, bulbs, flower
and truck crops, manufacturing,
shipbuilding, transportation, lurn-
Der, petroleum and other products
all Of which will benefit directly
in the opening of Wilmington as an
major port city.

Using the ports Of Wilmington

to which Wilmington has cheaper
freight rates, the Southern, Central

under the same import-export
rates that are generally applicable

KEY TO GROWTH
Substantial Saving. Pos.
sible For Bulk Of States
Manufacturers
BY JACK COWIE
(Star-News Staff Writer)

Today, with Wilmington agrees
sively planning a future designed
to carry the city and its imme-
date environs to a dominent posi-
ton in the southeastern sector OF
the United States, any survey OF
the city's potential as trade and
industrial area inevitably must be-
gin with the one tremendous ad-
vantage the community possesses
over all other cities in North Caro-
lima the port.
The port is here, and its develop
ment will come-and come on a scale
dwarfing anything that has been
done yet. That development is in
evitable, the progressive-mlnded
element of the city is convinced.
The key to the entire port pro-
gram, hence the key to the city s
future growth, lies with the SUBJ
stantial advantage Wilmington en-
Joys in it's land freight rates as
compared with its main rival port
cities-Norfolk on the north, and
Charleston on the south.
An accompanying map, prepared
from data furnished by the Will
mington Port commission and the
Wilmington Port-Traffic assocla.
ton, clearly illustrated the land
freight advantage this city's port
enjoys over it's rivals-and illus
trates with forceful clarity this
saliant fact: Wilmington should be
the principal port for the vast in
dustrial empire building in North
Cardinals rich Piedmont district.
Land freight rate advantages
Wilmington enjoys. The develop.
ment OF the port, logically must
come next.
This development, in turn, is de-
pendent upon the construction OF
terminal facilities, dredging OF the
Cape Fear river channel to IS feet,
the continued operation Of che
North Carolina Shipbuilding COM
pany and a large, permanent dry
dock. Given these developments,
the question Of steamship COM
panies using the port is a fore
| gone conclusion.
wilmington is nearer 80 percent
of North Cardinals industrial ano
AGRICULTURAL development than any
other port from Charleston, S. G..
to Norfolk, Va.
By virtue Of these mileage ad
vantages the shipper will be abl'
TO enjoy lower inland freight cos
from this area than would be hi
by shipping into the ports Of othel
states.
Substantial Saving
These rates represent savings o
from four to 81 percent to the ship
per in land to water hauling.
A brief sketch Of the presen
Wilmington port shows its location
on the Cape Fear river, 30 mile
from the ocean. 1t is accessible b!
