Some of the Energetic, Wide-Awake Business Concerns Which Have Made Savannah the Most Prosperous City, of the South
SAVANNAH ELECTRIC CO.
The city of Savannah may justly
pride itself on having in The Savfcn
nah Electric Company a public util
ity corporation that renders a service
that will compare favorably with anj
in the entire South. That the com
pany is public spirited in its manage
ment will not be denied. Os all classes
of corporations, none are more open
to public (ensure than public utility
concerns. Public attention is ever
uireeteu at them, ever alert to see
that charier rights and bound are not
overstepped. Regarded in the light
of public servants, the ever awake pub
lie is always Keen to detect misman
agement cf any sort. Considering this,
the record of The Savannah Electric
Company is truly remarkable. ev
corporations of like character in thii.
section have met with less censure or
adverse criticism. The management
is of that liberal minded class of men
who overcome difficulties in the prop
er way. It tyay be stated in all truth
that the People's interests are indeeu
safe as long as the affairs of the com
pany continue to be conducted in the
manner as at present obtains in ref
erence to The Savannah Electric Com
pany. The company is undoubtedly
putting forth its best efforts to give
the city the best possible service and
in return should receive the hearty
support and encouragement of the citi
zens of Savannah. The gentlemen in
whose hands rests the destiny o, this
company are men whose names stand
for everything that is reliable and
public spirited. They have always
shown that they were interested in the
welfare of Savannah. Public spirit of
a high degree and a liberality of view
in matters pertaining to progress have
ever marked the management, in these
circumstances we can but wish for the
Savannah Electric Company a con
tinued era of prosperity and a future
cooperation with it on the part of
others who really have the best in
terests of the city at heart.
THE CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAIL
WAY COMPANY.
It would be difficult to overestimate
the importance of railroads in the tre
mendous development of the resources
of the South that is being witnessed
at the present time. Cities and sec
tions owe their prestige and promi
nence largely to the railroads. In at
tempting to analyze the industrial
progress of Savannah at this time with
respect to her splendid transporta
tion facilities, our chief interest en
ters in The Central Georgia Railway
Company whose main offices are lo
cated in our midst. In away this
company may be regarded as a home
enterprise. It is a company in which
every local Savannahian takes a spe
cial pride. It is the largest employer
of labor in the City of Savannah. _c
tnt,^«f O j. e a su bject of special con
c®r“ t 0 bhe thousands of wage earners
.jJ I .®„® I ty and State. So i, „ ,aa_itfr
r ve are p!e<*„ea'to state that
pany is known to all wage earners
who are in position to know, as a fair
and reasonable employer that puts
forth its best efforts to practice the
policy of the square deal with its Im
mence force of employees, and the
management has always shown a dis
position to treat with the utmost
consideration on matters pertaining to
labor.
The Central of Georgia Railway
Company is doing more than its full
share in the growth and development
of Savannah and this section of the
country. Railroads are popular with
the public so long as they demon
strate that they have the public’s wel
fare principally at heart. The Cen
tral of Georgia has always shown a
due respect for the rights of the pub
lic and has rendered a transportation
service both in the passenger and
freight departments that will compare
favorably with any road in the coun
try. It has also been instrumental to
an incalculable degree in advancing
the commercial and industrial in
terests of Savannah.
SAVANNAH BANK AND TRUST CO.
The City <>f Savannah is exception
ally strong in the number of its finan
cial institutions, and in this respect
it may be stated that there is no fair
er index to the thriving prosperity of
any community than is indicated by
the solidity and prestige of its banks.
A monetary institution that has for
years weathered every adverse con
dition and continued to retain the en
tire confidence of the people of Sa
vannah is the old reliable Savannah
Bank and Trust Company. Few banks
in this section of the South have ob
tained to a larger extent the favor of
business people, and the fact thattne
institution is stronger than ever dem
onstrates how electively it nas inter
woven itself into the business and
commercial life of the city.
This bank transacts a general bank
ing business, discounts commercial pa
per, loans on approved collateral, is
sues letters of credit, and receives the
accounts of banks, firms and indlvl
duals.
The confidence reposed in the insti
tution by its large number of stock
holders and customers has been wide
spread. The accounts of scores of
business men, prominent in the life
of the city for years, are held by this
bank, and it has always been an act
ive factor in the development of this
section.
The flourishing condition of affairs
in connection with the Savannah Bank
and Trust Company is largely due to
the uniform efficiency of the officers
” hose names and services have been
identified with numerous enterprises,
•• hich have contributed much to the
building up of the city.
The Savannah Bank and Trust Com
pany is especially cordial and consid
erate in its attitude toward labor. Its
protection to depositors in the way of
capital stock, surplus and liability o"
rtockholders Is as solid as the Rock
of Gibraltar.
The officers are: Wm. F. McCauley
president; Chas, G. Bell, vice-president
and Samuel L. Clay, cashier. This
bank carries deposits amounting to
51,423,02f1; canltal stock, $028,600; sur
plus and profits, $444,990.

It should be a matter oi special pride
to every citizen of Savannah that we

<G. A. MERCER, JR.
In diluting the attention of the
people (rflßavannah and the surround

sentatives in the real estate field, we
would remiss in our duty
should we fail to include the just*y
prominent and thoroughly trust
worthy firm of G. A. Mercer, Jr., lo

Never before has there been such a
widespread desire on the part oi the
people to put their savings into real
estate where it will be absolutely safe.
Desirable property in any growing
community, such as Savannah, is
constantly rising in value ana has
been prqyen to be the most reliable
form of Investment. We have no hesi

The working man should deal only
witih firms that are known to be strict

that handles only pure and high-grade
goods.
The Neal-Blun Company is a con
cern of this kind.
This concern is a commendame en
terprise and should receive the en
couragement of all loyal citizens who
have the welfare of the city at heart.
We take pleasure in placing it fore
most among the leading firms of Sa
vannah which are worthy of being
classed as friends of labor. They are
extensive dealers in sashes, doors,
blinds, plaster and cement; paints, 0.-s
varnishes, builders’ hardware, mantels

DIXON LUMBER CO.
We can remember staid and success
ful business concerns in our city, but
there are few whose steady growth and
progress has been more pronounced
than the Dixon Lumber Company. They
i are well and widely known as manu
i facturers and dealers in all kinds ot
Southern yellow pine lumber and tim
ber, wholesale dealers in brick, coal
and wood; also groceries, hay, grain
and provisions. This firm has become
immensely popular in a trade terri

large and lucrative business and it is
well that Savannah can boast such a
meritorious home enterprise. The gen
tiemen at the head of this concern
are well known citizens, and business
men and are consistent friends o*
labor.
D. R. THOMAS t SON.
Savannah is the home <>f n nnm
ber of important concerns that involvt
the investment of considerable capi
tai and give employment directly o»
indirectly to a large number of peo
pie. An enterprise of importance such
as D. R. Thomas & Son, located at 301
Germania Bank Building, extensive
dealers in coal, is worthy of commenu
able in this issue not only because of
their fair and reasonable attitude to
ward labor, but also because of the
excellent quality of their products.

known and today occupies a foremost
position among the substantial and
progressive concerns of the city and
State. Our members and friends will

ROUGH ON POOR JOHN.
Chinese Must Not Sprinkle Clothes
Through Their Teeth in Chicago.
John Chinaman, who runs a laun
dry, will have to qtiit sprinkling water
on clothes by blowing it through his
mouth. If he doesn’t, he will run afoul
of the Chicago health department.
Following complaints to the depart
ment that disease has been spread
through this agency, City Health Com
missioner Evans said that criminal ac
tion would follow any continuation of
the practice. Dr. Evans also an
nounced that a thorough examination,
of all Chinese laundries will bv
made to see that they are kept sani
tary. —Philadelphia North American.
Working men are sometimes accused
oi patronizing Chinese laundries. We
believe there are few, if any, that are
guilty of such misconduct in Savan
nah, but if there should be any such,
they should certainly mend their ways.
Aside from the unsanitary feature,
by patronizing a Chink laundry you
are depriving clean American labor of
a chance to earn a living. How can
you consistently ask those employed m
laundries to patronize the other pro
ducts bearing the union label and at
the same time fail to patronize good
American concerns that give employ
ment to Americans and are conducted
in a sanitary manner under favorable
conditions?
Never let it be said that a union
man ever patronizes Chinese laundries
so long as we have in our midst a
single modern, up-to-date establish
ment that treats the public right.
