SAVANNAH'S MERCHANTS.
UGADERS IN THE TRADE OF GEOR
GIA’S METROPOLIS.
business Men Whose Enterprise and
Energy Have Built Up Our Wealth
and Prosperity-Great Inducements
Offered to Merchants of the Interior
—The Immense Stocks From Which
to Buy and Where to Get What is
Wanted.
It is a pleasure to refer to this issue of the
Annual Trade Review of the Mohxi.no
News. It contains the largest array of
business houses aud corporations ever seen
in a Georgia newspaper. Those advertise
ments bear as strong ovidenco of the city’s
growth and prosperity as do the statistics
presented in the report of its mereautile and
financial operations. No other seaport city
in the South can present such evidences of
steady and increasing trade. It is
sot only a busy commercial city,
with immense exports of cotton, naval
Stores, rice and lumber, but it is the centre
of a largo wholesale trade, which supplies a
prosperous constituency. Its manufactures
are also yearly increasing in importance,
and in the near future many articles which
are now brought from abroad will be manu
factured at home. These facts prove that
the business men of Savannah have secured
the confidence of the people of a vast and
enlarging territory, by offering them goods
aud wares at fair price.: But few buyers
now pass through Savannah to.make their
purchase# in other cities, and the number
jruulv growing less, and the city mer
chant who formerly spent the summer
months iVom home finds that to keep up
■with his trade he must be here the whole
year. The old time “dull season” which
was once the drawback to the prosperity of
the active, energetic business men is a thing
of the past. Business may be quiet for a
few days now and then, but a season of
dullness is now unk - own
A GREAT AND GROWING ISDI’STRY—SOUTHERN
MANUFACTURES.
It hss long been customary for every country
merchant throughout our Southern States to
carry upon his shelves a stock of dry goods and
groceries entirely purchased in the North, be
Sides selling bacon and corn brought from the
West, thus sending money away from home lor
everything that was needed to supply his trade,
but the strong and enterprising generation of
new men in the South, born ami educated at a
time when they were forced out of the old ruts
and found it a necessity to work energetically
for their living, has changed rdl this, and these
young men are to day the ones who are push
ing our section forward with the resistless force
that is destined in a few years to make us a
most favored people, living in the most prosper
ous region or the world. These young men
have largely brought about this change
by turning their attention to developing our
home resources and manufacturing our native
materials, thus giving to ns command of the
three great sources of wealth, viz: agriculture,
mining and manufacturing. A country with
these all developed in due proportions must in
evitably become wealthy and important, ami
they are all so linked with each other that anew
departure or demand in one is met by anew
condition in some other. For instance, the de
mand for our home-made cotton cloths has
stimulate ! our home mills until they an* almost
■without exception more prosperous than any
others in the country. This, and the increased
foreign demand for our cotton-the tiest in the
world—caused a demand for more ootton to bo
grown, and this in its turn made it necessary to
find some way to augment the yield by renew
ing old worn out lands and extending 'the an*a
in which cotton could ripen early enough to es
cape I lie frosts, while this want was met by the
erection of our great fertilizer factories! and
to-day the crop of Georgia alone is increased
200,<100 bales or cotton,cud tbe value of another
100,000 bales in corn, bacon, etc,, or say a total
value of $12,000,000, as a result from proiior
fertilizing.
At first this demand was met from the North,
but we have now found out that fertilizers can
be made right here at our doors very much
cheaper and incomparably better than any
where else, and ihe result is that, whereas ten
years ago in Georgia Ss.ono.tvio was sent North
for a small quantity of fertilizer, now oniy
$3,000,000 is paid for a much larger quantity of
a much better article, and two-thirds of this
now goes to our own manufacturers anti citi
zens. thus only leaving ?1.000,000 to leave the
State, instead of §5,000,000. as formerly.
With fertilizers made in our own State we now
make our cotton aud our food, we manufacture
a good percent age of the cotton and keeping
hero sufficient for our want s we thou export the
balani-e. besides sending abroad and toother
States cloth, fertilizers, corn, etc., in largo and
increasing quantities.
What a contrast to a few years ago when,
w ith fertilizers made far awav, w e raised cot
ton and exported it all in a vain effort to sell it
for enough money to send away to |>ay for our
fertilizers, our food and our clothing, and even
then seemed on the way to the poorhouse, while
Bow we are fast bunding up happy and pros-
permis hornet.
The credit of this great change is largely duo
to the many new men at the helm of the fertili
ser manufacturing industry, but there is no
single concern to-day that can lav claim to
having done more to create this industry than
the gentlemen connected with the Baldwin
Fertilizer Company, of this city, a picture of
whose enormous works at Port Royal, S. t\.
can lie seen on the ninth page of*this Issue.
These gentlemen are not content with their
present factory, but even contemplate nearly
doubling its present capacity next summer.
They propose that there shall not >e a
single planter in (Georgia. Florida, South Caro
lina <*r Alabama who can say next winter that
Le knows nothing of their fertilizers. Already
with a reputation for making nothing but fer
tilizers best suited for our crops and soils, they
propose to bring thtMiiselvea more prominently
t han ever before the planting community this
lull, by making the most, attractive fertilizer
exhibit ever made, at the Piedmont Imposition
in Atlanta, the state Fairs at Macon. Ua., Co
lumbia, 8. ('., and Montgomery, Ala., the North
eastern Fair at Athens, Ga., and the Sub-Tropical
at Jacksonville, Fla. Manufacturing as they
do special fertilizers for every variety of crops,
they propose to show every detail of the manu
facturing business. from the samples and first
preparation of the crude phosphate rock, to
gether w ith pyrites for the making of sulphuric
ncid, and through the varied ammoniates and
potash salts used, up to the finished product
and the crops grown by ita use. We, therefore,
advise our readers to go to some or all of these
exhibitions, and see what can be done by a
Southern company of the New South, managed
iy Southern-bom energy and determination, as
their exhibit will probably be more indicative
Wf Ihe new spirit of our people than almost any
>thcr that could be made, and, therefore, more
ittractive and interesting to you.

UPPER STEAM RICE MILLS.
A very* large area of the rice-growing country
is tributary to Savannah, and the rice trade is
therefore an important feature in tbe business
of the city. In order to prepare the product of
the plantation for market it is necessary to have
it milled, by which process the rough hull is re
moved and tbe rice polished to a pearly white.
Its quality, and therefore its value, depends to a
great extent on the hardness and size of the
grain and its whiteness, and to obtain these
results in the highest degree the skill of the
miller is directed The oldest and best known
mills in the South are the Upper Steam Rice
Mills in this city, sometimes called Habersham's
mills from the fact that they- have been under
the management of Hint family for three genera
tions. These mills have been put in thorough
order for this season's business, and are pre
pared to receive and pound rough rice, aud
solicit the continuance of the patronage of
planters, factors aud others. Mr. R. B, Haber
sham, Ihe manager, gives his personal atten
tion to the business, and it is not saying too
much when it is stated that under his manage
ment the reputation of the mills for good work
has, if possible, been increased.

GEORGE MEYER, WHOLESALE HF.EU.
Attention is called to the one-half page adver
tisement of the above establishment, which,
from an humble beginning, has within a few
years grown to be tlie largest of its kind in the
Southeast. The agencies for the sale of the
celebrate*! Anheuser-Busch St. Ixniis lager beer,
F. W. Jessen, Charleston, S. t\: (Forge Meyer
& Cos.. Jacksonville. Fla.: R. W. Simms, San
ford, Fla., etc., ore the direct offspring of the
Savannah house uf (Jeorgo Meyer. So great
was the demand created in this section for the
pure goods manufactured by the association
that each of the above named ldaces required
its local agency, all of which are
prospering. Tt* and reputation
acquired by these goods, together with the tire
less energy in offering them to the public in the
very best shape, have resulted in building up
the largest b**jr business in the Southern States,
the requirements for these establishments
equalling the manufactory of an ordinary sized
brewery. One of the results of the feverish a
tivjty characterizing the representatives of the
An he user Busch Association is the establish
ment of tbe keg Ihh r trade in Key West and
Havana. Formerly it was impossible to plans
keg beer in good condition owing to the long
sea voyage, out the opening of the Cuban Fast
Mail route via the Plant Steamship Oomvmny
affords quick transportation to those
points. it. U f W. Simms, their
South Florida agent, was the first
to seize the opportunity and introduced those
coisls in the tropical markets, and die Key
Wester as well us the Cuban now si*k* their
thirst with the delicious cool lager of St Louis.
The advent of their bottled beer Bah also revo
lutinnized that branch of the business. and
