Savannah Savings Bank.
Tbis is a recently established institution in
this city, and has inaugurated the success
ful and popular “stamp system,” which is
opewted by over 15J backs in the United
States. The system gives great satisfaction
to both the baDks and depositors, many
o! whom were induced to begin saving by
tae novelty and convenience of the system.
The board of directors and officers are
ail young men of energy and
business experience. W. K. Wilkinson,
the president, is a Bsthesda boy and ottrib- '
utes uis success to the methodical habits
ucquired i:i the old grocery lirm of Cham

Mr. Joseph F. Doyle is our efficient post
master, and is very popular with all classes.
Mr. Thomas Nugent, the well-known
baker, is another young man that has
demonstrated what well directed energy
and pluck will accomplish in Savannah.
• Scarcely 80 years of age, he has built up a
prosperous nusiuess and accumulated a

It was originally intended to place the
capital of the bank at $50,000, but when
tho subscription lists were footed up it was
found that nearly $70,000 had been sub
scribed, and owing to the demand
for stock the board has un
dor serious consideration the feasibility
of increasing it to SIOO,OOO or more. Owing
to tho popularity of the plan and the well
known ability of the men at the head of
affairs, we predict that the bank will
speedily become one of the most successful
financial institutions in Savaunah.
. Keboe’s Iron Works.
Among Savannah’s leading merchants
and principal manufacturers is this well
an 1 favorably known house, whose mam
moth iron works are situated on Broughton

of the firm’s business.
Their mills and pans are made of tho very

M. Ferat’s sens & Cos.
There i* nothing which contributes more
directly to the metropolitan cliaraoter of a
city than the establisnmeut of large whole
tale grocery houses. Asa source of supply
for everything iu the provisionline, suited
to this market, this city lias for years occu
pied a conspicuous position and attracted
dealers from all parts of this and surround
ing states, and the inducements are aug
mented in at least the full proportion of in
creased copulation, development and pros
perity of the country.
The staunch and well known firm of M.
Ferst’s Bons A Cos. are successors of M. Ferst
& Cos., and they coutiuue business on the
same successful plan inaugurated by the
great founder of this house. Inheriting the
talents of their tat her, the sons are wonder
ful business men. Their mammoth establish

to the visitor. With immense frontage on
Bay street, the huge building extends back
ward to the Central railroad, and the
wharves on the river, thus giving the firm
advantageous facilities in receiving and
shipping goods. The sample room of this
colossal grocery house is a curiosity. It car
ries in embryo a sample of the whole. As
one steps from the sample room into the
vast shipping department the immensity of
the business done by this firm begins to
dawn upon him, and as he passes through
tbe packing room, the liquor depository,
the cigar aud tobacco department, und goes
down into the vast storage rooms in the cel
lars. be realizes what a tremendous grocery

SAVANNAH OROCEHY CO MPANY.
One of the Most Extensive Factors In
the City’s Commerce.
One of tbe most imposing of the many
business bouses on the Bay is the large six
story brick building occupied by the Savan
nah Grocery Company, and erected for it
two years ago.
To tho stranger viewing it from Bay street
it would appear to be only a large three
story structure, but if he would enter the
building from tho street, and go to the rear,
a glance down from the balcony overlook
ing the harbor would show him that he was
on the fourth floor, while below him he
would see the double railway traoks that
run through tbe building which spans
them; he would see their wnarf front of 150
feet where the great grocery house
receives its shiploads ot stock
from home and foreign markets, and theu,
aftor being shown through the mammoth
building, facilitated in the passage fromoDe
capacious floor to another by the large ele
vator, moving noiselessly by the power of
tbe ponderous gas engine, and after inspect
ing tbe stock he would not wonder at the
heavy volume of trade that flows into this
house from Georgia, Florida, Alabama aud
the Carolina*.
Such advantages for reoeiving and ship
ping goods are possessed by few houses iu
tbe south, and, as a result of this, there is a
great saving in drayogo and handling,
whioh is an important factor to the trade,
as the interior merchant gots the benefit of
it. This is especially-<rue where oarload
lots are sent out Goods are lowered bv
elevators to the very car doors, and loaded,
sealed aud promptly dispatched. An in
stance is recalled by the writer where fif
teen carloads for Alabama were sent off in
one day, a special engine taking tbe goods
to Waycross, a “local” conveying them to
Uainbridge, from which point they wero
taken oyer tbe Alabama Midland to their
destination. The minimum cost of handling
goods has done much toward building up
tho extensive trad* whioh the oompany en
joys.
The system, visible on every hand, strikes
the visitor at a glance. On tbe fourth, or
principal floor, is a general assortment from
which small and even large orders can bo
filled rapidly where unusuul haste is neces
sary, and the other iloors are stored with
heavy stocks, in departments to themselves.
On this floor is a drug departmeut, and it
goes without saying that it is complete, as
Mr. Jonas Memial, one of the principal offi
cers of tbe company and the buyer for the
house, is an educated pharmacist. On
this floor there is. a large and elegant sam
ple room—a grocery in itself—where sam
ples of everything iu the line of fancy gro
ceries, canned goods, coffees, teas, rice,
liquors aud wines and cigars and tobacco
are displayed to advantage, and the mer
chant from the interior, who comes to the
city to do his buying, finds this sample room
a wonder In itself. He sees what he wants
to buy at a glance, and if inclined to be for
getful every thing in bis Hue Is in plaiu view
to refresh his memory.
Beginning at the top of the building, we
find on tbe sixth floor, walls* rafters and
floor packed aud hung with goods. Here
are the wooden, willow and tinware stocks
well buckets, paper bags and wrapping
paper and a stock of mis ellaueous goods, or
what may be designate) odds and ends that
must be added to stock a general grocery
store.
Ou the fifth floor there are departments
in tho front for cigars, cheroot* and oigar
ettes.for tobaoeoes and snuff and/or station
ery. In the rear is the canned goods de
partment, and it is no unusual thing to see
10,000 cases arriving by a siugle ve -sd.
Ou the fourth floor, as we ha ve seen, a
feneral assortment is carried, and here the
rug departmeut is located. A large stock
of flour, rice, grits, ooffee, sugar ami crack
ers are kep t ou this floor, duplicates of
which are stored iu well ventilated ware
houses. Tbe front portion of this story is
used by tbe shippers. Suites of offices are
iu tho rear for tue bookkeepers, correspond
ents and officers of tho company.
The extensive liquor department is on the
third floor, with a special department for
carrying broken porkages, or barrels on tap,
for wbat is known as the out-of-town “jug
trade.” Tho stock of liquors carried is verv
large, and embraces all grades of rve aud
oor.i whiakns, brandies and wines, im
ported and domestic. Avery large assort
ment of popular brands of bottled beer,
1 ales and porter, in casks, are stored on this
floor, while the stock of case liquors, from
common to the very belt, is quite large.
The north side of the secood floor is stocked
with lard, butter, hams, fish in packages,
pickles, etc., while the south side is devoted
to bacon and salt 'meats.
Tbe first floor on the south opens out ou
River streo’, where tfce double line pf rail
way runs between the malu buildiMt and
the extensive warehouse fronting tbe .com
pany's wharves, Hare freight is received
and goods shipped in carload lots from
either side of River street. The salt ware
house is on the north side of River street,
the company receiving salt by the vessel
load from Liverpool and from the east. It
U sacked here aud shipped to ail points iu
the south.
The company gives employment to over
fifty persons, fifteen of whom travel for tbe
house In Georgia, Florida, Alabama and
tbe Carolina#. The Savannah Grocery
Compauv is an enterprising firm, and their
trade i3 co-exteuaive with the South At
lantic coast and its interior. The house has
succeeded, in less than two years of its ex
istence, in taking Its place in the front rank
of the largest houses in the south.
Prompt in its attention to the trade, quiok
to take ad vantage of declining markets for
tbe benefit of its customers, with facilities
thatjeuable it to minimize the expense of
receiving us stock and distributing it to the
trade, and pledged to fair dealing, it con
fidently anticipates that its wonderful
growth will be eclipsed in the near future,
which is so pregnant with promise. Its stock
holders embrace enterprising citizens of
Savannah and other portions of the state,
who are cYseiy allied with every measure
looking to the commercial and Industrial
progress and prosperity of Savannah, Geor
gia aud contiguous states,and theSavaunah
Grocery Company may be fitly denomi
nsd one of thasolid pillars of Savannah's
iqfUrce. *
i CT HE WHEELS OF TRAFFIC.
Tho Railroads of the South Seeking
Inlets Here.
No city on the South Atlantic coast
possesses transportation facilities equal to
thoso of Savannah.
It is the coast terminus of two of the
greatost ra lroad systems of the south —the
Central railroad, operated by the Rich
mond and Danville, and the Plant system,
the former reaching into every part of Cen
tral, Eastern and North Georgia, crossing
rftyuth Carolina, and extending into Ala
!>*ma and Tennessee, germing through con
victions with tho great western systems
anil opening up to Savannah tbe vast pro
ydgniag centers beyoou the Mississippi, de
veloping the coal and iron, in fact almost
the entire mineral districts of North Geor
gia, Tennessee and Alabama, and forming
a net work of railway that covers a quarter
of the southern states.
The Plant system, with its over 1,500
miles of rail lines, penetrates Mouth and
Southeast Georgia, Florida aud South
Carolina and the fertile fields of Alabama,
forming connections into Mississippi and
Louisiana, bringing to Savannah thousands
of bales or cotton aud making it tbe foreign
shipping port for the phospuato industry of
Florida.
TERMINUS FOB 3,700 MILES OF ROAD.
These two great systems oombiued make
Savaunah the seaport terminus tor 3,700
miles of road. In tbe next few days the
South Bound railroad, a Savannah enter
prise, built with Savaunah capital and
forming anew northern and western con
necting line, penetrating one of the richest
agricultural sections of South Carolina,
will be ready for business. The road is 143
miles in length, thirty-live miles of which
is through one of the most fertile and valu
able fruit and vegetable growing sections
of Georgia. The not them division through
South Carollua to Columbia traverses a
rich cottou-growing oountry, thlokly set
tled and prosperous. It is expectod
that lUOSUOV oaths of cotton will be added to
Savannah's receipts next season over tbis
road.
NF.W ROADS BUILDING.
The Macon and Atlantic and the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic railroads one au air
line to Macon, with connections into Ala
bama and with the west; tbe
other an air line to Atlanta, now
building, will be in operation into Savan
nah within the next twelve months.
The Savannah, Amerious and Montgomery,
establishing a through line from Mont
gomery, Ala., now completed to within
seventy-five miles of Savaunah, where it
connects with the Savannah and Western
rail way,will, Itisoxpeoted, have an indepen
dent line running fnto Savanuah within a
year, and will open now fields of trade and
aid iu tho development of new industries.
To these main lines of intercommunica
tion add tbe smaller rail lines, brauchos,
apd connecting lines penetrating the rapidly
dovGi.ping sections of Boutbern, Southeast
and Middle Georgia, and Savannah has
a railway system laying down here the
products of the richest and most fertile sec
tions nf i±c south, that is equaled by no
coast city in tbe south.
a * great 1 future.
, yv ith, the consummation of tbe deep water
project for the Savannah river, opening tbe
harbor to the deepest draught ships of the
worth and tbe completkm ot the railroads
tpvf abiding here, Savv.nah will possess a
Jutaqgsrce far in excels of the vast com
merce it now has, and Tt can lay claim to
Aeiugdhe chief city of the south.
I “The terminal facilities of Savannah are
worth millions of dollars, ’ was the estimate
made by Jay Gould after au inspection last
winter of the vast wharves and terminals
cf tho Central railroad system.
With its unequaled coast linos of steam
ships, its great railway systems already
built and the new railroads building, tbe
prediction for a great future for Sa
vannah cannot fain No city in Geor
gia can compare with it in its
general advantage* and commanding facili
ties for a trade center. No port on the
southern coast is so hdmirably aud advan
tagff-.iF y situated,land there is no city in
the g gvh with sued bright prospects to in
spire dflergy and enterprise in her people
and ttf attract the’ attention of capitalists
and men of energy.
