TRADE OATS
The Secretary of the Board of
Trade last week offered the local
merchants a suggestion that will
prove very beneficial if they will
only take advantage of it and get
busy on it. There is no question
that the city ought to adopt some
method that will turn the at
tention of the farmers of the
surrounding section in this dir
ection. The best way to do this
is is to offer them splendid
values for their money. They
are always on the look out to
save an actual dollar and if they
know that they can pick up
certain splendid bargains in
certain lines of merchandise dur
ing the regular monthly trade
cays they will begin to watch for
them and be governed by them
in their purchasing. It would
cost the merchants very little to
do this and if they will just dig
they will have the trading public
looking this way all summer and
when fall comes on they will not
have to do the work all over
again. There is no question that
this suggestion of Mr. Southwick
is a good one and the business
men will do well to look into it.

An investment of $150,000 in
new Federal and commercial
buildings has been expended in
Bainbridge during the fiscal year
ending June 30th. To install
machinery and otherwise equip
the commercial buildings for
manufacturing purposes an ad
ditional .f60,000 has been expend
ed. During the same period in re
sidences and one church (The
Jewish Synagogue) have been
completed at a cost of $40,000.
In concreate summary of the
brilliant building campaign com
pleted during the past twelve
months Bainbridge now has to
her civic pride and commercial
credit an investment of ap
proximately $250,000 in new
homes, commercial plants,
Federal and office buildings.
However, large and favoring
the amount invested in these
new buildings, the advantage to
the citv is augmented materially
by the improved architectural
plans and superior designs of the
builders. Each commercial struc
ture is a model of architectural
skill combined with improved
plans for advantageous manufac
turing purposes, or other in
dustrial use. The Bainbridge Ice
Companys new plant, with a
capacity of 40,000 tons daily, is
one of the two raw water ice
distilling plants in the south.
The other one being at Rich
mond, Va. The building, a two
story semi-fire proof brick struc
tural steel beams and columns
of reinforced concrete has a floor
space of 3,000 square feet and
equipped with oil burning en-
'gines and raw water ice dis
tilling machinery. It distributes
lice over a radius of 40 miles
and is the iceing station for the
! Atlantie Coast Line’s fruit cars.
I Mr. C. L. Walker is manager.
ELBERTA CRATE FACTORY
In figures the largest building or
set of building in this complement
of new industrial structers, is
the Elberta Crate Factory.
Partially completed the first of
November, machinery was in
stalled andmanutacturing began.
Since that date enlargement of
the plant has been under con
tinual construction and still ad
ditional room or buildings are to
added. The buildings now com
pleted consist of two manufact
uring plants, each three stories
and possessing 48,000 squire
feet of floor space; also two
warehouses of two stories with
26.000 square feet of storage
room. This plant with its 74,000
square feet of floor space and it
corresponding drying racks
covers ten acres of land and
is the largest plant of its kind
in the country. The plant manu
factures all kinds of fruit
packages and is contemplating
the manufacture of handles,
wheelborrows and such other
wooden ware as raw material
may be available for. The pre
sent volumn of business will
total on in and out cars over
2.000 loaded cars annually and
have a commercial value of
$250,000. The buildings and
equipment cost $60,000. J. M.

Trade Notes
PRETTY E
AAENI
The home of Mr. and Mrs. D.
L. Curry was the scene of a most
deligthful party for the younger
set on Friday evening June 15th,
when they entertained for their
neices, Misses Jean Dickerson,
of Bainbridge and Nomae Town
send of Climax. The house was
beautifully decorated with ferns
and cut flowers, carrying out the
color scheme of green and
yellow.
In the receiving line were Mrs-
D. L. Curry, and her guests,
Misses Jean Dickerson and No
mae Townsend, Misses Blanche
Mims and Mable Herring.
After all the guests had ar
rived some interesting games
were introduced. The one that
I afforded most amusement was
I the photograph contest. The
1 prize was awarded to Mr.
j Archie Curry and Miss Sadie Na-
; pier. Another was to answer
a set of questions, the answer
when solved disclosing names of
flowers. The prize in this con
test fell to Mr. Bert Carter and
Miss Jean Dickerson.
Refreshments, consisting ot
ice cream and cake were served
by Misses Sadie Napier, Maggie
Curry and Olive Mize. Music
on the piano was enjoyed
throughout the evening. About
thirty guests were present.
Special monthly trade days
for Bainbridge seem to be a
certainly. The merchants and
business men have reviewed and
discussed this timely theme of
commercial enterprise with much
satisfaction to themselves. They
affirm that it is the open door
to extended trade relations and
the creating of new accounts
with customers or families living
in adjoining counties. It means
a larger annual volumn of busi
ness and increased profit to the
associated merchants. It also
means a closer personal touch
between the agricultural and
mercantile interests; the farmer
and the shopkeeper or banker,
which fact is becoming more
and more vital in successful
trade relations.
Still more immediate, special
trade days established at once,
will remove from the shelves
thousands of dollars worth of
goods now being carried over
at a loss; goods which per
haps have been on the shelves
for indefinate periods and which
figure large against the profits
of the business. O ff e r e d at
special prices this remnant stock
could be cleared with advan
tage to rural buyers and the
cash invested in new goods for
fall and witer trade. Especially
is this true of bed sheeting and
print material from which com
forts and coverlets are made in
rural homes. Summer is the
season when the family bedding
is replenished and reduction sales
offer the occasion for advantage
ous buying.
Just now large or advantage
ous monthly trade days might
measure if well established is
difficult to affirm; but once creat
ed and enthusiastically carried
out th.e personal, civic and com
mercial advantage must be very
considerable. Let these days be
come once fixed in the minds
of the people of surrounding
towns and farming districts; let
it be understood by them that
not only special sales were on
but special social attractions
were staged for the day and at
once it would become a habit
with those people to come to
Bainbridge. Those days would
become public celebration days
for rural lovers, sight seekers
and Jrades people.
