BRUNSWICK. - GEORGIA:
SATURDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 90,188*.
OUB TRADE ISSUE.
In accordance with our promise,
we this morning present to onr rea
ders and the great public, the first
trade issue ever issued in Brunswick.^
It bns always been our aim to make
every issue of the Advertiser and Ap
peal to a certain degree a trade issue
in that we continually - strive to talk
and write Brunswick, and her nuttier
ons advantages, and to bring and
keep nlways before the public mind
that Brunswick and Glynn county are
favored spots. Bat in this issue we
have made a special effort to present
these matters, and, by the help of
several fluent and ready writers—men
alive to the grandeur of the theme—
and the liberal substantial aid of our
citizens, we believe we have succeed
ed to a moderate degree. We have
labored under many disadvantages,
chief of which wns inexperience in
this particular branch of journalistic
work, but the result of oar labors is
before you, with the request that you
ho lenient in ndverse criticisms.
To the strangers into whose bands
shall happen to fall a copv of this
sheet, we would recommend a care
ful porusal, with the assurance that
every word hero recorded is as true as
though attested by*the seal of truth
itself, and investigation will corrob
orate every statement herein contain
ed. We especially recommend a care
ful perusal if the reador be at all dis
satisfied with b'is present location and
prospects, becanse it tells of a new
and growing field for operations in
the most pleasant portions of this
groat land of oars. If yon are a
farmer, this section of Georgia, and
especially Glynn county and tbe sea-
const offers unexcelled opportunities
for tbe prosecution of yonr chosen
profession, if you are a mechanic or
artisan of any bind, you will find
Brunswick an excellent location ; if
you nre a merchant, the field is largo
and you bnvo but to occupy ; if yon
are a capitalist, in this above all other
places are offered golden opportuni
ties for the investment of your money
—in short, whatever may be yonr bu
siness or occupation, yon will find in
those columns something of interest;
and in Brunswick a pleasant home
and a fertile field for oporatiou.
There is room enough and to spare,
nncl everybody is invited—except
drones, dead-beats and chronic gram
biers.
We do not for one moment claim
that onr trade issue is at all complete.
It would be impossible to present a
resume of evory business uud enter
prise, and tho English language itself
would be inadequate to speak of the
advantages and excellencies possessed
by our town and section, and the op
portunities that are ripe for the gath
ering of him who will but reaoh forth
his hand. We cordially invite tbe
reader to come and see oar people,
our town and our country, firmly be
lieving that he will be made to ex
claim, "the half was not told."
To the many friends who rendered
us great assistance in presenting onr
trade issue, and to those of onr busi
ness men who have cheerfully respond
ed to onr calls f»r\pngible and mate
rial aid, we return our sincere thanks,
hoping that onr common object may
at least in small degree be achieved,
to-wit, tbe building np of onr town
mid sectiou. Respectfully,
The Pcbusheb.

Below and elsewhere in these col
umns we give editorial notices of the
wide-awake business men of our city
who have come forward and placed
themselves prominently before the
public in this trade issue. Besides
these will be found the advertise
ments of oar regular patrons. When
combined they present an array wor
thy of consideration. Read them
carefully. With this explanation, we
proceed:—
Littlefield 4c TUon.
We ever delight to write and speak
tbe praises of these gentlemen, than
whom none are more intimately con
nected with tbe development of our
trade aud business to its presant pro
portions, and are more entitled to
praise for this development. Since
the embarkation of the senior mem
ber of the firm in business among
us, his career has ever been marked
by a degree of energy and push
that knew no failure, and since
tbe organization of tho pres
ent firm this has been even more ap
parent than before. From a com
paratively small and modest begin
ning, they have enlarged their busi
ness and facilities until at present it
has assumed such proportions that
even their large and commodious
warehouses, offices aud wharves are
inadequate. They do a general com
mission business and deal in brick,
lime, plaster, cement, bay and salt, all
of which they are prepared to furnish
iu any quantity at shortest notice.
Iteferonce to their advertisement will
disclose tbe fact that they are nlso
agents of tbe New York and Boston
packet fines and of the growth and
prosperity of this departmont’of their
business we proposo now to speak.
Their pnoket line to New York wns
inaugurated by tbe sailing, on the
12th of August, 1873, of tho schoon
er S. P. Hull from that port, with, ns
the gentlemen expressed it to the writ
er, "about two dray loads of freight.”
What a change! To-day, in 1882,
three fast sailing packets nre constant
ly leaving the metropolis, laden to
their utmost capacity with all manner
of goods and merchandise for our
own and interior merchants, which
latter is quickly re-sbipppd to its des
tination. lint it may be interesting
to note the progress and development
of this trado : In 1871 a small in
crease wns perceptible, nnd iu 1875
tho number of cargoes received was
twenty eight; in 1870, however, much
of the business Wa absorbed by the
steamship lines, and ouly eighteen
vessels were received ; iu 1877 a large
increase took place, and the number
was increased to twenty-nine, about
the same number being received dur
ing each of tbe two succeeding years;
in 1880 a decrease occurred the en
tire receipts from freights Leiog only
about $8000; iu 1881 the income
from freight amounted to $18,000, and
the business of the present bids fuir
to far exceed it. They have lately
organized a packet line from Boston
to this city which is receiving a fair
amount of business. In addition to
the regular packet business, a little
trifle of 15,000 tons of steel rails,
those now used on the Atlanta exten
sion of the M. & B. Railroad, have
been shipped over tbe docks of this
firm, and about 25,000 tons of guano
and eight cargoes of hay—with in
dications of greater things iu tbe
near future.
A part of this business has been
the bringing here of immense quanti
ties of salt, where it is re-shipped to
interior points. The prospects nre
good that a fair business will be done
this season by these fines in the car
riage of cotton to the North. We

tributing point for all freights for tbe
territory traversed by our two lines
of railroad and connections, and tbe
day will soon come wlieu every pound
of it—other then quick transit freight
—will pass over our docks.
In couclusiou, we again recom
mend Messrs Littlefield & Tison to
tbe business public, with the assur
ance that every interest intrusted to
them will be held sacredly dear and
receive the benefit of a long and
prosperous experience.
It run .wick Lands Improvement and
Colonization Company.
Our readers will notice two notices
in this issue of application for bank
charters, one by "The Brunswick
Lnnds Improvement and Colonization
Compnny,” the other by the incorpo
rators of that company. We inter
viewed Mr. Goodyear, of the
firm of Gooodyenr & Kny, who
procured the charter from the court
for the above compnny, ns to why two
notices were given. He fetated that
it wns not yet determined whethor it
would be best to procure banking
powers for,the company, or have
charter entirely independent of that.
We asked Mr. Goodyear what the
prospect for a bank whs. He ans
wered that the best evidence of tbe
intention of the applicants would be
the bank in operation; that he could
only say that tbe Boston parties, with
whom he was in correspondence, have
employed his firm to procure necessa
ry chnrter privileges, nnd have assured
him that a bank with such capital ns
may be required for present business
needs, will be established iu Bruns
wick as soon as charter is procured.
We asked him if he could give us any
further information in relation to the
company and the commercial and im
migration business proposed in their
chnrter. Ho said that all he could
state at present wns that he had re
ceived tho strongest assurances from
his Boston and Now York correspond
ents that active operations would be
uomraeuced probably in November,
certaiuly by December, 1882.
II 12 Flint.
Until Mr. Flint established his fur
niture ware roomsou Newcastle street,
no nttempt lmd been made iu Bruns
wick to establish a business devoted
solely to tho sale of furniture, at
wholesale and retail. While his hand
some store building was in process of
erection, many queries were made ns
to the puvposo to whicti it would be
devoted. A turn through his store
fully explains. Tho up-stairs floor is-
packed with all classes of furniture
suitable to the trade, aud wo noticed
some elegant chamber and parlor sets
on tho first floor, artistically arranged.
We understand that he proposes to
sell at wholesale or retail ns low as Sa
vannah merchants. Mr. Flint bns had
a long and varied experience in the
furniture business ami iu every de
partment of it, and has acquired an en
viable reputation for business integri
ty and (air dealing in bis thirteen
years residence in Brunswick. Par
ties purchasing goods at wholesale in
our city, aud all who desire to pur
chase furniture at retail, will do
well to give him a call. His stock
is large, but should calls be made for
anything not on hand, he has made
arrangements by which it can be fur
nished upon short notice, and in quan
tities and at prices which will compete
with Atlanta, Savannah nml Macon.

This gentlemen keejls one of tbe
nicest family groceries in the city and
has a happy run of customers, who
whether they ‘eat to live or live to
eat” have found llmt at his atom they
can secure as good articles and nt as
low prices as any where iu tbe city. Mr.
Weuz is one of our rising young mer
chants and numbers among his cus
tomers many of the best of our citi
zens.
