^fdvcjltwr and rpsgjgjOBa I^DTTS. TTofSTAOr. Editor 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.

CONSIGNMENTS SOLICIT ED, AND PROMPT RE TURNS GUARANTEED. 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 ” We have thl« day received an Invoice of this Lime, bee no reason wnv this should not be I the beat made for maeona* nae, or for whitewashing interior B. E.

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. , Albert K. Wens. 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. SB IN AND SHIPPER OF YELLOW PINE LUMBER, NAVAL STORES, H3T>C:- BRUNSWICK, Ga.
