BUILDING OUTLOOK
IN BRUNSWICK IS
6ROWIN6JRIGHT
School Projects, as Well as
Many Others, Will
Soon Begin.
RISLEY SCHOOL FIRST;
OTHERS SOON TO FOLLOW
. ... #
Handsome Automobile Head
quarters of Two Companies
Will Call For Outlay of Many
Thousands of Dollars.—Gale
& Cos. to Soon Start Packing
Plant.
While there may be building activi
ties of an uncertain nature to start
in Brunswick durin gthe next few
months, pfroject|B already sure will
reach such magnitude that insures
a building period in Brunswick that
will cause renewed activity in all
lines, and will cause the man out of
work here to be busy for months to
come.
Among the project*, with prelim
inaries already under way, may be
mentioned the Rlsley school building,
astructure which is to cost $40,000
and when completed it will be one of
the best colored school buildings in
the entire state. This will be located
on the north' end of the lot on which
the Riisley school building now stands
and will prove a credit to the wise
management cf the schools of the city
at the hands of the present Board of
Education, While the date of the
real'beginning of work on this struc
ture has not been announced, it may
be stated that there will he no un
necessary delay.
Work on the High School and Me
morial 1 Auditorium, a project carry
ing an expenditure of $200,000, will
a too start a* soon us practicably, and
| tk|| W|Ui ■ nrove in be one of IjML hand*
builrfrogs of the state, If not the entire
South. Having the benellt of the ex
perience of others, the Board of Edu
cation has the advantage of profit
ing by this and is in position to kftow
exactly what la needed and what Is
desired. The advertisements for
bids lot- these buildings will soon be
printed and, from reports, competi
tion among contractors will be of the
keenest sort, and this insures
the best work at the lowest figure.
At Gloucester and TTnlon streets ac
tual building of a modern automobile
service station will begin at once.
This Is the site on which stood the
Crovatt home, the rasing of which
was practically finished a few days
ago. It is stated that the station to
bf built there will be second to none
in the state, both as to facilities and
apace, with any and everything of
the modern idea at hand. On the
west side of the same property will
be erected a filling station, etc., of
the Btamlard Oil company. This too,
will be of the most "right .now" kind;
in fact, It,‘like the establishment to
be plnced on the east side of the lot,
will be the lost word in automobile
service stations.
Along the building line may also be
mentioned the pinna of Gale & Cos., the
large Florida Halt packing concern.
Thin company hn already secured a
•lte Just north of the Brunswick Cre- j
oaoting company and south of the
properties on which U located the
plant of the Brunswick Marine Con
struction corporation and on this site
s modern parking plant will he erect
ed, aa also wharves for the many craft
which are to be used by the company
In daep sea fishing. With the coming
of the fleet of Ashing bo;ts will come
the families of those who will man
craft, bringing at least fifteen
or twenty famiiie* to Brunswick.
House*! will have to be provided for
the 4 and this means that dwellings
In the vlclnty pf the plant now not In
Aral class condition will be put in
“ship shape ' and If there Is not a suf
ficient number to ‘house the families
of the fishermen, others will be built.
These ire only s few of the many
builldfng projects for the near future
and, others could be mentioned. All
in all. the building prospects art'
bright—very bright.

any more delicate than it had been
since the exchanges begun.

Commenting on the letter from
Lloyd George, the Freeman’s Journal
gaid today: “In our opinion, the prime

the construction which Jan C. Smuts,
premier of the Union of South Africa,
put upon the original offer from the
British government.”
The Irish Independent urged the
prime minister to readjust or modi

AN INDUSTRY WHICH IS * *
GROWING AT A RAPID RATE
With the motto that "nothing is too
good for the public,” Alonso Brothers,
cigar manufacturers, although in bus
iness only a little over a year, have
demonstrated that this motto,-, when
lived up to as this firm has,
wins and as a result the cigars manu
factured have taken a lead among the
standard brands of the country.
Y. M. C., named for the Young
Men’s Club, stands pre-eminent
among the popular ten-cent sellers on
the local market, R. V, A„ and Lopes
Blunts, have won their way Into the
good graces of the man who desire*
a real Ha bans smoke at a cost re
markably low. Not only pre these
brands popular here ip Brunswick and
surrounding territory, but orders are
being received from distant cities, not
ably among these may be mentioned
Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Augusta*
CHnmbus, Norfolk. Va.. to say nothink
of their popularity in nearby cities
and towns.
From a small start the factory has
grown to where It employs twelve
skilled cigarmakeTs and on various
occasions night work is required to
fill the accumulating orders. Both
the Messrs. Alonso have been Identi
fied with the local cigar trade for the
past fourteen years and both are well
known and popular. A movement has
been started looking to the still fur
ther increase of the factory’s busi
ness by the organization of a stock
company with ample capital to con
duct the business on far-reaching pro
portions.
It is just such enterprises as the
Alonso Brothers that go toward mak
ing a great city of Brunswick. The
company’s headquarters are in the
second floor of the large building,
corner Gloucester and Richmond
streets, and the scene there is one of
real activity at *ll time*.
