AN IMPORTANT MEET
OF BOARD OF TRADE
FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
A Number of Matters of Vital
Interest to Brunswick Will
Come Up For Discussion
ORGANIZE CAMPAIGN FOR
BETTER FREIGHT RATES
Plans For Extending Bruns
wick’s Trade Territory Will
Also be Discussed, as Well as
the Building Up of the Clyde
Line’s Brunswick-New York
Steamship Service.
One of the most important meet
ings of the Brunswick Board of Trade
held in months is scheduled for Fri
day nipht, beginning promptly at
eight o’clock, when a number of mat
ters of vital interest to the city will
be discussed and acted upon.
Cards were sent cut yesterday by
Secretary Fred G. Warde to all mem
bers urging them to be present at
tills gathering, the first general mem
bership meeting held since spring.
Among the matters that will be be
fore the meeting is discussion of plans
to secure better freight rates for
Brunswick. A committee has been
busily at work on this problem for
some time, and has assembled a great
deal of valuable information, which
will be submitted. The freight rate
matter is now in shape for concerted
action, and there is no doubt that
Brunswick will be able lo secure
much better rates if the proper effort
is made.
Another question of far-reaching Im
portance to be discussed la plans for
tl||tmß<iij up .fit --the utile t)***
Brunswick-New York sfel#Ulrif^Wf-j
vice. The new schedule off weekly!
sailings between the two is al-j
ready.in effect, and_whether this con-i
venlent and dependable service is to
be continued, depends entirely upon
the volume of freight Handled.
-It is, therefore, of supreme Impor
tance that all Brunswick business
men not only haVe their freight routeu
by this line, hut join in the campaign
to build up the business to larger and!
profitable proportions. Committees]
from the Board of Trnde and the
Young Men’s Club have started an
intensive campaign in this direction,
not only in Brunswick, but in ail cit
ies served through this port.
Business men and merchants are
asked to place on all orders for ship
ments from the' Kant, routing such
shipments by the (Myde-Brunswlek
steamship service, a postserint at the
1m ttom of each letter reading as fol
lows: “Business Is good in Bruns
wick. Route all your shipments to
and from the Fast via Clyde-Rruns

weekly sailings.'* Orders for '‘stick
era’’ hearing this Inscription Lave
been placed with the printers. t
At the meeting Friday evening
plans will also be taken up for the ex
tension of Brunswick’s trade terri
tory. It is believed that a great many j
towns in Southeastern Georgia now]
being served from other -.cities could!
much more profitably do their husl- i

efforts to get this trade will be tnade.j

A GREAT BIG BANK
WITH A GREAT BIG HEART.

banking house has grown to be
very close to the people whom it

of aiding business men; extend

friends .always urging them to
prepare for the “rainy day."
When the hamd of death stalks in
to the home and takes away the
befoved head of the family again
the bank comes into service and
, acts as trustee for those who are
left without the guiding hand of
him who has departed.

So, in these circumstances Bruns
wick is happy indeed to possess a
great banking house with a graat
big heart; it's refreshing when
this institution, which has attain
ed to leadership in this city and
which is stretching out and broad
ening its service in other sections,
Nsays to the world that It Is “a bank
with a heart." * '
The human heart is >ttse most
sympathetic medium on eartdf
