Historical record of the city of Savannah

Notice.

It is with pleasure we call the attention of the merchants and planters of the interior of Georgia and Florida to the cards of our advertisers.

The fact that the merchants and manufacturers of Savannah can sell their goods on as reasonable terms, and, in some instances, at lower rates than the merchants of Northern cities, has only become generally known within the last three years. The stoppages here last season of a large number of merchants from the interior of Georgia, in their onward flight to the North, and the purchasing of goods by them at the same rates they had previously paid at the North, is a sufficient attestation of the fact to the most skeptical. In several instances orders for goods from the North were duplicated here at a less cost. Besides, by purchasing in Savannah the time and expense of a Northern trip and the additional freights are saved, thereby ensuring to those who encourage home trade an amount of profit not obtainable by following the old system of running to Northern markets every season. The merchants and manufacturers of Savannah have the facilities for supplying the demand for all articles needed throughout this section; they possess a reputation for enterprise and business integrity unsurpassed by those of any community, and it is a source of gratification to chronicle the fact that their efforts to establish a home trade are meeting with the encouragement which they richly merit.
