Some Facts About Bainbridge.
Bainbridge is located on Flint river, deep water short channel to port on Gulf, and enjoys the same freight advantages as Columbus, and is entitled to Port rates, for which Atlanta has striven in vain. As a commercial center, Bainbridge enjoys marked success. Within the past five years have been added such industries as a large Oil Mill, two Barrel Factories, Sash, Door and Blind Factory, Ice Factory, Hardwood Plant, Corn Mill, Foundry and Machine Works, Canning Factory, two Brick Factories, Syrup Refinery, Machine Shops and Car Works—representing an invested capital of nearly half a million dollars. All these industries came to Bainbridge because of its natural advantages, and not because of money inducement by Bainbridge people.
Its location on the river, railroad facilities, new roads, rich farming section, etc., are bound to make Bainbridge the largest town in South Georgia. It is surrounded by the richest farming lands in Georgia—the foundation of the wealth of any town—a fine cotton country; and the home of the famous Georgia Cane Syrup and Sumatra tobacco. The climate is mild and healthy, and truck crops mature early enough for fancy prices ahead of the main crop.
It is the Only Spot in the United States Which Successfully Grows Sumatra Tobacco.
Farmers obtain $500 per acre for their tobacco crops. One New York firm, A. Cohn & Co., has a million dollars invested in their plant to grow and handle this product. Less than one-third of this land is now cultivated. There is room for 10 times the present population, and these great opportunities are certain to attract farmers to this section.
