Set Apart by That Church to
Venerate Faithful Dead.—
Feast of All Saints is Observ
ed Throughout the World.—
One of Holiest Days.
Today is the Feast of All Saints, a
day set apart by the Catholic Church
for the special honor and veneration
of the faithful who have died In the
grace of God and have lecn admitted
to the glory and happiness of Heaven.
The festival Is very ancient, going
hack to the fourth century, hut the as
signment to the first day of November
•lutes from the year 731. A. F>.
The saints of thp church who have
been cannonlzed have their various
feast days assigned In both the East
ern and Western church: the feast
of All Saints Includes, however, not
only these, but all others whose
names and lives are unknown to the
world, hsil who hare served God faith
fully dftring life.
The feast of All Saints Is observed
throughout the world, and is one of
the holy days when all are obliged to
attend mass the same as on Sundays.
The special commemoration of the
faithful departed on the day Imme
dlntely following the feast of All
Saints dates hack to the tenth cen-j
tnry. although similar practices on
other days arc of far greater antiqui !
ty in the church. On this day the
priests enjoy a privilege similar to
that of Christmas f>ay—the celebra
tion of three masses. All of the-**
masses are said on All Souls’ Day 1n

is accompanied bv funeral ceremonies.

GLYNN ICE CREAM
COMPANY BUYS BIG
BUILDING ON BAY
Will Spend Large Sum in lm=
proving It For Greatly In=
creased Business.
BRUNSWICK WILL HAVE ONE
OF BEST PLANTS IN GEORGIA
Company Has Proved a Money
making Concern From Very
Day Began Business.—Out
put Stands at Head as to Pur
ity and General Food Quali
ties and in New Quarters Can
Handle Tremendous Business
Announcement was made yesterday
of the purchase by the Glynn Ice
Cream company from E. L. Stephens
and associates, of the large two-story
brick building, corner George and Bay
streets, and by January 1, it will have
been thoroughly repaired and made
into a real ice cream factory at which
♦ime. it is thought, the company will
he ready to begin operations' there.
The Glynn Ice Cream Company is
officered hv B. J. Ford, president, E.
L. Stephens, vice president. Ralph j
Smith, secretary and treasurer, and
from the very day the company start
ed business it has been a wonderful
success not only as to the purity of its
product, hut financially, and the In
creasing demand for more space made
other and larger quarters necessary.
The company’s business is net con
fined to Brunswick alone, but extends
over a wide section of this part of the
state and this, like the local end of it,
will be materially increased as soon
as the company is domiciled in its (
new and elegant home.
The New Building.
The new building is located at the
corner of George and Bay streets. It
Is brick and us 3n by DO feet, and
stands on a lot which is 30 by 110. It
is two stories and when the company
finishes extensive repairs, it will be
one of the best buildings in Bruns
wick. Everything In and around the
new home of the company will be
painted white and the purity denoted
by this color will be maintained in the
excellent ouput which has made the
company stand among the leaders of
Georgia manufacturers of Ice cream
of the best kind. Some time ag the
state chemist rated cream of this
company with the purest made in
Georgia, giving its food value espe- j
oial attention.
All the Year Business.
Formerly ice cream manufacturing
was confined almost enilr?!/ to the I
summer season, leu it has developed j
that In winter it is used, while not to i
the great extent of warm weather, by
practically all who are consumers in
the hot season. The food value of ice
cream has been demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the general public
this has caused a steady demand for
it even in the very coldest weather.
Additional Machinery.
While the plant o ft he Glvnn Ice
Cream company Is at present one of
the best in the state, several thousand
dollar* will be spent In adding addi
tional machinery of the verv latest
patent and. expecting Brunswick to
grow at a rapid rate, a plant which
will fill the demand of a city of 100-
000 will be the result of th- change
in buildings. Along with th“ large
building purchased, goies a small one
story structure adjoining, and this,
too. will he put in firsts lass condition
and will likely be used by the com
pany for its offices. The spreading
out of this company is due to th ener
getic efforts of its managers, the ex
cellency of its output and Brunswick
as a marke t. The wonderful showing
made speaks volumes for the city and
i success which can he attained here
when pn-*h js added to the product
