A Happy New Year to the Jewish
Community of Detroit

The hardy settlers lived in tents on this malaria-infested swamp-
=
= land, until they conquered the soil and established one of the most
—
!El flourishing colonies in Palestine.

Our dock and terminal comprises 20 acres of land on the Detroit River,
on the slip adjoining the Great Lakes Engineering Works, Ecorse, Michi-
gan, served by the Michigan Central Railroad, and all within the Detroit
switching limits. Two miles of track facilities are immediately avail-
able, 1,500 feet of cement dock has been completed, and a depth of 20
feet of water will be maintained in the slip.
•
We have a 65-ton locomotive for switching and will have installed
within 60 days the latest improved type of Fairbanks-Morse track scale.
Our handling facilities consist of two large electric bridged gantry
cranes and three heavy locomotive cranes for the proper and expeditious
transfer of all types of bulk cargo, such as stone, gravel, molding, sand,
phosphate rock, pig iron, scrap, steel bars, structural iron, wire, pipe,
boxed automobiles, and like commodities.
Our terminal is the largest commercial dock and terminal on the
Great Lakes and is equipped with the latest and most improved facili-
ties. There is considerable additional space for future development, an-
ticipating the need of proper terminals when the Lakes-to-Ocean deep
waterway is developed.
Our organIzation is thoroughly familiar with this line of work, having
for a great many years operated steamboats and docks on the Great
Lakes, catering to various special commodities. We know the impor-
tance of prompt dispatch of vessels and the proper service to shippers and
receivers.
If you either ship or receive at Detroit, or are interested in any way in
bulk commodities moving by water or by rail and water, may we ask that
you get in touch with us?
Sincerely Yours,

JI
