On one of his cjood days you can hear him in Atlanta.

Even on his bad days Frank Lacy can be heard anywhere in

Savannah. He doesn't raise his voice because he lacks social grace. But over the past thirty- one years as dockmaster he has developed the habit of having things go the way he wants— the right way.

What Frank wants is the same thing the rest of us want. That's to keep the commitments we've made to you and your port engineer. We don't like apologiz- ing. We don't like explaining.

We make sure we don't have to do a lot of it.

Frank is a good man. So is the rest of our crew.

This is a good town. And we have a good year-round climate.

We'd like you to come down here and let us show you what we can do—from major conver- sion to voyage repair.

Say howdy to Frank, and tell him you saw his picture. Smile when you say it, and he'll smile too.
