The population of Santos has grown amazingly in recent years and is now close to 150.000. The town was-estab- lished by the Portuguese nearly 400 years ago, but modern Santos is little more than a generation old. It was a small place, on an undrained semi- tropical plain, in the eighties, when the marked development in coffee produc- tion began inland. and it became neces- sary to enlarge the port facilitles. Drainage canals were extended through the plain a sewerage system construct- ed and streets paved. One of the most important improvements was the con- struction of concrete, ratproof wharves. Santos now has three miles of such wharves. _Along them are more than a score of immense coffee warehouses, and farther from the water front are as many more. Altogether these storage | the places could house more than 5,000,000 bags of coffee at one time. i using at mhm 3 wharves {o?' zf' hours can_receive an astounding amount of coffes in this 5 TO 25 MILES PER HOUR IN 7% SECONDS/ 10 TO 45 MILES IN I3% SECONDS/ No other car in The Victorv price class €an approach these astonishing get-away figures!
