THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. After Prohibition What? Within a week the State of Georgia will re tire from the channels of trade several millions of dollars heretofore engaged in a legalized branch of commerce. What will that mean to the business inter ests of the State? Whatever it means for Geor gia this year, it will for Alabama next. How much of the money now spent for liquor will follow it to a new abiding place and have it anyway plus the express? A certain percentage, of course, for the old toper will have his dram, but the temptation will be re moved from the young. The greatest saving will come to the labor ing. man who needs it most. In many cases his net income will be doubled, aud better still, his earning capacity increased beyond measure, for is not thrift and sobriety in every community the cornerstone of good citizenship? Here begins the interest of other citizens, not of necessity prohibitionists. Will not the vast sum heretofore spent for spirits find its way into other lines of trade? That’s the experience of every town that went dry under Local Option. Thousands of capital and hundreds of citizens employed in .the ex tinguished traffic will find other profitable pur suits. A place for them will be made hy the vastly increased purchasing power of every community. To those contemplating a change of voca tion rather than of residence, we invite atten tion to the Shoe business as one of the great staple industries that insures a living and promises a competency to those who follow it intelligently and conscientiously. Why in a few years should not the great Industry of Shoe Manufacturing in the South take the place both in capital and employment of this other mammoth traffic that expires in Georgia with the early chimes of New Year’s morning? For one, we believe it will. The RED SEAL Shoe Factory in Atlanta enters the New Year with a great lot of orders. We believe the folks in the South are going to wear Shoes made in the South. We have sold scores of opening bills for de livery in January. Anyone who thinks of go ing into the Shoe business will make no mis take to confer with us. The RED SEAL Sys tem, where used exclusively, will underwrite to do double the business on the same capital, and Capital and Interest count today as never before. We invite correspondence.
