THE BIRTHPLACE OF CUT'PRICES Splendid Imported Holiday Gifts Best Ever Brought Here. When a man come* to Atlanta from New York to buy something because he can get better goodn and for lea* money than he ran In Ills home city. It sound* rather well for Atlanta, doesn't It? That pounds strange to Atlanta peo ple, and It would be ridiculed by New Yqrk people, especially If this particu lar man *ald that which he bought In Atlanta wa* better and cheaper than the same thing In John Wanamaker's. But It is true nevertheless. This man, a traveling man. has just gone home and with him he took c<Ai*ldtr- abla presents for Christmas. Home- thing like shipping coal to Newcastle or beer to Milwaukee, Isn’t It? Sometimes people In a town have something that I* really rctnarkahlo and don’t know It. Sometimes It tuk-*s an outsider to come here, find It out and talk about It. This Atlanta place in question that caused the visitor to be loud In his praise. Is Jacobs' Pharmacy. Everybody knows all about Jacobs’ Pharmacy, you might say. but it took a visitor to And out a good thing—some thing that put Wanamakcr’s to the bad In some respects. All Kinds of Presents. Of course you can’t buy a horse and buggy or a piano at Jacobs* Pharmacy and the customer wasn't looking for things of tills sort. He was looking for Christmas presents, and after nosing around Jacobs' Pharmacy a short time he decided to spend his money In At lanta Instead of waiting to get home. Never saw a New York drummer do a thing like this for his health, did you? No, It W’us purely for financial reasons. Now, tills little incident of the wise customer always on the lookout »o save money Is the reason for this story. AtlutUu people have something they are not fully familiar with—have some thing that has New York beaten a block, and anything that beats New York a block must be something worth knowing about. hirst of all, Jacobs' PJiarmucy was the first In the South, and one of the first In the entire United States to In augurate cut prices. That's why It is said with good reason that Jacobs’ Pharmacy Is the "birthplace of cut prices." Largest in the World. Seems strange that Atlanta should have the largest retail drug store <n tin* world, doesn’t It? And yet that Is a fact. How many Atlanta peoplo knew they had something which was the largest In the world? The customer from New York found out some things about tills place that others didn't know. f course there are drug stores in the country that do more business— that Is, sell more goods—but for no other reason than that they have more people to sell to. Hut none of them has a better stock—one that Is n varied and one that contains almost any remedy or preparation known to the civilized world—than Ims Jacobs' Pharmacy. <\v people possibly know, or If they Good Printing And wish to show that it is the product of Atlanta pi-inters, ask for this label: It <*an he had for the asking at the following job offices: SVL.

And nil day long these people, with the aid of the most mod ern machinery known to the drug-mtx- er’s art, are making pharmaceutical preparations, pills, capsules, powders, salts—In fact, anything needed In the drug line. 'Not buying them already made In Hoboken or some other place.' but manufacturing them right here In Atlanta. It Is also true that this famous At lanta Pharmacy has the'largest retail drug store In the country and for hun dreds of miles about Atlanta do orders come dally by the thousands through the malls to be filled. THs Mail Order Business. It takes help to attend to these or ders and because of this the entire third floor over Nos. 6 and 8 Marietta street Is devoted exclusively to the all order buslnfss. The second floor over tbeso two num bers In devoted entirely to the manu facturing laboratory, while the second floor over Nos. 8 and 10 Marietta street Is devoted to rubber goods exclusively, and this stock Is one that Includes everything Imaginable and one thnt I* hardly equaled anywhere In the coun try. Speaking of what that customer found In the way of Christmas pres ents, he said at the time that the pieces of art work and other things he bought were 20 per cent cheaper than the same thing* in a grade not so fine In Wana- tnaker’s and Macy's In New York. That * where the birthplace of cut prices omes In. This pharmacy was founded In 1804 by Dr. James A. Taylor and was taken charge of by Dr. Joseph Jacobs In 1884. In 189.1 Charles A. Smith became asso ciated with Dr. Jacobs. There I* a reason why Atlantn has a store of this kind that Is blocks ahead* of anything else. It was Intended that | this hould be the case. Evsry Nsw Ides. Several times a year Mr. Smith takes I trips to New York. Chicago, Boston,' Philadelphia and other large cities of* the country and he makes It a point to visit what are supposed to be ttm most up-to-date and modern drug stores In] the country. If there Is anything Iwj thinks can he Improved upon, he makes ! a note am* soon after he arrives back In ' Atlanta that Improvement Is made. Dr. Jacobs does the same kind of traveling In Europe, and as a result, both members of this enterprising firm see that no stores In the world get ahead of Atlanta and Jacobs* Phnr- ncy. You might not believe It If told that j a man tried to get a cake of soap In many of the prominent New York drug stores, couldn't and had to wait until he got to Atlanta. Rut this actually was the case. The soap, however, was a very expensive kind Imported from Eu rope* imd the New York peoplo laughed when told by the man that he knew he could get It at Jacobs* Pharmacy down j Jn Atlanta. If you can’t get It here In New York." they said, "you never will find It In this country." He did, though. He found It at 8 and S .Marietta street, Jacobs' Pharma cy, the Hirthplnce of Cut Prices. Spltndid Importations. Regarding those Christmas presents the bargain seeking customer bought. It might be well to state thnt he se lected them from what I* the largest importation of art goods from abroad thnt ever came through the custom house. There were two ^olld car loads of these gotids from Germany. Switzer land and Italy and It took Dr. Jacobs over three months to select them. Bx- • quisle* marble miniatures from Italy. 1 biunses, docks and other things along this line that are not now and never >ere produced In this country. And with it all this customer found the prices 25 per cent lower than the found them In the famous New* York stores. It I* doubtful If there Is a larger Im- !** r;ed nrt stock in the country today than that to be ound In Jacobs* Phar macy. | Hut with all th * magnificent stock of goods that makes the Interior of the big store look like a department or Jewelry store, It is the drug business that those who have made Jacobs' Pharmacy famous are proud of. In that store Is to be found the best and most varied and largest assortment of drugs to be found anywhere In the South and nowhere In the country Is there any better. The' prescription department, where these drugs are compounded for the sick,Is a feature of this big business i?y Itself. There is a large force of clerks nt work there dally and one good thing about this department Is that these clerks don’t know* a thing about the other branches of the business. If you happened In Jacobs’ Pharmacy and chanced to ask a prescription clerk If he was In the front part of the store, the price of a certain work of art or a bottle of patent medicine or a cake of soap, he wouldn’t know any more It thun you do. All Are Specialists. That Isn’t what Jacobs* Pharmacy pays him for and he Is not expected to know* any prices or anything else about the business except thnt part where prescriptions are compounded. These prescription clerks remain In their own department and they attend strictly to their own business. As a result they are not interrupted and consequently they give better work and more care ful attention to the compounding of prescriptions. This Is something else this bargain- seeking customer looked Into before he puld his hill. Now, In order to deliver nil these goods that are sold It Is necessary for considerable help and equipment. Of course Uncle Sam delivers thousands of dollars' worth of goods a week through the malls, but even at that It takes a large force of hands to get these things ready for Unde Sam. In addition there are four delivery mgons, ten bicycle messengers and a motor cycle deliver)*. Anti this business Is not only a mam moth one In the big store at Nos. 6, 8 and 10 Mariettu street. So large Is the business of the Jacobs' Pharmacy that another store In Atlanta Is necessary to omniodate the business. Everybody knows where it la—at Whitehall and Alabama streets. And besides this there is another one over In Birm ingham. If It was worth the while of a wise customer from the North, bent on sav ing a dollar or two, to visit Jacobs’ Pharmacy In Atlanta and find out how this Atlanta institution had John Wan- a maker’s benten n block, might It not be worth your while? It’s necessary sometimes for an out sider to come and tell you what a good thing you have.

Paul Burkert, No. 1 Viaduct Place. "Sleeping Beauty and the Beast.” It’s too near Christmas to have a grouch on, and after the first five min utes the audience at the Grand Wed nesday night decided to go ahead and enjoy the show anyway. • And If you look at It that way, why. It Isn’t so bad. Of course It Is like a ghost of the original extravaganza, rather thin In spots, rather weak In music, negative In other qualities. But there are half a dozen good vaudeville people In the cast who forget all about the play and do some really clever stunts at odd times. The woman's brass band Is a winner and the audience kept the first old man standing on one leg down stage for half an hour before the band was permitted to toot Us last bar. it w*as hard on the old man, and hard on the band—but the boys upstairs liked It. "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" will give a matinee Thursday afternoon and close Its engagement on Thursday night. G. D. G. At the Bijou.

Throughout the five acts she Is the saucy, mischievous and win some Mar)*. Her work Is full of sur prises and decidedly original. Miss Day Is young and magnetic. The play is beautifully staged from the opening scene to the last act and the costuming la remarkable for Its leanllness and good taste. "When Knighthood Was In Flower” should do a splendid business this week, despite the fact that the weather is bad and Atlantans are rather busy with their Christmas shopping. Full of fun, bright music and sclntll luting with color Is "Me, Him and I,’ which conies to the Bijou theater for a week’s engagement next Monday night. Hilly Watson. Mike Kelly and Billy Ar lington, who portray the chief charac ter roles, are certainly comedians of the first water, and they are well backed by a good company, In which John J. McCowan is a rare character. The play Is full of catchy music and one of it* principal features Is a large chorus of men and girls. The latter are handsomely costumed and add a pleasing variety to the fun. Four mat inees will be given next week. Baldwin-Malvilla Stock Company. Beginning Thursday night the play nt the El Dorado I* the beautiful Southern military drama, "My Ken tucky Home," which deals with the love of a Southern girl and a Northern officer during the civil war.

He learned other things besides those he went there to study, and declared recently that noth ing could Induce him to comer any thing unless It were a good play. "Of course, that’s a speculation, hut you can always comer the dramatist, too, and make him deliver a happy ending. That’s something I didn’t sec once among those frenzied financiers." Air. Murphy wlH be seen at the Grand on Monday and Tuesday nights and Tuesday matinee In "A Corner in Cof fee.” “Richard Mansfield.” Coming events cast their shadows be fore and the coming of Mansfield is much In"evidence. At the box office of the Grand, where the great actor Is to appear on Thursday night, they are preparing ft printed slip of answers to the hundreds of questions which In quisitors are asking at all hours of the day. However, this very annoyance Is a healthy, happy sign for the manage ment. It Indicates the enthusiastic In terest In the coming of Mansfield, who Is known to give the finest stage rep resentation of any artist of his gen eration. It used to be the fashion to look abroad to the Italian, French, Ger man or English stages for the most fin ished expression of the theater’s pos sibilities. Mansfield has actually wrenched the palm from abroad and planted the highest standard of acting, stage management and general artistic liberality tore In America. His gener ation owe him a debt of gratitude they cannot wipe out for his untiring efforts for a lofty, pure, literary and Inspired stage. ' Mansfield Is accompanied by 106 people. He travels by special train of eleven cars. He will be seen here as the lying, bragging. lovable scamp, "Peer Gynt," his greatest character, which tests the full range of this great actor’s versatility. Ths 8tar.
