12 THE ATLANTIAN ESSIG BROTHERS Prominent Business Men and Good Citizens, thing About Them New Accounts Invited \VfHATEVER YOUR REASONS FOR " * opening a bank account, whether the account be large or small, the ATLANTA NATIONAL BANK asks your considera tion; assuring you in return, absolute safety for your funds, and the very best of banking service. The officers of this bank extend to patrons every courtesy warranted by their business, balances and responsibility. They will be pleased to have a personal interview or enter into correspondence with those de siring to open a new account or to establish additional banking relations. Atlanta National Bank C. E. CURRIER, President F. E. BLOCK, Vice Pres. G. R. DONOVAN, Cashier J, S. FLOYD, Asst. Cashier J. S. KENNEDY, Asst. Cashier J. D. LEITNER, Asst. Cashier In these modern days we hear a good deal about adulterated foods and drugs, short weights, high finance, commercial exploitation, stock-jobbing and many other evils. These surface excrescences do not mean that the CRIS M. ESSIG, of Essig Bros. whole body politic is rotten to the core, but it does show that we have humors in the blood which crop out ,in I these forms, and time will show that I the body is strong enough to throw off these things and restore perfect ISAAC LIPSTINE, of Essig Bros. health. This is said because back of ali these surface indications is a great body of honorable business and pro fessional men pursuing their avoca tions steadily, patiently, faithfully and honorably. To this class belongs Essig Bros., of Atlanta. Essig Bros.’ success in their business, which is marked, is due to a thorough knowledge of the business, combined with the highest personal character. They have built up a business extending over a very wide area. It has been built up sole ly by the quality of the goods furnish ed and by the rigid integrity which has characterized every transaction. It is true that a business thus manag ed does not make a quick fortune like a successful turn in Wall Street, and, on the other hand, it does not lose one like an unsuccessful turn in Wall Street. It does, however, contribute something of positive and specific val ue to the community. It sets an ex ample which is of value. It lives up to obligations, which is of value, and it gives to its patrons, in return for their money, full value received by honest and prompt service. The man who conducts a business of this sort deserves credit. It is all very well to say that common honesty is a duty, and that nobody need be praised for it; but the human animal is so consti tuted that he appreciates a good word while he is living. There are too many post-mortem bouquets in the world. The good man is strengthened by words of encouragement, just as the wicked man is constrained by words of reproof, and it is just as much our duty to give the encouraging word to the good man as it is the word of re proof to the evil man. Such men as Essig Bros, are not only a credit to the business circles of the community, but are a valuable asset to any city. PIEDMONT LODGE, 190 I. 0. 0. P. Big Preparations Are Being Made to Attend Sovereign Grand Lodge Session—Degree Team Will Attend Session of Georgia Grand Lodge at Rome. Piedmont Lodge, 190 I. O. O. F., is making extensive preparations to at tend the next session of the sovereign Grand Lodge, and it goes without say ing that if this is what they have in mind—enough said because when this thriving lodge starts anything, they come very near carrying it out. The degree team will attend the session of the Georgia Grand Lodge which will be held in Rome this year and from what the writer can gather, there is no doubt that they will carry off the first prize at the session. “Hurrah for Piedmont.” Atlanta is long on talk, but short, ex ceedingly short, on civic performance. Whose fault is it? Let each man an swer for himself. Have YOU done YOUR part toward a betterment of conditions of the city. WM. SCHLEY HOWARD. Hon. Wm. Schley Howard, the young David in politics in the Fifth district, was a caller at the office of the At- lantian the first of the week. WM. SCHLEY HOWARD. Member of Congress, Who We Expect to Hear From in Washington. Mr. Howard is looking well, and says he never felt better. The At- lantian predicts that ‘‘Bill” will let the people of his district know he is in Congress before the close of the pres ent year. He is young, vigorous and a smooth mixer, and when he goes af ter his game, he usually lands it. LODGE 302, B. OF R. T. Altoona Lodge 302, B. of R. T., was the scene of one of the liveliest meet ings Sunday night held in a long time. The hall was comfortably filled with members of the lodge, and several visitors from out-of-town lodges were also present. Many good talks were made during the evening and the ini tiation of six hefty applicants added much to the enjoyment of the occa sion. The delegate, J. T. Seawell, to the next session of the Grand Lodge which is to be held in Harrisburg, Penn., is making all arrangements to leave here a few days in advance of the convention in order that he may visit some of the large cities in the East before the convention convenes. SNAP SHOTS. Stand at the corner of Pryor and Alabama streets and look each way; take a careful survey of the generally dirty condition of the streets—the mud in the gutters and the all-around air of neglect—and consider if it caus es your “Buzzum” to swell with pride because you are a citizen of Atlanta, no mean city. The location mention ed is in the center. It is much better than the average. Did you mention microbes 7
