The Southern Israelite
Continued Progress
Continued Progress has long been
the watch-word of I he Evening
Georgian and Sunday American.
Our readers have already seen the
Food Section which is now a part
of our Friday pa per. We do no t clai m
to cover more of the Atlanta mar
ket than we do, more than Audit
Bureau of Circulation figures can
support, and we take this opportu
nity to recommend to those readers
of The Southern Israelite who do
not read our newspaper that they
examine our daily editions, study
our Modern Foods Section next
Friday.
I his is the first Foods Section
ever made a part of a regular news
paper in Atlanta. Other news
papers may begin publishing one
later; but the progressive Georgian
conceived the idea and started the
first one.
Progress breeds progress, attracts
progressive people. That’s why
The Evening Georgian’s audience
embraces the most progressive peo
ple of Atlanta. They are the people
the merchant must reach. The con
servative audience spends its money
only when necessary. But in this
day the necessities of life are not all
that is lor sale. It you are in busi
ness, build it on this youthful
minded market. If you would read
the news ot this modern world,
read The Evening Georgia regular
ly .. . Progress. . . .
