DECEMBER 1ST, \T JEWISH WOMAN S ( LI B ABRAHAM GOLDBERG Mr. Abraham Goldberg, one of the leaders of the Zionist movement in America and one of the most promi nent figures in Jewish journalism, a member of the Administrative (Com mittee of the Zionist Organization of America and of the Greater Actions Committee of the World Zionist Or ganization, is one of the most popular figures in American Jewish life. Gift ed with an extraordinary facile pen, brilliant orator he has made a distinct place for himself in Zionist and Jew ish life in this country. M r. Goldberg came to this country about twenty-five years ago. In the* little Russian town in which he passed his early years he had already won for himself a double reputation as a schol ar and as a Zionist orator. In America, Mr. Goldberg threw himself, from the first days of his arrival into the Zion ist movement, showing the mature gifts of tongue and pen which have won him prominence in the Zionist movement. He studied law at New York University. When the Zionist movement in this country was an obscure and derided phenomenon, the possession of a few dreamers, Mr. Goldberg was one of its staunchest supporters. Today, as a member of its Administrative Com mittee and as one of the outstand ing personalities, Mr. Goldberg has achieved marked distinction in the Jewish life of this country. He has returned just a short time ago from Palestine where he was an eye witness to the recent Arab atrocities. His reports on the present situation in Palestine and in the Zionist work have aroused wide-spread discussion. Mr. Abram Goldberg will speak in Atlanta at the Jewish Woman’s Club, December 1st, under the auspices of the Zionist District of Atlanta—Rabbi Epstein and Rabbi Geffin will intro duce him to the people of Atlanta. The men in charge of all arrange ments are Dave Meyer, Louis Isaac son, Max M. Cuba, J. Dorfan, Joe Goldstein, and Meyer Rich. ... Gonrgi;i*s Liu*^ k sf niv... W I I IIIN the city o I Atlanta the audience o! I he Atlanta Georgian-Anieriran represent* the second largest city in Georgia some •>7,000 homes. It is a progressive city, consti tuted ol open-minded people, not opinionated and not sot in their ways. \\ ere they opinion ated and set in their wavs they would not have become Georgian-Anieriean readers, because The ( ieorgiaii-Ainerican is not edited to appeal to the old-fashioned prejudices and impulses. In Atlanta there are 1,100 headquarters for tlit* South of national and international hem*. These firms have brought into Atlanta thousands of people who had no previous ideas of old-fashioned newspapers. A metropolitan newspaper was what most of them were accus tomed to, as they came from hig metropolitan renters. These people give Atlanta its metro politan atmosphere which visitors are quick to note and comment on as being unique in the South. These are important people, they make good salaries and spend those salaries, for they arc not the close-fisted type. Also, there were of course many native horn Atlantans who held similar ideas of progressiveness, and they are also a part of the Georgian-Anieriean city. They represent together the most impres sionable portion of the Atlanta market. Reach them in The Georgian-Anieriean, the only pro gressive newspaper in Atlanta. The only At lanta newspaper with a Merchandising Service department offering national advertisers win dow service, a retail trade paper, an exclusive foods section, and many other progressive serv ices in this progressive city.
