Mr. R. N. Etheridge who is in the Chicago markets picking up bargains for the New York Store writes the following interesting letter which will be of interest to the readers of this paper. | RATES $2.50 TO $lO-00 PER DAY | STRICTLY FIREPROOF THE MORRISON HOTEL Chicago, 111.., Au 6* 1915 Dear Friend-I I am in Chicago attending an annual event, known as "Market Week and Fashion Show." It is an occasion of importance from many stand points to one who desires authentic information as to the Correct Styles and Fashions, it is almost indispensable. It is an education for one who wants to get and give out to his customers and patrons the best of to be had. It is largely attended by thousands of buyers, Merchants and Manufacturers from all parts of the United States and abroad. We exchange ideas and methods of what, where and when to buy, and how to sell goods in a progressive and intelligent way. Doctors at tend lectures and read all the new publications on medicine and surgery: Lawyers have to be informed on points and changes of the law--both State and National, to be successful and employed: Teachers go away and study to better prepare themselves that they may be more useful in their chos en profession, and so on. That's what I'm here for--going to school, if" you want to call it that. Learning all I can regarding styles, values, etc., that I may better please and serve my customers the coming season. We are planning the greatest retail campaign ever attempted by any one firm in that part of the good old State of Georgia. There will be good times, good prices, lots of money and no Boog-a-Bear of war, as last 'year, which, after all, talk hurts us worse. The harvest will find us all happy, in high speed, with a full head of steam. I will promise you there will be no dull times around THE OLD RELIABLE NEW YORK STORE this fall and winter. I am planning now, and buying with this in view. Chicago is the largest and most central market for Dry Goods in the U. S.--being second city in size. As you know they are large makers of Suits, Coats, Dresses and Millinery too, besides what one sees here in the large wholesale houses and in the largest retail stores in the world and on the street, in the way of new styles, colors and materials. Chicago as a city has arranged a VERY unique and instructive pro gram at the Midway Garden--a summer resort for the visitors, every even ing during their stay. On an immense stage of beautiful furnishings and scenery are two hundred living models wearing and displaying every imag inable style and oolor of the latest creation known to the fashion world —both local and foreign. I wish that all my customers that care for, and admire beautiful costumes as I do, could see the grand exhibition of costly wearing apparel of the newest and latest conception as to styles and fabric. An orchestra of over one hundred pieoes furnish music for the occasion, directed by the well known Max Bendix. Another novel idea staged by the Manufacturers of Chicago in 4 acts with appropriate stage scenery, setting and costumes are as follows: The first number sets forth a street scene in the early morning, the space being devoted lar ely to a spacious show window in a modern store. As the scene pro gresses, the window curtains are raised, displaying a number of models. Customers pass the store and select one of the dresses for inspection. This gives the living models in the windows an opportunity to walk about and display the gowns. The second number represents a modern Horse show, with a display of high class garments appropriate for such occasions. The third number is a garden party scene, in which the guests arrive in motor cars, thus providing ample means for displaying the various kinds of wraps and gowns. The fourth number, an evening ball room scene. All living models, of course. This beautiful out door plaisance is admirably fitted for such an occasion, and is of un told benefit to all interested in the manufacture or sale of goods. I have the satisfaction of knowing that I have seen it all here, and I hope to have the result of my visit reflected in all departments of our store and stock this fall and winter. I will go to New York on or about 15th of August on the same mission. I will be VERY HAPPY to serve you in any capacity at any time. I extend a special invitation to visit and make our store your headquar ters this fall and winter. Yours truly, R. N. ETHERIDGE. Butts County News WOOD LAWN Mr. and Mrs. S. K.
