GEORGIA PRODUCTS DAY, NOVEMBER 18,
WILL BE GENERALLY OBSERVED
Dinners of Only Grown-In-Georgia Foods Will Be Served in Every County.
Prizes of Ten Dollars Cash to Be Given by Georgia
Chamber of Commerce for Best Menus v
and Lists of Georgia Products.
If plans of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce do not miscarry, Thanks
giving in Georgia this year will be eclipsed by Georgia Products Day, Tues
day, November 18th, according to official announcement just made.
On that date in every progressive town and city in Georgia, thousands
of patriotic Georgians will dine promptly at 6 p. m. at tables laden exclu
sively with viands raised in Georgia. Everything on the menu must be
Georgia raised; the bread must be made from flour grown in Georgia; the
meats must have been raised and killed and prepared in Georgia; every
vegetable must be the product of Georgia soil, Georgia labor and Georgia
industry. No article will be permitted on the menu that has pot been pro
duced in Georgia, except those exotics impossible of growth here, such as
coffee, though it is stipulated that even that must have been roasted in
Georgia.
Governor Slaton will be asked to issue a proclamation, declaring No
vember 18th as “Georgia Products Day.” The Mayors of every city in the
state will be asked to issue similar proclamations, and every town where
there is a commercial organization, or an offlicer of the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce, especial attention will be paid to making this dinner one
of the biggest tilings in recent years. It is to be a boost for Georgia "goods”
that will secure advertising for the state throughout the Union.
PRIZES FOR GEORGIANS.
The Georgia Chamber of Commerce will -give the following prizes to
stimulate interest in the Georgia Products dinner:
SIO.OO for the best menu of Georgia Products.
SIO.OO for the best menu actually served.
The judges of the various classes will be announced later.
All contestants must write only on one side of the paper, must be resi
dents of Georgia, and must address their communications to The Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, 1001 Hurt Building, Atlanta, Georgia.
All lists of Georgia Products must be received by November 7th, and all
menus submitted for the prizes must be in hand by November 11th.
SCORES OF CITIES INTERESTED.
Though the idea is just newly born, it has taken a tremend9us hold
throughout the state, and assurances already received at the offices of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce indicate that not less than one hundred and
fifty cities will bo in competition in the effort to give the Georgia
Products dinner. Prom every section of the state, replies have been received
'indicating not merely interest, but enthusiasm over the idea and over the
results for Georgia, it being readily seen that such a dinnetf held simulta
neously in all parts of the state cannot fail to awaken interest in the state
and the things it grows. /
i The Goorgia Chamber will co-operate with towns giving the dinners by
furnishing for each out-of-town speakers of note who/will act as spell
binders and further stimulate enthusiasm and interest in the Georgia
Chamber. j
The idea of the Georgia Products dinner grew ouft of the statement on
the official map of Georgia, issued by the Departmen/t of Agriculture, to the
effect that a wall could be built around the State of/Georgia, and its present
population, with ten million more people added, could have all the comforts
of life without importing a single article. /
The more that Idea was dwelt upon, the gro/ter became its possibilities
for an advertisement of the state. At first It seemed to be "too good to be
true,” but further consideration showed that/it is true, and then the Idea
of the dinner sprang into existence that allf the world may know what g
wonderful state Georgia hr/ /
When broached to a number of prominent Georgians, every one hailed
it with delight, so the idea has become a/plan and its accomplishment will
be but a matter of days.
Sold Hogs by Telephone
I /
A South Carolina farmer had a large number
> of bogs which were ready to kill. The weather
, was so warm that killing was out of the question.
He went to his telephpne, called a dealer in
t Columbia oVer Long Distance and sold his hogs
ij at a good price. He then called the local freight
Ei office and arranged for shipment.
I The telephone is now a necessity on the farm.
You can have one on your farm at small cost.

15C COTTON
There are many lies being told to bluff the farmer out of
his cotton and keep him from filling his contract with
Corporation. This Corporation is for the purpose of getting
for the farmer the worth of his cotton. Who else is doing
this? Don’t go for advice to men who are fattening on y<rj
—use your own brains and get out of bondage. We shall gfet
15c PER POUND FOR EVERY BALE OF COTTON DELIVERED TO CjR,
and next year we shall be in business to get it again for th***
who are with us this year.
Our agent at Cochran is J. P. ROOSEVELT.
Deliver your cotton to him for us. /
