THIS NEW PLANT IN AMERICUS
ADDS ANOTHER GREAT INDUSTRY
Substantia! Brick Buildings Erected Here By Sawyer &
Industrial Americas —the payroll
portion that counts so much in a
city's commercial growth, is about '3
receive a very substantial addition a
the enlarged plant of W. H. Sawyer
& Sons, for many years an important
industry here and one that is well
known in every country upon th«
globe.
This may seem a broad assertion,
but it is literally true, for every civ
ilized nation uses the product of W.
H. Sawyer & Sons, an article “Made
in Americus.”
And th.'3 legend is stamped upon
every machine turned out by this
company, “Made in Americus.”
For several years past Sawyer &
Sons have manufactured here the
Sawyer-Fulford revolving scales and
sacking machines —a wonderful de
vice which measures and weighs any
commodity that is put up in bags. Ev
ery mill in Americus uses this scale.
Every mill of consequence in Geor
gia uses the Sawyer-Fulford scale.
They are used in Russia, in China, in
Japan and the islands of the Orient.
The coffee plantations of Java use
them, Egypt’s corn and wheat is thus
measured. All over the globe th*
Sawyer scales are used.
A simple device —“Made in Ameri
cus”—but the world wants it, for the
reason that it is t.he best, practical
scale the world has ever seen.
Four hundred of these scales are
being made in Americus this year, and
every pair is sold already.
Moreover, the company is in posi
tion to deliver its entire product for
j a long period of years to a great
Northern concern, if it so desires.
No trouble to sell the 'Sawyer-Ful
ford scale. It sells itself.
For several years the company has
operated here in modest shops, though
well equipped with latest and most
modern machinery. But the business
has outgrown the present quarters,
and now the Sawyer & Sons plant is
being re-built. An immense brick

POSTUM I
“There’s a Reason” I
building is going up—the new home
of the Americus plant.
At Furlow street and the Seaboard ]
railway the company is erecting a
large brick structure fronting 117
feet on the railway, and with ample
depth. The first floor will contain
the well equipped scales manufactur
ing plant.
On the second floor will be offices
and finishing department. Adjoining
this will be the new foundry build
ing—all of brick —seventy by ninety
feet in dimension.
In this will be installed the most
powerful machinery—all modern and
labor-saving. The large building now
occupied as machine shops will be
moved to another portion of the yards
and utilized as a minor department.
The Sawyer scales and sacking ma
chine is the greatest labor-saving
device known to scaiedom. In the
great flouring mills, corn mills, rice
mills, fertilizer plants, they have su
perseded all others. It is the inven
tion of the Sawyers, and the world
locks to Sawyer and Americus for
its scales.
Jn the new plant in Americus
the finest equipped machine shop
south of Macon —every part of the
Sawyer-Fulford scales will be made.
Forty skilled machinists will be em
ployed there. It will be a big in
dustry in Americus.
This scale is so delicately adjust
ed that a hag when filled with any
commodity from a pound of feathers
to 350 pounds sugar can be weighed
upon it, the beam falling at the de
sired niche. The arms carry either
two or three bags, as desired, and
absolutely accuracy in weighing is
guaranteed.
The Sawyer-Fulford Co. will make
a fine exhibit in Atlantic City in Ju
ly at a national manufacturers’ show
there, and all of the machines will
have been “made in Americus” in
the spacious brick buildings now b
ing erected.
IT FLOWS IN ATLANTA
LIKE A MILL STREAM
Plenty of Licker on Tap at
Capital
l, Atlanta, April 29. —That enormous
quantities of liquor are now coming
into the city for blind tiger purposes
is the statement made by Councilman
John E. McClelland, author of the or
dinance requiring common carriers to
report receipts of all liquor shipments.
Mr McClellnd says all but two or
three of the common carriers are now
complying with this law, and that
there is no excuse if the police do not
unearth the blind tigers which are
handing the stuff. 'Mr. McClelland
says the reports show one man re
ceived 1,500 pints one day and 1,000
pints the day following. It is need
less to say, he remarked, that he was
not buying this for personal consump
t.on.

‘ Throw Out the Life Line”—
The kidneys need help.
They’re overworked—can’t get the
poison filtered out of the blood.
They’re getting worse every minute.
Will you help them?
Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought
thousands of kidney sufferers back
from the verge of despair.
Will cure any form of kidney trouo e
A. C. Alexander, 182 Spring St.,
Americus Ga , says: “My back caused
me much suffering and the constant
pain made it impossible for me to at
tend to my work. The kidney secre
tions were too freqent in passage and
at night I was obliged to get up sev
eral times. Hearing Goan's Kidney
Pills highly spoken of, I decided to
try them and procured a supply. The
results of their use wero surprising
and satisfying. My trouble was soon
disposed of and I have had no cause
for complaint since. I heartily rec
ommend Doan's Kidney Pills in return
so- what they did for me.”
For sale by all dealers. Price 50

Remember the name—Doan’s —and
take no other.
Anyway, when a man accuses his
wife of having married him for his
money he pays a tribute to her good
sense.
A widow says that husbands remind
her of pictures in patent medicine ad
vertisements reversed; there is such a
difference before and after taking.
