If plans of the Georgia Chamber of C<Jtmrierce do not - haiScarry, Thanks
giving in Georgia this year will be eclipsed by Georgia Products Day, Tues
day, November 18th, according to official announcement just made.
On date in every progressive town and city in Georgia, thousands
of patriotic Georgians will dine promptly a't 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 not 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 offflcer of the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce, especial attention will be paid to making this dinner one
of the biggest things in recent years. It is to be a boost for Georgia goods"
that will secure advertising fot the state throughout the Union.
PRIZES FOR GEORGIANS.
The Georgia Chamber of Commerce will give the following prizes te
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 takea a tremendous 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 be in competition in the effort to give the best Georgia
Products dinner. From 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 V dinner held simulta
neously in all parts of the state cannot fail to awaken interest in the state
and the things it grows.
The Georgia 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.
The idea of the Georgia Products dinner grew out of the statement on
the official map of Georgia, issued by the Department 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 comforte
of life without importing a single article.
The more that idea was dwelt upon, the greater became its possibilitiee
for an advertisement of the state. At first it seemed to be j good to be
true," but further consideration showed that it is true, and then the idea
of the dinner sprang into existence that all the world may know what a
wonderful state Georgia is.
When broached to a number of prominent Georgians, every one hailed
It with delight, so the idea has become a plan and ita accomplishment will
be but a matter of days.
