with the bankruptcy of Ernest T.
Hooley, a British financier who
made his fortune in the manu
facturing of bicycles and who, ac
cording to the article, “bought a
yacht which formerly belonged to
the Prince of Wales and lived in
Lordly style.”
The only other item of any
length is one dealing with a sub
ject that was forever making the
headlines and is doing so even to
day. Carrying a head line, “French I
Ministers Resign in A Body”, the
article explains how the ministers
placed their resignations at the
disposal of the premier, when they
in a manner typical of French
ministers, disapproved of his pol
j c j es . |
The inside pages are filled with ;
more war news and other news I
items of general interest, The
commencement exercses of the
Lucy Cobb girls in Athens is de
scribed in full as is the returns
of an election in Oregon.
Much advertising is carried but
it hardly compares with the full
page and double page spreads of
today, an ad of only 14 column
inches being the largest carried.
One Atlanta candy manufacturing
firm, still in operation today, ad- i
vertices it wares as “healthy and !
positively fattening.” I
There is much patented medi-1
cine advertising of the reader type 1
and much railroad advertising, j
which pointed towards the trends
of the time by offering special
rates on excursions. One interest
jng adver ti s ement offers a set of
“best teeth” for only $8 and a set
of “good teeth” for $5. The firm,
then located on Whitehall Street,
stated that they did “only first
class work” and that they “were
responsible for it.
Throughout the paper are found
small advertisements of sundry
things that only the older people
of today would remember. Such
things as ‘fly fans, to keep the
tlies away while you were sleep
ing are no longer used. Bicyc es,
w'hilestillusedtoday.arenojong
er advertised for use in the fresh
air and sunshine to bung roses
to toe cheek.
Several brands of baking pow
der, still being advertised and us
ed extensively today, are among
the advertised products as ar_
several widely known pa en e
medicines.
