It Is Safer
to build with
Sheetrock
IT TOOD ceiling is a menace in any
Vy building.
Sheetrock is a protection, because Sheetrock
is lireproof. Made from rock —pure gypsum
cast in sheets —it will not burn, ignite or
transmit lire.
And as easy to work with as lumber. Saws
and nails readily. Goes up quickly—you just
nail it to the joists or studding.
Decorate with wall paper, paint, panels, orTex
tone, The Sheetrock Decorator. You don’t
need canvas with Sheetrock.
Sheetrock makes solid, tight-jointed, perma¬
nent walls at low cost. Made only by the
United States Gypsum Company.
Ask your lumber or building material dealer
for a sample and prices.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA PREPARES FOR
HEAVY FALL BUSINESS
The Central of Georgia Railway is making preparations to handle a heavy traf¬
fic this fall, and is relying upon the public to do its part so that prompt and ef i
cient transportation may prevent any delay or interruption to business.
All indications point to increased volume of business during the remaining
months of 1924. Prospects are brighter than they have been in years. The cotton crop
in Georgia promises to be larger than in any year since 1920; in Alabama more than
in any year since 1915, and is being rapidly marketed. Prices profitable to the pro¬
ducer are justified by conditions of supply and demand. Corn shows an increase in
price over last year, as does live stock. Watermelons were most satisfactory in vol¬
ume. Tobacco has brought millions of dollars to the growers. The yield and price of
peanuts have been most encouraging. Better marketing facilities for poultry products
have stimulated production and increased the return.
Agriculture is the basic industry of Georgia and Alabama. An increase in the pur¬
chasing power of the farmer creates an increase in transportation. That means the
purchase of more materials and supplies And the employment of more men. This in
turn stimulates retail trade. Reports are that merchants are buying more freely and
increasing their stocks. In this section every condition seems to justify the belief that
“good times are here again.”
The Central of Georgia has steadily added new equipment and has just placed
an order for additional locomotives. We have followed a consistent program of put
ting our locomotives and cars in good repair, improving and enlarging our facilities,
and devoting our attention to efficient car movement. As a result we find ourselves
ready to meet the growing demands of our patrons. Ninety-two per cent of our loco¬
motives and ninety-four per cent of our cars are in good order. We are increasing our
shop forces to improve further this excellent condition.
| There are certain simple and practicable means whereby the people may have a
hand in assuring efficient transportation. Tney should load cars to capacity. They
should load and unload cars with the utmost promptness. They should refrain from
ordering more cars than are sufficient for their daily requirements.
Consumers of coal should, without further delay, provide for their winter re¬
quirements. Failure to do so may cause the delay in delivery when the supply is most
needed. Even this far in advance of peak movement of fuel, there are no idle coal
cars on the Central of Georgia Railway.
By such means shippers and receivers 0 f freight may co-operate with the steps
taken by the railways to guard against a car shortage with its attendant disturbance
to business.
The Central of Georgia appreciate* the co-tfperation it has received and is daily
receiving from its patrons. It assures them of its willingness and its ability to give
them satisfactory service, and of its desire to merit their good will through such serv¬
ice.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.

SHEETROCK WALLBOARD MILL
PlaStereo, Va., Sept. 3.—Recent
opening of the Sheetrock wallboard
mill of the United States Gypsum
Company here means the launching
of a new industry for the Southeast.
The plant will manufacture 100,000
square feet a day of fireproof gyp
sum wallboard and will be the only
one in the Southeast producing this
building material.
This plant was built to enable
Georgians to obtain better walls and
ceilings at moderate cost. Before
now they have had to pay high
freight rates on wallboards made in
the North. But the Plasterco mill has
easy access to the Atlantic Coast
the Southern and L. & N. rail¬
roads and, through them, to the A.
B. & A., the Central of Georgia and
serving Georgia. That insures
low-cost deliveries to small
as well as the larger centers;
it means that lumber and build¬
supply dealer^ can get wall plast¬
ers, wallboard, lime and other pro¬

freight rates.
