THE ATLANTA SPIRIT OF LIBERALITY
TLANTA has created for Herself a
splendid spirit of Liberality. Her
citizens have given freely of their
money, their time, their brains and
their energy to the accomplishment of
an unexcelled result. No worthy enterprise of
benefit to the general citizenship has ever been
known to fail. A willingness to co-operate, to
work the one for the other, all for Atlanta’s up
building, is characteristic of the Gate City of
the new and progressive South. The Spirit of
Liberality is infectious—is contagious. The
people do unto the city as they would be done
by; they help each other; they help new arriv
als in their midst.
Under such conditions ambition is born
anew. Enthusiasm, personal and civic, pre
vails. Persistency and energy, directed by in
telligent citizenship and progressive business
methods, bring success.
YOU can be successful if you will but try.
The first step is to come to Atlanta. She has
extended a welcome to the manufacturer, the
wholesaler, the retailer, the homeseeker, the in
vestor, the wage-earner. She has promised to
help them, You are one of them. She will help
you. Her manufacturing advantages are many;
Her location as the logical center of distribution
is of great prestige to the jobber; Her attrac
tions as a retail center are manifold; Her offer
ings to the wage-earner are legion.
We began business in Atlanta with the
Georgia Railway and Electric Company and the
Atlanta Gas Light Company many years ago.
We immediately imbibed freely of the “Atlanta
Spirit.’.’ There is no more helpful business tonic.
It has been our pleasure to contribute in the
best way we knew how to the upbuilding of the
city. We have provided the Municipality Ideal
with $12,000 worth of transportation annually,
a courtesy extended to the police, detective and
fire departments for a better protection of the
business enterprises and the homes. It has been
our pleasure to supply transportation, the esti
mated value of which is $500 per month, to each
of the daily papers, that they might secure
quick and certain transportation for their pub
lications in order to serve subscribers with the
least possible delay. It has been our cheerful
custom to subscribe $1,000 annually to the state
fairs, frequently supplying electric current free
that the grounds might be well lighted. We
sought to contribute to the pleasure of the chil
dren and animal lovers by subscribing $1,000
annually for five years to purchase animals for
the zoo at Grant Park. It was the Atlanta Spirit
of Liberality which prompted us to give $10,000
toward the fund necessary for the construction
of the proposed handsome Armory-Auditorium.
The same compelling force was at work when
we subscribed $50,000 to the proposed 1910 ex
position. We are ready at all times to con
tribute to any enterprise for the general good.
And all the time we gave the citizens an un
excelled street railway service — clean cars,
quick schedules, universal transfers, courteous
treatment—bringing suburban property to
within fifteen, twenty and thirty minutes of the
heart of the business center.
We supply electric current at prices as low
as any company under similar conditions in the
world. This is a special advantage to the
manufacturer, be he of large or small propor
tions, operating engines or sewing machines.
Our gas plant affords every advantage for bus
iness or household purposes—for power, light
or cooking. You can operate your engine or
your wife may cook your dinner without cook
ing herself.
In all departments we strive to supply the
very best possible service at the very lowest
possible cost to the consumer. If there is any
complaint, we want to know it. An intelligent
fault-finder frequently points the way to great
er efficiency.
And in the meantime if you desire any in
formation concerning Atlanta and her manifold
advantages we will furnish it cheerfully.
