THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
After
Prohibition
What?
Within a week the State of Georgia will re
tire from the channels of trade several millions
of dollars heretofore engaged in a legalized
branch of commerce.
What will that mean to the business inter
ests of the State? Whatever it means for Geor
gia this year, it will for Alabama next.
How much of the money now spent for
liquor will follow it to a new abiding place and
have it anyway plus the express? A certain
percentage, of course, for the old toper will
have his dram, but the temptation will be re
moved from the young.
The greatest saving will come to the labor
ing. man who needs it most. In many cases his
net income will be doubled, aud better still, his
earning capacity increased beyond measure, for
is not thrift and sobriety in every community
the cornerstone of good citizenship?
Here begins the interest of other citizens,
not of necessity prohibitionists.
Will not the vast sum heretofore spent for
spirits find its way into other lines of trade?
That’s the experience of every town that went
dry under Local Option. Thousands of capital
and hundreds of citizens employed in .the ex
tinguished traffic will find other profitable pur
suits. A place for them will be made hy the
vastly increased purchasing power of every
community.
To those contemplating a change of voca
tion rather than of residence, we invite atten
tion to the Shoe business as one of the great
staple industries that insures a living and
promises a competency to those who follow it
intelligently and conscientiously.
Why in a few years should not the great
Industry of Shoe Manufacturing in the South
take the place both in capital and employment
of this other mammoth traffic that expires in
Georgia with the early chimes of New Year’s
morning? For one, we believe it will.
The RED SEAL Shoe Factory in Atlanta
enters the New Year with a great lot of orders.
We believe the folks in the South are going to
wear Shoes made in the South.
We have sold scores of opening bills for de
livery in January. Anyone who thinks of go
ing into the Shoe business will make no mis
take to confer with us. The RED SEAL Sys
tem, where used exclusively, will underwrite
to do double the business on the same capital,
and Capital and Interest count today as never
before.
We invite correspondence. Salesman by
appointment.
