GIRLS TO SHOW FACTORY
GOODS IN THE MAKING
The rattling sound of hundreds of
hammers, the buzz of saws, the whirr
of machinery being given a final try
out, and, above all. the sharp com
mands of foremen ring through the
Auditorium-Armory today. Twenty
four hours hence all will be different,
for all of today's rush and bustle is in
preparation for the opening tomorrow
night at 8 o’clock of the first Atlanta
manufacturers exposition and the
greatest exposition of its kind ever
held in the South.
Every available inch of floor space
has been taken for more than a week,
and now nearly all of the exhibits are
in place and workmen are toiling day
and night to put on the finishing
touches to booths and exhibits.
Atlanta-made goods will be shown
and scores of Atlanta manufacturers
will show their goods in the making.
Such an exhibit calls for the installa
tion of costly and intricate machinery,
which has to be set up by experts,
many being sent from the factories.
Atlanta manufacturers are not sparing
the dollars to make their exhibits worth
coming far to see. They want the peo
ple of the South to know what is made
here and how it is made, and they ex
pect the hundreds who attend the
Southern Merchants convention during
the exhibition to get a greater idea of
Atlanta as a manufacturing center than
they have ever dreamed of before.
Governor to Open Show.
The great show will open tomorrow
night, when Governor Joseph M. Brown
touches the tiny electric button which
will set all the machinery in motion.
Previous to that the governor will make
a speech. R. F. Maddox, former mayor
of Atlanta, also will speAk and Wilmer
L. Moore, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, will preside over the open
ing and introduce the speakers. But
there will be little speech-making.
“It is a time for action and not for
speaking," agreed the directors, when
they laid out the plans for opening
night, and the governor and former
mayor heartily agreed with them.
Music will be furnished in plenty on
the opening night, for the splendid
band of the Atlanta Fifth regiment will
play on that occasion and all the pop
ular airs and old-time Southern fa
vorites will be rendered.
In the exhibits which pack the main
auditorium and overflow into Taft hall
and through the lobby there is every
thing that could be imagined from en
velopes to barbed wire. Shoes will be
made, wire nails will be drawn, over
alls and pants will be shown coming
from the machines controlled by the
swift fingers of a score of pretty girls,
and envelopes will be cut out. folded
and pasted, right where people can see
how this intricate piece of work is
done.
Auditorium Prettily Decorated.
Few people know how many hundreds
of things are manufactured in Atlanta.
By attending the exopsition they will
get to see numbers of them, ranging
from lumbering auto trucks to plows
and dainty candy.
In preparation for the show, the Au
ditorium has been handsomely deco
rated. Above the main hall spreads a
canopy of green and white cloth which
required hundreds of yards of material.
To look at it is refreshing, for it seems
like the sky on a cool, cloudy day.
Above hang from the canopy myriads
of flags, which add just the right touch
of color to the scene. The ornamental
hangings extend down the sides and
hide from view the tiers of seats which
are not needed in the exposition.
Plenty of room is provided in the
broad aisles between the booths, and.
for the women and children who may
tire of standing on their feet, there are
seats where the horse show boxes
stood.
The exhibits will be in charge of
trained operators, who will explain
everything to visitors and will give

faces will add to the general attrac
tiveness of the place.
What a hard time some of the manu
facturers had in persuading their* girl
operatives to consent to run their ma
chines before the public eye can only
be understood after a talk with one man
who has spent the past week talking
his employees into this. He is Nathan
Levine, manager for Marcus Loeb &
Co., manufacturers of overalls and

"The nomen of the South are differ

said to Frank Weldon, manager of the
exposition.

"Why, 1 have had to offer to double
all these girls' wages for the time they
are on duty in the Auditorium, and on

a dog to get their consent.
"Now, I've been in this same business
37 years and I know what I’m talking
about. Up North'.’ Why. the women
and girls in any establishment would
welcome a chance like this. The very
novelty of it would appeal to them, not
to speak of the release from the grind
of a long day’s work.
"Down South! Oh. these women you
have here are the most modest and
shrinking creatures 1 ever saw. They
just don’t want to appear in public. T
can't understand if."
But Mr. Levine has obtained the con
sent of about a score of his operatives
to carry on the public demonstration,
for he, in common with hundreds of
other Atlanta manufacturers, wants to
show what Atlanta is doing in that
line.
ChamberlindohnsoirDußose Company
ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS
The BARGAINS That This Store Offers
From Day to Day Are Not Recorded
in The Advertisements
The fact is, as trite and as commonplace as it
may seem to the skeptical,some of the best values
that arise here never see the light of publicity, but
are carried off from day to day by those who visit
the store.
A little word of honest explanation about this
may mean the saving of many dollars to you in
your monthly purchases.
The whole thing resolves itself into a question
of honest advertising. When we call your atten
tion through the newspapers to bargains, you
may know that the values are exactly what we
claim for them. BARGAINS seldom go begging,
merchandise that is underpriced usually finds pur
chasers. So much so that when we go to,adver
tise reductions we first see that we have enough
of the merchandise to warrant the whole buying
public of Atlanta to share. If we have not, we
either state the fact that the quantity is limited
or we do not advertise it at all, but reduce prices
and leave the merchandise to the pleasure of those
who see it on the counters.
Our ideas of honest advertising leave us no
choice. We must reduce to the minimum the pos
sibilities of disappointing those who come in re
sponse to our announcements.
And so it is that many small lots of splendid
values are daily put on the counters and disposed
of without the general public ever hearing of them.
Right now there are some most unusual reduc
tions on colored flaxons, laces, embroideries and
on a few odd bath mats. Whether they will be
here tomorrow or not we do not know—but cer
tainly others will. So become a regular visitor to
this store; whenever you have shopping to do, start
here. These unadvertised specials are as broad as
the stocks of this store; very, very few of women’s
needs could not at one time or another be found
among them.

MONTCLAIR, N. J.. July 30.—Mrs.
William Elder Marcus, Jr., did not stop
even to see her two children, who were
in charge of their governess, on her
farewell visit to her husband's roof, it
was learned today. The former Cali
fornia woman, who confesses the cal! of
the wild is stronger than any family
ties, was interviewed early today as
she stood in a blacksmith’s shop ca
ressing one of her saddle horses. She
was having the anima! shod preparato

she did not say.
She said she thought more of the.
saddle horse than of her millionaire
husband.
INVESTMENTS THAT PAY
Does an absolutely sound investment that will pay 10 or
15 per cent dividend yearly appeal to you? That is what dia
monds have been doing for their owners for the last ten years,
and there is no reason to believe but what such conditions will
continue. Dur showing is the largest and most thorough we
have ever offered, at prices, quality considered, temptingly low.
If you do not wish to pay all cash, allow us to suggest our
