POULTRY SHOW
TO END TONIGHT
Georgia Association Is Already
Planning for Bigger Ex
hibition Next Year.
This is the last day of the ninth
annua! show of the Georgia Poultry'
association. The classiest display of
fowls the South has ever known will
end tonight.
Tomorrow morning Superintendent
Frank < 'oil and his helpers will tackle
the tremendous job of shipping out the
fowls. It will take all day to get them
■at of the exhibition coops and back
into the shipping coops. And not be
fore Monday morning will the wreck
ing crew begin the task of taking down
the coops and of putting them away
until next season.
Those who attend the show today
can count on it confidentially that the
exhibition will remain intact until 10
o’clock tonight. No exhibitors will be
allowed to take their birds from the
pens until then. The complete show
will remain just as it is until the lights
go out.
Has Been Notable Show.
looking back over it—it has been a
grand show 7 . It is doubtful if in the
variety of birds shown it has ever
been equalled in Dixie. Every’ bird the
ordinary’ man ever heard of. and a
lot most everybody never heard of, has
been shown. More than that, they rep
resent all sections of the county —the
East, the North, the South and the
Southwest.
In the class of birds shown the exhi
bition has been without equal. Os
course some classes were stronger than
others. The Orpingtons topped the list.
This exhibit has been the best Orping
ton show that the South has ever
known. It is unlikely that in genuine
class there has ever been such a show
ing of Orpingtons in any city’ Atlanta's
siae or anywhere near it.
notable feature of the show
has been the range, variety and excel
lence of the special exhibition stock.
The fancy stuff shown by Briarcliff
farm is vastly’ above the average. It
is unlikely that any one owner in the
South owns so much or so valuable
stock as Mr. Candler.
G. P. A. Did Well.
The Georgia Poultry association de
serves unlimited credit for their show.
The handicaps under which it was giv
en will never be known except to the
few on the inside. The question of
money was not involved. i’here was
always plenty of money in sight to
run it. But vetything else w;s against
it and there was opposition—open and
secret —that made mutters difficult. For
one instance, a prominent poultry pub
lication ran a notice that the show had
been called olf. Whether this was a
mere mischance or a deliberate effort
to hurt the show will probably never be
known. But it was one example of
many’ handicaps under which the show
officials labored. Under a qoijptan*
rain of knocks and against an opposi
tion that was bitter and not always in
the open, the officials have gone ahead
with the show’ and by steady work and
by knowing how have given a show that
has set a new high-water mark in the
South.
The Georgia Poultry asociation is
in the field for good. It will give a
show next year, the year after and the
year after that. It was the first on the
field and It has come to stay. It knows
that Atlanta is entitled to the biggest
show In Dixie, and one of the biggest
tn America, and ft has made the right
moves to attain that end. It gave the
classiest show this year that the South
has ever known. It Is now going ahead
with plans for an even better one next
season.
EXPRESS OFFICE MOVED.
DOUGLAS, GA., Nov. 2.-—The Doug
las express office has been moved from
the Quincey & McDonald block to the
B. F. Hayes building on Peterson ave
nue near the A., B. & A. depot, being
more conveniently located.
Flagged Train With Shirt.
Tearing his shirt from his back, an
Ohio man flagged a train and saved it
from a wreck, but H. T. Alston, Ra
leigh. N. C., once prevented a wreck
with Electric Bitters. "I was in a ter
rible plight when I began to use them,”
he writes, “my stomach, head, back
and kidneys were all badly affected and
my liver was in bad condition, but four
bottles of Electric Bitters made me feel
like a new man." A trial will convince
y’ou of their matchless merit for any
stomach, liver or kidney trouble. Price
KO cents at all druggists. (Advt.)
“It is a pleasure to tell you that
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the
best cough medicine I have ever used,”
writes Mrs. Hugh Campbell, of Lavonia,
Ga, "I have used it with all my chil
dren and tie results have been highly
satisfactory." For sale by all dealers.

TO open a new business in a city of
Atlanta's progressiveness that in
one or two months gains the rep
utation of being the city's finest and
most complete establishment in its line
is no small undertaking.
In no other line is competition irarder
and development further advanced than
in the automobile business, Atlanta has
always boosted of the best stores of the,
country in this line. To open a new
business under these conditions re
quired the utmost courage and determi
nation. and the two men. whose indom
itable wills have enabled them to sur
mount these obstacles in a most suc
cessful manner deserve the unqualified
approval of the public.
Few men in commercial lines have
accomplished a larger undertaking than
Messrs. Johnson and Gewinner. The
establishment of this business called
for brains, ability, energy, exceptionally
good taste and money. The automobile
has developed demands of a thousand
kinds. Almost every different branch
of manufacturing has felt its influence.
Clothing, rubber, hardware, electrical,
leather, clock and chemical manufac
turers are only a partial list of those
who have been affected by its develop
ment.
To keep pace with the constantly
growing demands of the automobile
and its users is a task that requires a
foundation of broad experience, con
stant application and persistent effort.
Johnson and Gewinner have a store
that covers every phase of the industry
and one that will arouse the admiration
and pride of each Atlanta citizen. Its
interest is amazing and the stock of
goods are bound to fascinate and charm
every automobile owner who enters it.
The knowledge of the mechanical
part of the automobile and the individ
uality and good taste displayed in the
selection of apparel and novelties
proves its owners to bi men of excel
lent Judgment, keen appreciation of
good values and thoroughly alive to th“
needs of the automobile trade. Every
line they handle is a specialty witli
them. All the concentration and
thought possible is put into even the
smallest detail. Always is manliest
tlie effort to make their business a eon-

and sent to Atlanta to take care of all
Bosch troubles, in securing this agency,'
Johnson-Gewinner Company have es
tablished their enterprise and progres
siveness. Knowing the long felt want
among owners, dealers anil garages of
a Ftosch branch in Atlanta. Gewfnner
went to the factory and put the propo
sition before the officials. The result
was the placing of a service station
for the South in the hands of his com
pany.
The doors of the 85 North Forsyth
street store are being widened in ordet
to allow cars to be driven into the shot
from the street. This will also make
the special work such as putting on
speedometers, bumpers, carburetors,
etc., more easily accomplished.
The Personnel.
Than John K. Gewinner. president
and general manager, there is possibly
no man as well known in automobile
circles. Affable, energetic and able, he
is at all times working, progressing and
bettering the conditions of his estab
lishment. He carefully watches the
markets and when some new and at
tractive idea is conceived in automobile
accessory and supply lines he elthei
wires for goods or makes a special trip
to the metropolitan centers. If the
stock is right and the idea practical,
he purchases the article for his store.
This fact insures Southern motorises
of an establishment where every new
conception of any worth may be found
almost the instant it is offered to the
New York public.
Marshall Johnson, secretary and
treasurer, while a newcomer in auto
mobile lines, is widely known through
out this section. Among those who
know him he enjoys an enviable repu
tation for sound business sense and
sheer ability. His long experience tn
the banking business makes him a val
uable asset as a financial man for the
new firm.
That the establishment of Johnson-
Gewinner has come to Atlanta to stay,
goes without saying, and as it grows
older and larger it will become one of
lb. bulwarks of retail business in At
lanta a veritable paradise for the en
thusiastic motorist. (Advt.)
