States court here to dissolve the .-<j-
. Sailed butter and egg trust. The suit i.-1
. directed against the Elgin Board <,t
Trade and the American Association of
Creamery Buttei Manufacturers. The .
tie 21 individual defendants. The El
fin Board of Trade controls the Elgin ’
Sutter board.
The suit was filed on telegraphic in - ;
Itruetions from District Attorney Wilk- j
Hson, after a conference with Attorney >
General Wickershtim in Washington.,
The defendants are:
The Elgin Board of Trade and its of
ficers, Charles M. Potter. Elgin, presi
dent: H. c. Christians. Richfield, Wis.,
rice president: .1. P. Maron, Elgin,
treasure: ; Colvin W. Brown. Elgin, sec
retary; A. C. Hawley. Jerseyville, 111..
I Sirector.
Creamery Men Defendants.
The American Association of Cream
try Butter Manufacturers and its otii
r. r.-. James A. Walker. Chicago, presl
fb n:: George E. Hask< 11. Lincoln, Nebr.,
lice president; William D. Howard,
Fort Atkinson. Wis.. treasurer; George
L. McKay. Chicago, secretary, and the
e::< etitive board, whose members are
E. H. Forney, Henry Bridgeman. Jo
seph H. Rushton, Charles Harding, A.-
ar S. Hanford, Car] W. Kent, Henry
f . Page. Samuel Schlosser, William A.
Tilden. Samuel P. Wadley and W. T.
: Sherman White.
Tin bill alleges a combination in re-
Itraini of trade in violation of the
Sherman law and asks a dissolution of
the board and the association.
The petition asks a permanent in-
I function preventing the defendants
from fixing prices, quoting prices that 1
fio not represent actual purchases and.
Bries, and from making wash .‘-ales for
the purpose of misleading the public.
According to the bill, the conspiracy
was formed five years ago to control
tommerce in butter and butter fact. The ,
rules and regulations of the Elgin board i
ar< made a part, of the bill.
■‘Fixed Prices Arbitrarily.” ;
According to the government’s alle
gations, these were adopted to “pre- t
Vent the price of butter from being (
fixed by free and open competition on ,
r - the board: to enable the conspirators!
to use the defendant association for tile I
purpose of fixing the price of butter j
lower during the season of the manu
facture of butter and higher during th'-1
winter months than tradb conditions •
and open competition would bring about |
Dr legitimately warrant: to require nil 1
members of me association to use the j
price thus ■ stabllshed as a basis for all j
contracts made by them for the pur
chase or sale of butter."
The petition recites the history of tin
board and the association at consider
able length. The chief offices of th.
Board of Trade are given as Elgin. 11
and ( lose of tin association are in Chi- I
.'ago.
Writs will be served on the ilehnd-i
tints in the ease at once.

He Thinks Atlanta Is
An Ideal Place for
South's Headquarters
' I

" s ilß'
I'. E. Weatherholt,
Another indication that Atlanta is
the logical city for Southern headquar
ters and for distribution throughout
the South is given in the decision of
the Weatherholt Piano Company to
niove the main store of the Weather
holt chain here.
This decision was arrived at after T.
E. Weatherholt, president of the ebmpa
ny, spent several weeks here making a
thorough investigation. The Atlanta
store is now located at 72 North Broad
street and from here all the whole
sale and retail distributing for the en
tire South will be done.
Mr. Weatherholt has also moved his
residence here from Nashville, and in
tends to make Atlanta bis home in the
future. While.he will keep in close
touch with the other stores of his chain,
lie will devote most of his tjme to the
Atlanta business and will give it his
personal attention and supervision. He
is original in his ideas regarding the
sale of pianos, and plans which he has
successfully used in his business have
been appropriated all over the country.
As a result of these original ideas. Mr.
Weatherholt lias built up one of the
largest and best known piano concerns
in the South, and because of the ad
vantages which Atlanta has to offer, he
expects to make his business greater
than ever.

“The Service Rendered us Cannot
Be Surpassed by any Exchange
In America”
Telephone operators appreciate a recognition of their efforts, just as all of
us do.
Most frequently they hear only the complaints, while their best work is
accepted as a matter of course.
For this reason we are particularly pleased to have permission to publish
following letter: *

The True Value of
Precious Stones
The value to the buyer rests not upon what a thing
costs, but upon what it is worth.
No specific rule can be made for the buyers* guid
ance in the purchase of Precious Stone Jewelry.
The least shade of color, touch of imperfection or
lack of proportion influences the value so greatly that
only an expert can fix the value. The fundamental
feature of the Harry L. Dix, Inc., business, as we have
outlined it, and which we steadfastly maintain, is this:
T hat a man need not be able to know a good piece of goods
from a poor one, or a genuine stone from an imitation, that he shall be of
fered choice only from the best at a plainly marked price of real value.
T hat he shall have the unreserved warranty of the Dix Corpora
tion with any purchase he may make, that his decision shall be made
easy by confining it—if the purchaser so desires—to style and design
matters of taste not requiring technical knowledge.
