7 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, l E Pageant by Retailers June 4 Wil Eclipse Anything of Its Kind Ever Seen in Atlanta. With practically all plans complet- prl for the pageant, local retail grocers and clerks Wednesday are predicting that the parade of June 4, with which they will celebrate the opening of the “Wednesday closing'' season, will be one of the greatest ever seen in At lanta. F. E. Hamper, chairman of the ar rangements committee, in charge of active preparations for the parade, declares nothing that has ever been held in Atlanta in the past will even approach it in Interest. “It is a sure thing,” declared Mr. Kamper, "that when we get through the people of Atlanta will know that clerks and re tailers appreciate the opportunity of getting a half-holiday every week. The parade we are going to pull off will make the circus parades look sick.” And a glance at the arrangements Induces the belief ihat Mr. Kamper knows what he is talking aoout Prob ably 2,000 men will march in the pa rade. and Atlantans will see some weird costumes. Three miles of wagons and automobiles, decorated and emblazoned with banners, will follow the marchers. Fiva mounted policemen. the handsomest and bravest of Chief Beavers' force, will ride at the head of the column. Three Brass Bands. Three brass bands will tread proud ly in the ranks. Following the mounted policemen and a brass band will come aides and their marshals as follows: F. E. Kamper, H. Winberg, C. J. McCoy, K. H. Comer, W. J. Burton, J. H. Mer ritt, J. F. McNair and W. A. Byers. Each of these men will appoint five assistants to ride with him, and all will be clothed in uniforms that rep resent the last word in splendor. The parade will form near the Capitol, on Washington. Hunter, Mitchell, Whitehall and other nearby streets. The exact route of the pa rade has not been determined, but it probably will be down to Whitehall and up Peachtree, until everybody gets tired. The rivalry among the merchants for the best decorated wagon and automobile already has begun, and some unique schemes in decoration are promised. The celebration will not be con fined to retailers. Wholesalers have expressed a desire to send their auto mobile trucks to the parade, and ice manufacturers, bakers, packers and the commission merchants also will work to make the parade a success. Many lines of business were repre sented at the Taft Hall meeting Tuesday night, and every representa tive of every line pledged the assist ance of himself and his fellows to making the parade a success. 1’ I, Adams was there to ladle out encour agement in behalf of the jobbers of the city, and J. D. Simmons told how- far the City Salesmen's Association would go to make the affair a suc cess. Then there were wholesalers, .retail grocers, bakers, commission men, clerks and employees galore. All Boost Atlanta. Several stirring addresses were made, all emphasizing the necessity of working together and boosting for Atlanta. Among the speakers were Harry L. Schlesinger. father of the closing movement; Hon. John Y. Smith, Representative-elect from Fulton County; O. T. Camp, a con sistent booster for the parade; E. 1,. Adams, of the Jobbers; John McCul lough, of the commission merchants; Olin Stamps, who boosts anything and everything pertaining to the good of the city; L. E. Rogers, one of the live wires among the clerks, and John Bratton, of the Georgia Retail Gro cers’ Association. Before adjourning the clerks ex tended a vote of thanks to their em ployers for the half-holiday. It was announced by Mr. Schlesinger that more than 800 grocers had signed an agreement to close at noon every Wednesday through the months of June, July and August. Merchants in East Point also have joined in the movement and will take part in the parade. ODDITIES —in the— DAY'S NEWS m LONDON'S Latest am! Greater?

Invitations for a dance at Turner Hall, 28>,2 South Pryor Street, on June 4, are being mailed to the members of the Atlanta Turn Verein and their families. The New Food-Drink Postum Is in thousands of homes where health is valued. Former coffee users who have felt the pinch of indiges tion, headache, heart disturbance, nervous irritation, etc., have written by the score, telling of remarkable benefits following the change from coffee to Instant Postum. A level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water dissolves instantly and makes it right for most persons. A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put in a heaping spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream. Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate and have it served that way in the future. “Thanks for the sample of Instant Postum sent me. I had been drinking coffee for a long time and thought it would be diffi cult to give it up. but I was mistaken. “While I was drinking coffee I always felt exhausted and I weighed but 112 pounds. After using Instant Postum I soon re covered and now am as healthy as any person can be. I now weigh 120 pounds and am steadily gaining in weight. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum comes in two forms. Regular (must be boiled). Instant Postum doesn’t require boiling, but is prepared instantly by stirring a level teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. Both kinds are sold by grocers everywhere.
