Pageant by Retailers June 4 Will
Eclipse Anything of Its Kind
Ever Seen in Atlania,
With practically all plans complet
ed 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. Kamper. 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
•pproaoh 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 ‘.hat Mr. Kamper
knows what he is talking about. 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. Five 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. R.
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 fellow's to
making the parade a success. E. L
Adams was there to ladle out encour
agement in behalf of the jobbers of
ihe 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 movemertt; Hon. John Y.
Smith, Representative-elect from
Fulton County; O. T. Camp, a con
sistent booster for the parade; E. L.
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.

The New Food-Drink
Instant 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 th§ 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 bv 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.

This We Consider the Year’s Most Remarkable
Sale of Chinaware
The Quantities Involved and the Halved Prices Make It Such
That housekeeper who right now
finds that she needs another or a new
set of china is indeed fortunate, and she
who needs but an extra plate or so, a
platter or a few cups and saucers is in
deed fortunate.
TO-MORROW SHE WILL PAY
BUT HALL (in an instance or so possi
bly a litle more, in a greater number of
instances less than half) of what she had
expected.
And she will have such fine choice at
the same time! Here are fine Limoges
china—including a pattern from the
Haviland potteries —Japanese china,
Austrian china and German and English
porcelains—china to grace elegant din
ing rooms and china that is best for
summer homes.
It is the righting of stocks with us
and is done in the characteristic Cham-
berlin-Johnson-DuBose Co. fashion, let
prices fall where they will.
You will notice below that in many
instances former prices are for the
dozen pieces and that present prices are
for the single piece—this means that now
you may buy one piece or as many pieces
of any of the china as you may want.
