Chamber of Commerce Delegation,
After Viewing Chattanooga Show,
Declares Similar Institution Here
Would Be Self-Supporting.
Atlanta should establish a permanent exhibit of the thousand
or more products of its 54* factories.
The plan is feasible.
The exhibit will be self-sustaining.
Atlanta could devise nothing which would impress the visitor
more favorably.
Sixty-five members of the Chamber of Commerce thus for
mulate their belief, after inspecting Thursday Chattanooga's dis
play of home-manufactured goods.
The delegation filled a special
car, attached to the “Dixie
Flyer.” It was a business trip.
There was no entertainment
program, no time for play. Ar
riving in Chattanooga, the At
lantans went directly to the two
buildings where the permanent
exhibit is housed.
They went through the building
from top to bottom, accompanied by
members of the Chattanooga Manu
facturers’ Association. They asked
innumerable questions as to expense,
number of visitors, how the necessary
funds were raised, what the exhibitors
think of it, whether it pays, and how
it is made to pay.
The hosts answered in explicit de
tail.
Hosts Withheld Nothing.
"We have no secrets,” said O. L
Bunn, secretary and manager of the
Chattanooga Manufacturers’ Assoeia-
*' - “We are glad to explain every-
- even to open our books to you
, ou so desire. W r e feel that the
ding ’of such an exhibit by Al
ula can not-hurt us, and. in fact,
-u it will aid us by advertising the
youth even more widely as a manu
facturing section.”
'Among other details which the in
quisitive Atlantans learned were
these:
An average of 50 persons a day,
year In and year out. visit the display.
Few manufacturers who ontfe make
an exhibit ever cancel their reserva
tion of floor space.
Mdny sales can be traced direct to
the exhibit.
Some manufacturers have abolished
tliViir sales rooms and use iheir exhibit
space for this purpose.
During large conventions the visi
tors throng the building and carry its
fame to their homes ail over the
United States.
While the Confederate reunion was
in progress 35,000 persons went
through the building.
The "home folks” do not ignore the
displays.. New Year’s Day, 1913, 15,-
000 Chattanoogans attended a recep
tion in the building.
Chattancoga jobbers and retailers
are proud of the label, "Made in Chat
tanooga," and they have been edu
cated to this point largely through the
exhibit.
Rental Pays Expenses.
There are 130 exhibitors in the
Chattanooga exhibit, out of 300 mem ■
bers in the Manufacturers’ Associa
tion. Within four years the exhibit
has outgrown a four-story buiiding,
25 by 110 feet, and now Alls another
building of identical size. Rental of
floor space has served to pay all in
terest charges, expenses and to create
a sinking fund. It will not be many
years before the buildings will be free
of debt. As it is not the intention of
the association to realize a profit on
the undertaking, it is likely the rents,
reasonable enough now, will be re
duced from year to year as the debt is
retired and the interest charges grow
less.
Walter G. Cooper, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, perforce, toon
the lead in Thursday's investigation,
because of the absence of Brooks
Morgan. Mr. .Morgan has been a
leading spirit in arousing enthusiasm
fop the “Made in Atlanta” exhibit, but
a «fese in court prevented hie attend
ance Thursday.
Price Not an Obstacle.
Mr. Cooper went into financial ques
tions with especial thoroughness. He
ascertained that rentals to exhibitors
are HO to 90 cejrts per year per square
foot. The low rate is made •possible
by ,a combination of favorable cir
cumstances. Whether Atlanta can do
it a? cheaply is debatable, but Chatta
nooga’s experience demonstrates that
the price need not be prohibitive.
One thing Chan mooga has not done
which Atlantans believe could be done
with profit, is a display of raw mate
rials.
They would display all the re
sources of Georgia, from cotton to
iron ore, with placards giving statis
tics as to quantity and information as
to availability. This would be for the
purpose of encouraging new industrial
development. ,

Where to Find Money
And Sympathy.
The gontleman from East Point
was in a horrible humor. Everything
had gone wrong with him ancj when
his friend climbed aboard the in
coming car, he took particular pains
to tell said friend all his troubles.
“This high cost of living gag has
got me lashed to the mast,” said the
man from East Point. "Every time
I get a dollar somebody comes along
and takes it away from me. The
butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker all have a mortgage on
every cent that’s coming to me.
“I work as hard as a field hand
every day of the world and still
I’m not able to get ahead, and, to
cap the climax, I don’t get any
sympathy, either. At home and at
the office it’s ail the same. They
seem to think I could do just a little
more than I’ve been doing. It sure
gets my goat.”
“Well,” said the friend, who looked
prosperous, and as if nothing ever
disturbed the even tenor of his ways,
“I know where to find money and
sympathy.”
. "Where,” glared the man from East
Point.
“In the dictionary,” was the quiet
rejoinder, and everybody in the c.ax
had a snicker at the expense of the
man from East Point.
Taking Advantage
Of the Handsome Actor.
“Every once in a great while,” re
marked the stage hand, “some actor
who is dead stuck on himself comes
along and we have to throw , the har
poon into him goo-: to bring
him back to earth.
“Last week we had with us a gink
who was good looking and could sing
a bit. He had a mania for wanting
to get mash notes from women. We
got wise to him right away and
framed up a gag for his especial ben
efit. We got one of the girls to
write him a bully good mash note
and we saw that a bell hop from one
of the hotels delivered it into the
hand *>f Mr. Lothario.
“Believe me. that note was full of
the rankest kind of mush. A kid
wouldn’t have fallen for that bunk,
but Mr. Actor-mar took the bait,
hook ‘ and line. 1 dictated some of
the note so I know vyhqt was in it.
The writer said she was just crazy
about this actor and wanted to meet
him. Said she’d wait for him after
the matinee and would wear a big
bunch of violets, as they were her
favorite flowers.
“This guy went out and bought a
great big bouquet of violets to give
to the dame and he took particular
are to look his best. Everybody
back stage was hep to the little com
edy and we all went outside to see
Mr. Actor make his killing. We were
going to give him the laugh when he
hud waited about two hours for the
lady to appear, but we were treated
to a small-time sketch not on the
2'egular program.
The actor, bouquet in hand, had
been standing out front about ten
minutes when along came a beautiful
dame and she hud a bunch of vio
lets pinned on her coat, or whatever
it is the girls wear these days. The
guy evidently thought she was the
one, because he stepped forward, hat
in hand, and his most bewitching
smile He blocked the dame’s way.
She got scared right now, but Mr.
Actor did not seem to notice that he
had made a mistake till a great big
strapping chap with a cigar stuck
in his face leaped forward from
somewhere and handed Mr. Actor an
upper cut that put him down for the
count.
“It was the lady’s husband. He
had stepped into a cigar store to
get a smoke and the wife had strolled
on, expecting him to overtake her.
That actor was sure done up. Some
of us boys helped him back to the
theater and into his dressing room
where vve did the best we could for
him. The rest of the week he never
showed himself except on the stage
and he looked scared to death all
the time. I think he is cured.”

The lad was hurried to a doctoi

Prefers Dull
Head to Cold Heart
NEW ROCHELLE, May 30.—Secre
tary of State William Jennings Bry
an addressing the graduates of Mrs.
Merrill’s school at Oakumere on
“Faith,” said it is impossible to do
anything of importance without faUlj
in one’s self, faith in one's fellow-
men and faith In God.
“I fear the plutocracy of wealth.
I respect the aristocracy of learning
and I love the democracy 'of the
heart." said Mr. Bryan. “The only
thing I fear in education is that it
may lift one up until he becom* s
ashamed of hose with whom .to for
