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. , J[„ 1! T TU O'"" 1\>VN 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.” Liquor Men Plan Test of Webb Bill WASHINGTON, May 30.—At a conference of brewing and distilling interests held here it was decided to make a test case against the Webb liquor law in Iowa.
