M LONDON’S jnJ (xreiicrf S/fe-/yiirvc/ TA* SCARLET PLAGUI Pccfcny i/> FRK MAGAZINE GIVEN WITH NEXT ~ 5JWM 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 .">48 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 mulaic their belief, after inspecting Thursday Chattanooga's dis play of home-manufactured goods. The delegation tilled 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 a,sked innumerable questions as to expense, number of visitor?, how the necessary funds were raised, what the exhibitors . think of it, whether it pay?, and how it is made to pay. The hosts answered in explicit de tail. * Hosts Withheld Nothing. “We base no secrets.” said O. L Bunn, secretary and V nana £ er Cl> ](., 11 T Tit .113 SS lif of the Chattanooga Manufacturers’ Associa tion “We are glad to explain every thing. even to open our book? to you if you so desire. We feel that the building of such an exhibit by^ At lanta can not hurt us. \and. in fact, that it will aid u? by advertising the South even more widely as a manu facturing section." Among other details which the In quisitive Atlantan j learned were these: An average of 50 persdfis a day, year in and year out. visit the display. Few manufacturers who once make an exhibit ever cancel their reserva tion of floor space. • Many sales can be traced direct to ‘.he exhibit. Some manufacturers have abolished their'sale? rooms and use their exhibit space for this purpose. During large conventions the visi tors throng the building and carry its fame to their homes all over the United States. While the Confederate reunion was j in progress 35,000 persons went through the building. The “home folks” do not ignore the displays. New Year’? Day, 1913, 15.- 000 Ohattanoogans attended a recep tion in the building. ('hattancoga 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 120 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 buiidir.g, 25 by 110 feet, and now fills another building of identical size. Rental of floor space has served to pay all in terest chaiges. 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 tlie Intention of the association to realize a profit on •Ihe undertaking, it is likely the rents, reasonable enough now, will be re duced from year to year as the debt is tV*tired and the interest charges grow Walter G. Cooper, secretary of the Clbmber of Commerce, perforce, took the. lead in Thursday's investigation, because of the absence of Brooks Morgan. Mr. Morgan has been a leadhg spirit in arousing enthusiasm for tip “Made in Atlanta” exhibit, but a cast, in court prevented hi? attend ance Vihursday. Price Not an Obstacle. Mr. ^Vioper went into financial ques tions \v[th especial thoroughness. He ascertained that rentals to exhibitors are 60 U 90 cents per year per square root. T\e low rate is made possible by a coVibination of favorable cir- cumstanc>s. Whether Atlanta can do it as cheaply is debatable, but Chatta nooga’s e^eri^nce demonstrates that the price rn-ed not be prohibitive. One thin>. Chattanooga has not done which Atlaitans believe could be done with profiles a display of raw mate rials. They woud display ail the re sources of Georgia, from cotton to iron ore, wit) placards giving statis tics as to quantity and information as to availability This would be for the purpose of encouraging new industrial development. irl fte TOWN Where to Find Money And Sympathy. The genlleman from Piast Point was in a horrible humor. Everything had gone wrong with him and when : his friend climbed aboard the in coming cpr, lie 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 futcher, 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 all 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, thf friend, who looked prosperous, arid as if nothing ever disturbed the evei\ tenor of bis wpvg, r'J know where to find mone/'and sympathy.” \ | "Where,” glared tl)e man from Kast Point. “In the dictionary,r was the quiet . rejoin dec. and everybody in the cai had a snicker at the expense of the man from East Point\ . Taking Advantage \ Of the Handsome Actor. great big bouquet of violets to give to the dame and he took particular care 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 had waited about two hours for the lady to appear, but we were treated to a small-time sketch not on the regular program. The actor, bouquet in hand, had been standing out front about ten minutes when along came a beautiful dame and she had 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 somew-here 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 strojled 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 we did the best we could for him. The rest of the week he never showed himself except on the stage and he looked soared to death all the time. I think he is cured.” Liquor Men Plan Test of Webb Bill WASHINGTON.
