Till-. AjL.v.mA Or.uuulAA AMi NEWS. PERMANENT EH OF IE-1 URGEDUPONATLANTA 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 548 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' Associa tion. “We are glad to explain every thing, even to open our books 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 us* by advertising the South 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. Pew manufacturers who once make an exhibit ever cancel their reserva tion of floor space. Many sales can be traced direct to the exhibit. Some manufacturers have abolished their salesrooms 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 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 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-sitory building, 25 bv 110 feet, and now fills another building of identical s»ize. 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 Corfimerce, perforce, took the lead In Thursday’s investigation, because of the absence of Brooks Morgan. Mr. Morgan has been a leading spirit in arousing enthusiasm for the "Made in Atlanta” exhibit, but * case in court prevented his attend ance Thursday. Price Not an Obstacle. Mr. Cooper went into financial ques tions with especial thoroughness. He ascertained that rentals to exhibitors are 60 to 90 cents per year per square foot. The low rate is made possible by a combination of favorable cir cumstances. Whether Atlanta can do it as* cheaply is debatable, but Chatta nooga’s experience demonstrates that the price need not be prohibitive. • One thing Chattanooga has not done w hich Atlantans believe could be done with profit, is a display of raw mate rial*. 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. Bryan 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 Oakamere on "Faith.” said it is impossible to do anything of importance without faith in one's self, faith in one's fellow- men and faith in God. “I fear the plutocracy of wealth. ] I respect th^ aristocracy of learning I and T love the democracy of the heart." said Mr. Bryan. "The only' ► thing I fear in education is that i| may lift one up until he becomes i ashamed of those with whom he for- I merly was attached. 1 would rather; the head were dull Ilian the heart cold.” ][., K T TICK *? erf ; )$ *■ Where to Find Money And Sympathy. The gentleman from East Point was in a horrible humor. Everything had gone wrong with him and 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 1 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. 1 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 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 cat had a snicker at the expense of the man from East Point.

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 somewhere and handed Mr. Actor an upper cut that put him down for the count. “Tt 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 we did the best we could for him. The rest of the w r eek he never showed himself except on the stage and he looked scared to death all the time. I think he is cured.” Kaiser and King to Show Best Warships Special Cable tq The Atlanta Georgian.
