12 D HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1913. TO NEED OF EXHIBITION Permanent Showing of Home-Made Products Believed Feasible and Sure to Aid Greatly in Developing the City s Industries—Can Support Itself. 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 oar, 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: Aji 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 sales 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 in progress 35,000 persons went through the building. The “home folks" do not ignore the displays. Now Year’s Day, 1913, 15,- 000 Chattanoogans attended a recep tion in the building. Chattanooga 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 building, 25 by 110 feet, and now tills another building of identical $>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 Commerce, perforce, took the lead in Thursday's investigation, because of the absence of Brooks Morgan. Mr. Morgan has been •. leading spirit in arousing enthusiasm for the “Made in Atlanta” exhibit, but a case in court prevented hif? 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 dc it a* cheaply is debatable, but Chatta nooga’s experience demonstrates that the price need not be prohibitive. One thing Chattanooga 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. How It Was Done. O. L. Bunn gave in detail the plan followed in establishing Chattanooga's exhibit. The site was offered the Manufacturers’ Association at a flgur. below what it would bring on the market. Mr. Bunn took the option in his own name. Then he proceeded to sell bonds to cover this amount. When this had been accomplished, the man- ifacturer* were called upon to engage floor space. At 10 o’clock of the last day of the option the deal was closed. A holding company was organized called the “Home Association.’’ Title to the property is vested in it. The Manufacturers’ Association pays a fixed rental for its offices to this hold - , ing concern as do the exhibitors. The rentals are enough to pay all expense of operation and maintenance, to pay Interest on the bonds, and to create a sinking fund for retiring the bonds. The rentals amtfunt to a figure be tween 60 and 90 cents per square foot per year for exhibitors. In the four years the exhibit ha.* been in existence few’ manufacturers have expressed dissatisfaction or quit. Most of them are enthusiastic as to its advantages. Some can trace many sales direct to the exhibit. Others have faith in It in the same way that they believe In general advertising that sales come even though they can not be traced. Some Striking Examples. Some striking examples of direct sales are given. There was a conven tion of textile mill superintendents in Chattanooga, and one of the delegates visited the exhibit, though he was not intending to buy goods. A few months later the manager of his mill needed a device, and did not know where to get it. He told his plight to the superintendent, who said: “Why, J remember seeing just that thing In the Chattanooga-made ex hibit.’’ A sale followed. There is a concern in Chattanooga which manufactures automobiles. During the Confederate reunion last week three orders were taken as a direct result of the display. Several devices are used to make the display of value to the exhibitors. For one thing the elevator (made in Chattanooga, by the way) will not stop at 'nterrnedlate floors, but carries -all passengers to the top. This forces all visitors to see the whole exhibit. Salesmen Called to Hall. On each floor is stationed an em ployee of the association. He shows vistors through and explains the ex hibits. If any visitor shows that he is particularly Interested in any one display the attendants goes to Lhe tel ephone and calls up the exhibitor, who sends a salesman to the building at once. Then there are inquiry blanks, whereon the visitor writes his name and address, and the name of the firm from which he wishes Informa tion. Inquiries of this sort are nu merous. Ordinarily, an attendant on each floor and two jaintors are enough to take care of all visitors. When there is an unusual crowd, the office force from the association’s headquarters is pressed into service, and If these are Inadequate, members leave their offices to assist. At every display, descriptive liter ature Is made available for visitors. Booklets answer many questions which no attendant could memorize. Many displays explain themselves. For intance, a lighting device manu facturer has a. display of lights in operation. Kindred Lines Grouped. An effort is made to group kindred lines on the same floors, but this Is not always practicable. Almost every foot of floor space Is In use, and .It has to be utilized to the best ad vantage, so that competing manu facturers of stoves, for instance, can not always have their goods side by side for comparison. There has been no complaint from the exhibitors on this account, however. New’ Haven, Conn., and Richmond, Va., have been so much impressed with Chattanooga's example that these cities are following suit. Every effort is made to maintain an attitude which shall be strictly impartial as between rival exhibi tors. Mr. Bunn records an actual conver sation of recent date. A man, a Stranger to him, viewed the exhibits and expressed his inter est in office supplies. Avoids Neat Trap. “I see you have two displays of office devices,” he remarked, “both are excellent, but which Is the bet ter?” “Both are among Chattanooga's most progressive firms," replied Mr. Bunn. “But confidentially, now, which Is the better firm for me to trade with?" persisted the visitor. “They're neck and neck." said Mr. Bunn. “You’ll have to decide for yourself. Shall I call them up? They’ll be glad to send salesfnen “You needn’t mind.” said the stranger. “I'm one of Smith's sales man myself.” laid a trap to test the attitude of Smith was an exhibitor and had the exhibit manager. He was satis lied. One of the greatest tasks which lias confronted the Chattanoogans is the difficulty of making the exhibits strictly "Made in Chattanooga” dis plays. This caused a tussle with the job bers. Many of the manufacturers carry lines made in other cities, which they sell as supplementing their own goods. They wanted to display these lines in which they are distributors. Strictly “Made at Home.” The association firmly ruled them out.

G. Green, of Eatonton, a nd John L. Moore, of Madison, president and secretary, respectively, of the Georgia Retail Hard ware Association for the past v ear. Atlanta-Made Goods Prominent in Display—Six Georgia Factories Have Space on Floor. Twenty-nine exhibitors had floor space at the eighth annual convention of the Georgia Retail Hardware As sociation at the Auditorium the past week. Of tliest twenty-nine exhibitors, six showed Atlanta or Georgia manufac tured goods. Thirteen of them have agencies in Atlanta. Which may be taken to mean, with out dispute, that Atlanta Is the hard ware center of the Southeast. Stoves of all kinds, farm imple ments of all kinds, sole leather paper products, buggies and . wagons, and harness are among the "home made” products displayed, and these exhibits w r ere equal In completeness and qual ity to the exhibits, side by side, of the greatest makers in all the coun try. It was the best exhibition ever made at a Southern hardware con vention, said the veteran dealers in attendance. Atlanta Made Exhibits. The Atlanta Agricultural Works, w hich makes almost everything in the way of machinery or implements for use on farms, had an attractive dis play which included a stalk cutter of novel design. This machine drew more attention, perhaps, than any other farm Implement shown. Almost as high as a man’s head, with a ser ies of knives on upright shafts, the stalk cutter is designed to take care of the tallest corn or cotton grown. Plows, cultivators, harrows and many other Implements made up the rest of the exhibit. The Mascot Stove Manufacturing Company and the Atlanta Stove Works had splendid displays of stoves both heaters and cook stoves, resplen dent with enamel and nickeled fit tings. The Mascot works are at Dal ton, but the general selling agency is in Atlanta, and all goods are distrib uted through this city. This concern is under new management. The Atlanta Stove Works is one of tiie largest in the South, and its prod ucts arc well known to the Southern trade. H. Wilensky Sons Company exhibited sole leather strips, and had a table demonstrating the cutting. The leather all comes from Georgia tanneries. The display was presented in attractive style, and was interest ing. McCurry and Inman, of Fairburn. Ga., made an elaborate display ot harness, all kinds, for work and for pleasure vehicles. The National Paper Company, which has an Atlanta factory, show ed building and roofing paper, and other paper products of considerable interest to the hardware trade. The White Hickory Wagon Manu facturing Company and the Blount Buggy factory, showed vehicles for the farm and for pleasure use. This is the largest plant of this kind in its territory. Plants Invite Visitors. Besides making these exhibits, ail the Atlanta Manufacturing plants, In cluding the Atlanta Steel Company, which makes wire fencing, among other things, announced that their plants were open all week for the In spection of the dealers, and many delegates availed themselves of the opportunity offered to examine the processes whereby the goods they handle are made. , T. G. Green of Eatonton has been president and John L. Moore of Mad ison, secretary of the association for the past year. 1 here are about 150 members. About 200 delegates were on the flpor during the sessions, many of course, not being members, although interested in the hardware trade. Conventions have been held in In dian Springs, Valdosta, Rome, Macon, and Athens preceding the Atlanta convention. "As a jobbing center, Atlanta is ahead of all Southern cities, and as a manufacturing center, it is forging to the front rapidly,” said P. S. Tvvlt- ty, of Dublin, In an address to the convention, and his sentiment was applauded heartily. Gathering Makes Converts. The convention is believed to have done much good, not only in tending toward the solution of problems pe culiar to the hardware trade, but also in making Atlanta jobbers and man ufacturers better acquainted with their customers throughout the Stale. Many dealers who have been buy ing elsewhere are said to have learn ed through the convention that they have been making a mistake. At lanta w’ill be the terminus of their buying trips hereafter they declare. The Exhibitors. Among the exhibitors at the Audi torium were: Atlanta Agricultural Works, Atlanta, Ga.; Acme Steel Goods Co., Atlanta, Ga.; Allen Manufac turing Co., Nashville.

It is much more impressive when this rule is adhered to strictly. I think every ex hibitor sees R that way now. and we are having no more trouble on this particular score. Those who were exhibiting jobbing lines hsve withdrawn their exhibits and are fill ing their space with their own goods." Soves Buyers’ Time. “This is great." remarked an At lanta delegate. “I can see how It works. A buyer comes to Chattanoo ga and sees this exhibit. Here he finds competing lines side by side. He doesn’t have to go to one factory on one side of town, then to another on the other side of town, and finally re turn to the flrst to make his pur chases. He does here in three hours what would take three days were it not for the exhibit. I’m for it. and I want Atlanta to have an exhibit of just this kind." The Chattanooga Manufacturers' i Association has undertaken one work which is provided for in another way in Atlanta. All freight bills paid by members are checked over by the as sociation. Whenever necessary claims are filed and collected through the association. Members declare this service saves them more than their yearly dues. On a blackboard in the exhibit hall Is a monthly record of the list of claims against each rail road. the number paid and the per centage paid as against the number filed. This is done for its moral ef fect on the railroads. Atlanta’s interest in a "made at home" exhibit dates back ten years, but never has the dream come so near fulfillment. Temporary displays have been made several times, and with considerable success. These served only to emphasize the need of a per manent demonstration. With the new- life added to the Chamber of Com merce by the new members secured at the beginning of this year the idea took definite shape, and Brooks Mor gan. with his fellow members, has worked indefatigably toward this end. Farthest-South Plant Successful and Engaged Now in Work of Remodeling Building. Pioneer in the field, but demonstrat ing the diversity of industries which thrive in Atlanta, the Dixie Vinegar Works, 376 Marietta Street, is one of the most interesting as well as one of the most prosperous manufacturing establishments of the city. At the present time, all is chaos at the plant, for the remarkable gTowth of the business has made necessary extensive changes. The entire plant is being remodeled, new floors are being laid, new equipment Is being installed, more floor space is being added, and the plant is being brought up to the minute in every respect. With all this work going on. still orders must be filled. The result is confusion, but progress. Pickles of many kinds, jellies, sauer kraut, cider and vinegar are the prod ucts of the factory, together with canned vegetables and kindred prod ucts. Almost Alone in Field. Large as is the Southern consump tion of such edibles, the factories are very few. indeed, the Dixie is the only one In this territory, and Is the farthest south of all. Cucumbers, apples and other fruits and vegetables are us*ed in car-load lots. The apples come from Georgia, and from New York. Eight months a year or longer, the factory crushes the fruit and makes the cider which is sold at soda fountains all through the city, and in other cities of the South. Cider is difficult to handle, because of its propensity to get “hard,” and of all drinks, cider is the most deceitful when it loses Its first harmlessness and acquires a “tang.” For this reason, it has to be kept on ice. both at the factory and at the soda fountains. Another use for the apples is in the making of jelly. As every house wife knows, the ingredient of the apple which sets the jelly is found just beneath the skin. For this rea son, a large proportion of the skins Is used in jelly making. Thoroughly cooked, with sugar, the juice is poured off by hand into clean tumblers, capped with paper and sealed with melted paraffine, just as it would be done ip a home kitchen. “Cuke*” by Carloads. The cucumbers come by the car loads. mostly from Michigan, put up In strong brine. They are taken out of the brine, washed, soaked in clear, fresh w’ater for a considerable time, then put through the pickling pro cess and covered with the liquor, either vinegar, a sweet spiced mix ture for sweet pickles, or the dill formula. Huge vats are used for the making of sauer kraut, vats holding from 25,000 to 40.000 pounds. The cabbage is shredded and put into brine, then subjected to considerable pressure. It is. for the rest, an automatic process, until it is ready to be shipped in bar rels or cans. An increasingly large proportion of lhe output every year is canned. By the w r ay, the day of the solder sealed can is past. Nowadays, the cans are filled w ith the vegetables and juice, and sealed by pressure. A ma chine crimps the edges and seals the containers as fast as an operative can put the cans in the device. The vege tables are cooked with live steam, in the cans, cooled, labeled, and boxed for shipment. The only variation from this is that some vegetables have to be partially cooked before being put in the cans and steamed Another New Device. The paraffine sealing for jellies gives way, too. before the march of prog ress. A vacuum pressure device soon will put caps on the glasses of jelly so tight that they never can be re moved. This will obviate a good deal of handwork, and will be just as sani tary. With the large quantities of jelly pnd other sweets about the factory, it would be natural to suppose that great swarms* of flies would Invade the place. No doubt they would, but for the eternal warfare waged against them. The “kitchen," as it is called, is screened carefully. . A rigid rule is that the screens must be kept closed all the while. Then a negro mammy who looks strong enough to kill all the flies in creation if they were within her reach, is hired expressly for the purpose of chasing out every fly who slips by the screen doors. She gets after them, too. and the place Is freer from flies than many a pri vate home. B. A. Hancock is manager of the concern. He has had long experience in the business, and much of the re cent expansion is due to his efforts. SOUTH’S RESOURCES ALMOST BOUNDLESS Georgia Alone Has Kaw Material Enough to Keep Factories Busy for Centuries. Great as has been the development of manufacturing industries in At lanta, the surface only ha9 been scratched, according to experts who have made a careful study of the r e- sources of the State. Georgia has increased the value of its manufactured products from $94,000,000 in 1900 to $263,000,000 in 1912, but this, say the students, is but a beginning. The 5,384 factories, $225,000,000 of capital, 122,000 em ployees and $40,000,000 of wages rep resent hut a small percentage of what Atlanta may expect within the next decade at the same rate of progress. At the basis of all manufacturing lie power and raw material. Next in importance are distributing facili ties. Georgia’* Coal Supply. Coal long has been and long will be the great source of power. Geor gia, though the fact seldom is men tioned. has 920,000.000 tons of coal as yet untouched, nearly all of a grade which can be used in manufac turing plants. Most of it is “coking coal,” according to the miner aolog- ists. The figures are from E. W. Parker's "Mineral Resources of the United States,” published in 1911. As Georgia, in nine years, mine! only 3,079,197 tons, it is plain that no immediate exhaustion is to be feared, even with vastly increased consumption. The reserve supplv of the South is estimated by the same authority .it 630.002,000,000 tons, which will last 3,000 or 4,000 years at the present rate. Apparently a little speeding up of manufacturers can be done with out danger of using up all the fuel. Next in importance to coal, and No Cessation in Developing South Alabama Wire Mill and Stock Yards at Macon Listed Among New Enterprises. BALTIMORE, May 31.—Among the many Southern industrial and other developmental enterprises reported in this week’s issue of The Manufactur ers' Record are the following: United States Steel Corporation, New York, announced that the Amer ican Steel and Wire Company will at once proceed with construction to complete its steel and wire works at Fairfield, Ala., representing an in vestment of approximately $3,500,000. Cumberland Mountain Land Syndi cate Company. C. H. Smith, engineer, Chattanooga, Tenn., will develop 20,- 600 acres of coal land near Whitwell, Tenn,; plans mining town, steel and rated, with capital stock of $100,000 tnd privilege to increase to $1,000,000. fireproof brick building to be equipped 30 Vj, 60 with mod pm minine: machinery, etc.; 9 f or levee construction along Mis gaining every’ year as a producer of power, are the streams of the South. Georgia has some 1,500 water power plants, developing 166,000 horse power, and can Increase this amount indefinitely. Lumber Is another great resource W’hich Georgia hardly has begun to manufacture. It Is shown by statis tics that out of every 100 feet of lumber milled In the South, only 30 feet are used by Southern factories. The factories of Illinois, on the other hand, use more than 1,000 feet of lumber for every 100 feet produced in that state. A vast field is here for Georgia Industry. In the old days, all the cotton grown In the State was sold in Its raw’ state, to be made into cloth In England or New’ England, and repurchased, In large measure by the South. Prosperity has followed the introduction of the cotton mill into the South, so that now from the lint to the finished cloth, from the seed to the edible oil, Georgia han dles the chief product of Its soil. Where Prosperity Beckons. Industrial srtudents believe the same prosperity would follow the de velopment of wood-working indus tries in the South. True, there are furniture manufacturers and other wood-working plants in Georgia, but they freely admit the field is not crowded, and do not see why Atlanta cannot become another Grand Rapids when it comes to furniture. Georgia, too, ha« large deposits of iron ore, the red hematite and brown varieties. With the increasing use of iron and steel products in the S^outh, economists hold that the State can very well smelt, convert and man i- facture its own iron and steel. Oil Mill Experts To Convene Here Recognize City as One of Important Centers of Industry—Machinery Display To Be Large. “THE ATLANTA SPIRIT” One of the reasons Atlanta take# front rank as jobbing center is the fact that the job bers, wholesalers and manufac turers have the entire city with them. Wilmer L. Moore, President of the Chamber of Commerce, and Mayor James G. Woodward wol- comed the Hardware Retailers to the city when they met here for tneir eighth annual convention. In another community, little or no interest would have been dis played by the municipal officers or the general business leaders outside that particular line, despite the importance of the gathering! It was another manifestation of the “Atlanta Spirit.” Among the co<mdng events which attract attention to Atlanta, and em phasize Its importance as a manu facturing center, is the meeting of the Interstate Association of Oil Mill Superintendents. The convention will be called to order Wednesday morning at the Au ditorium. Representatives from North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi are expected. An attendance of 400 delegates is promised. When the first convention wa« held in Macon two years ago, there were fifty delegates. This is Indicative in largo measure, of the growth of the cotton oil business in Georgia and the South. Once a nuisance, dumped In the streams or used as fertilizer now the cotton seed la prized, and brings high prices. From it are made oil, meal, and hulls, while clever pro cesses clean the “fuzz” from the shell, producing a material useful for felt for mattresses, for horse collars and other purposes where cotton of spinning lengths would be too ex pensive and no more satisfactory. Atlanta Is a recognized center f^r the manufacture and sale of cotton oil mill machinery, and on the main floor of the Auditorium will be an extensive display of apparatus, the newest and best, for the needs of the oil mill man. _ J. T. Holmes, of Sheilman, Ga., is president of the association. The Atlanta Manufacturers Supply Asso ciation will entertain the delegates. WOOLEN PRICES VARY. Surprise is expressed in the woolen goods field In the wide variance of prices of these goods disclosed re cently at Philadelphia by the open ing of bids for Government contracts. Between the bids of the two lowest bidders a difference of about 20 cents a yard was shown, while between the lowest and the highest a difference ot 40 cents was reported. With such dif ferences as these In production costs It is thought in certain quarters that schedule K may be able to stand a cut without doing a great deal of damage, after all.
