“500.000 Club” Slogan Emblems
Are Here, and They Are
Artistic, Too.
Atlanta's Booster Button.
The “500,000 club” booster buttons
have been received. The contest
editor eagerly unpacked them Satur
day and beheld a most artistic Bight.
There was the winning face of Miss
Mary Carl Hurst, voted Atlanta’s
“prettiest girl” in the beauty contest,
bordered by the "500.000 club” slogan:
“Watch Atlanta—She’ll Get You
Yet—500,000 by 1920."
The buttons really are more at
tractive than was anticipated. When
they are shown to the public there
Is not the slightest dovlbt that every
Atlanta booster—and that means
every Atlantan—will rush to get
them. They are a credit to wear; be
sides, there is their significant mean
ing.
Georgian to Distribute Buttons.
Very soon the “500,000 club” will
be formally organized, and The Geor
gian will distribute the buttons.
Everybody will be given an oppor
tunity to Join in the movement to
make Atlanta a half-million city by
1920, a movement fathered by all
the leading officials and business men
of the city.
Everybody remembers, of course,
how this campaign was started sev
eral weeks ago by Hearst’s Sunday
American and The Atlanta Georgian.
Immediately it was indorsed by lead
ing official bodies, trade and sales
organizations and prominent indi
viduals.
■ A slogan contest was held Thou
sands of suggestions poured in. A
prize of $25 finally was awarded to
W. P. Windsor, an assistant cash
ier of the American National Hank.
His suggestion, unanimously adopt
ed by a committee of judges compos
ed of John W. Grant, Wilmer L.
Moore and Walter C. Taylor, was that
the face of Atlanta’s prettiest girl
should adorn the buttons and that
the slogan should be “Watch Atlanta
—She’ll Get You Yel 500,000 by
1920.’’
Beauty Contest Held.
Then a beauty contest was held.
After weeks of voting, during which
Hearst’s Sunday American and The
Georgian published pictures of pret
ty Atlanta girls, Miss Mary Carl
Hurst was elected.
Now that the buttons have arriv
ed the actual organization of the
club will take place. And everyone
may begin real concentrated boost
ing.

To Make Paper From
Lumber By-Products
Waycross Plant Will Be Completed
and in Operation by
October 1.
WAYCROSS, Aug. 30.—WaycroRS-
ma.de paper will be on the market be
fore the month of September passes.
And its appearance will mark the
commencement of an industry that is
destined to work wonders in the de
velopment of this section of Georgia,
due to the fact that the paper to be
manufactured here will be made of
waste products of sawmills and field?.
After careful tests and experiments
made during the past few years, it
wm found that an excellent paper
could be manufactured at a very low
< ost of production by the use of cer
tain by-oroducts of mills of South
Georgia. Having in view the steady
demand of a good paper and recog
nizing the progressiveness of Way-
cross, promoters of the new Indus
try located a mill here early this year,
and the plant Is now just about ready
to start work.
It occupies a five-acre site In Way-
cross, and has been equipped with
every modern machine known for pa
per manufacture.
