Col. John Temple Graves Makes
Principal Speech at Banquet
Closing Convention of State
Association at the Ansley,
Declares State’s Hostelries Have
Attained Success Because the
Owners Meet Needs of Travel
ers—Tribute to Slaton.
Ascribing the “raps” and “knocks”
of the Commercial Traveling Men’s
Association as the inspiration by
^rhlch the hotels of Georgia have at
tained a degree of convenience unri
valed In any other State, Colonel John
Temple Graves, the noted Georgia
statesman and editor, made the prin
cipal address of the evening at the
banquet given by the Georgia Hotel
Men’s Association at Hotel Ansley
Saturday night.
Colonel Graves spoke as the repre
sentative of Governor Slaton, who was
prevented from being present by a
business engagement. The banquet
brought to a close the most success
ful annual meeting in the history of
the association.
“I suppose,” said Colonel Graves,
‘ that I have been the guest at Geor
gia hotels more times in my ! fe than
any other person, and the puzzle of .t
is that I am still living.
Obligation to Travelers.
“T measure my escape by the
breadth of a hair, and yet I continue
to patronize these hostelries. But
times have changed them—times, and
the Commercial Traveling Men's As
sociation.
‘To the traveling men who traverse
this State Georgia owes an obligation
which *can never be paid in the mak
ing of its hotels. These men. by their
continual hammering, have driven the
scanty meal, the hard bed and the tin
washtub from Georgia hotels.
“The drummer, as he is sometimes
called, has made the public hostelries
of this State institutions which can
not be equaled in the United States.”
Colonel Graves naki a touching trib
ute to H. I. Kimball, builder of the
Kimball House, and pioneer hotel jjpan
of Georgia.
Kimball the Leader.
“To H. I. Kimball,” said the orator,
“the hotel men of this State should
attribute a great place In their profes
sion as the man who first responded
to the demands of the commercial
traveler and set a pace which has
made our hotels what they are to
day.
“In closing," said Colonel Graves, “1
want to express my pleasure at be
ing here as the representative of the
man who is the life, the spirit and
the great leader of this Empire State
onward in its path to the leadership
of the nation in patriotism, producti-n
and commercial activity—Governor
John M, Slaton."
The banquet hall on the eleventh
floor of the Ansley was beautifully
decorated in holly and roses. Columns
along either side of the great ro
formed a pagoda, which at the far
end was latticed off for a platform
for the musicians. Miss Mamie Cly-
burn rendered a program of solos
throughout the meal.
Array of Good Speeches.
.1. F. Letton, manager of the Ans-
ley. presided as toastmaster.
Others who spoke were Lee M. Jor
dan, attorney for the association, |
whose subject was “Hotel Legisla
tion;" Colonel F. J. Paxon, former
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, who took the place of Moll
R. Wilkinson, president-elect of that

looked long and far before we finally decided that this was the best value that
50c could buy. For this week this best 50c stationery is 39c a box.
Book at it, feel the fine linen surface, notice that the envelopes are those
that the woman of refinement would choose and the initial, a gold leaf letter,
heavy, put on by hand-worked steel die process. And the additional care that
lias been taken shows very plainly—the initial is a Colonial style.
The boxes contain one quire of paper and two dozen envelopes, or two dozen
correspondence cards and envelopes—all initials, to begin with—a condition that
will hardly last long—Berlin’s Best 50c Stationery is 37c.

The Flowers of France in These Perfumes
for Milady’s Christmas
There are some things we accept as authoritative and final. Among them muRt
be listed the perfumes that bear such names as Coty, Rigand, Miro-Dena, Houbi-
gant, Roger & Gallet—and perhaps a hal f dozen or so more.
They have excelled—they have succeeded in giving to the world as no others
have, the true odors of French flowers.
They are here for milady’s Christmas in bottles and boxes that only the artistic
French would ever conceive. .
A daintier, a more pleasure-giving gift would be hard to imagine, for the
woman who does not “love” the fine delicacy and the purity and fragrance oi such
superior perfumes is a very unusual woman.
Will you see this display? Will you let us lay before you the masterpieces ot
the world’s finest laboratories? These are but a few of them:
Coty’s L'Orlgan Odor Set, two bottles of
And still this is but one of the attractive features of Cone’s Christmas Sta
tionery, which, we are told, is the most elegant in the city—wc planned with that
idea in mind when collecting it. So those who would give stationery (what could
be more useful at the Christmas season?) will find the kinds that are correct,
that, the “etiquette” of stationery would demand.
The prettiest gift boxes are those hand-painted by the Japanese, beautiful
ly done, artistic, worthy of the quality of stationery the boxes contain. The
price range is $1.00 to $10.00, with great varieties at almost any in-between
price.

Dependable Leather Goods to Give
Gifts in leather will always be popular. There is perhaps
no product made that wears as well as leather, considering the
service required. For that reason we are particular to carry
leather goods of standard makes. The temptation to buy
leather lines for show is great. They look very much like the
best, cost less and sell easily at Christmas time. The trick is
cutting the leather thin and making two pieces where one ex
isted before.
Of course the finished product is inferior. You have confi
dence in our stores. We propose to strengthen that confidence
by offering you in season and out dependable merchandise.
Herewith are a few numbers out of a hundred and fifty in our
stock—all useful and serviceable—as low as 25c and on upward
to $30.00. Something for anyone at a price that meets the
amount you have decided to spend.
Collar Bags, $1.00 to $7.50. Bill Books—a great variety—
