" MAKE ATLANTA GREAT I
(1)
Let's consider some of the things that go to make Atlanta the
great and tltivin‘t.city that it is.
Atlanta is great market of the Southeastern region of the
United States.
It does an annual commercial business of $350,000,000-—a rec
ord that is not surpassed or in any degree approximated by any other
city of the South. ’
Atlanta is Southern headquarters for nearly everything.
fiwhflyomwmmrnyiath‘Ufldwo
has its Southern headquarters in Atlanta. It is the fourth largest in
surance center in the nation—and the first-class mail that goes daily
intooneofitn&ymubnhqflinvolmtothflofmy
cities one-third to its size.
Atlanta does one-fifth of the insurance business of the entire
South and one-third of that in the Southeastern States.
Atlanta is headquarters for railroads, telephone and telqn‘fi
companies and the express business of the South. It is the home of
Southeastern Passenger Association, which extends in its operations
from Washington to New Orleans. It is headquarters of the South
eastern Freight Association and the Weighing and Inspecting Bureau.
It is headquarters for agents of practically all important manufacturers
in the United States that do business in the South.
The Federal Government, recognizing the tremendous impor
tance of Atlanta and its many advantages as a city, has selected it as
its Southern headquarters for the Military Department—and Atlanta
is headquarters for the Railway Mail Service of this section. It is the
si!eofthegrutFederdPfimunthouthcnbudqlnnmforlhe
National Bureau of Commerce.
The Ford Automobile Company has established in Atlanta the
only branch it maintains anywhere in the South—and it did this be
cause, FROM EVERY POINT OF VIEW, Atlanta was the most sat
isfactory location for its Southern business.
Atlanta’s Postoffice receipts, including its parcel post returns, far
exceed those of any other city in the South.
Georgia has made more progress in the last ten years than an
other State of the South—from the dfloint of progress in agncui
ture, manufacturing and Atlanta is the very heart
and center of all this.
It is not strange that citizens of Atlanta abroad should talk in such
glowing terms of their home town and extol so persistently its many
advantages.
The plain, unembellished and unadorned truth about Atlanta
makes a thoroughly compelling and convincing story.
Simmons Employee
While delivering silverware and
other fixtures that had been plated
last Monday, in an automobile, Frank
Solomon, of Simmons Plating Works,
and a negro driver, were hurled out
of the auto and severely bruised
when the automobile struck a north

was rushed to a hospital, where he
was treated. Solomon walked back to

These names stand out like a lone star In a clouded sky.
They are the names of clgars, cigars of quality, cigars of more
than ordinary excellence.
Good, clean, curling, super-cured tobacco—the finest grown—

They smoke free and easy, and the aroma Is one of delicious

For years they have stood the acid test, and to-day the sales
