DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE MEN
M. Kutz Co. Store Thronged With
Buyers—Latest Styles
and Models.
¢« Sinece the beginning of the fall
opening of the M Kutz Company,
Atlanta's big wnolesale millinery es
tablishment, the house on the corner
“of Mitchell and Pryor streets has
been filled with busy milliners from
~_every section of the SBouth,

All the styles of the season are to
I be found at Kutz's, from the gay
Parisian model to the more sober and
charniing American shapes and col
ors.
As to the styles and colors, The
Dry Goods Economist is authority for
the season's summary:
. “The models are for the most part
along the broad, low lines launched
during the summer season, and show
_Gomparatively little trimming. The

All-Star Gets an
Order—Also Shock
If you are troubled with potato bugs,
just eall an W, O, Steele, head of the
All Star Manufacturing Company, 86%
W. Mitchell street, and your troubles
will end.
Mr. Steele has had experience with
potato bugs and he has found a remedy
that has proven unfailing. It is this:
Get a bunch of chickens and have
them ready by the time the plants are
begining to grow and attract the de
structive bug; turn them into the po
tato gfl‘"'h and watch developments,
The chickens thrive and grow while the
potato does likewise.
But the poor bug. He hasn't a
chance,
noveltles In burnt feathers, imitat
ing fur.
“Rirds’ winge are extensively used
both as trimmings and as brim (ac
ings. Cocks’ feathers fashloned into
fancy motifs have some representa
tion and are offered in soft colors of
gray and blue”
in fact, every fad of feminine fan
cy i 8 to be found, while the stock is
complete and ready for immediate
Celivery for the present, but these
stocks will not remain in the house
forever, and milliners are urged to
buy early and safely,
Ihe business of M. Kutz has grown
steadily until it 18 now one of the
largest in the South, and is still
growing. The house is thronged with
buyers and there is an air of satisfac~
tion by both the huyer and the sales
force that 18 indeed gratifying.
A matter of particular and pecul
far satisfaetion to the house of Kutz
is the fact that many milliners who
have formerly gone to the Eastern
markets are this year buying here,
for they have learned by experience
that they can get the very latest
styles and models in Atlanta, and
that the prives are just as low, while
delivery is more certain,
This will be the banner bhusiness
year of M. Kutz, and it is deserving,
in that they are giving of the best
to bg had in millinery, and every co
operation is also being given to their
customrers, |

’ Running. -
I i
The Bmith family is certainly well
represented in the A. M. Robinson
Company, Atlanta's big wholesale dry
goods and notions house, and the A,
M. Robingon Company is certainly
well represented by the Smiths,
Claude Smith has been as busy as
could be during the week, his sales
in the house leading all others by a
safe majority. Sugg Smith is close
behind, having broken all his pre
vious records, while George Smith has
been near the front since the season
‘ opened,
l It seems that every salesman in
the house was boosting the Smiths,
fwhiln the Smiths were all talking
about the wonderful sales of the other
'l“lring Liners, and this spirit pre
vaile throughout the entire establish
ment--they are all good and deserve
all the praise they can give each
other, while J. . Robinson and C.
J. Willlamson swear by every man In
the employ of the big house.
Mack Lee Crawford, of the Firing
Line, has been in the hills of Haber
sham and the valleys of Hall for the
past few days, taking a necded rest.
He will be back on the ‘job Monday
and will be there with the best of
them.
Gleorge 8, Bmith, who has made the
name of Robinson famous in South
Carolina, eame in Tuesday, bringing
an army of customers with him. An
other event of note is the fact that
Mr. Smith had a birthday during the
week, and a surprise in the way of a
postal from Mrs. Smith informed him
that a handsome wgtch had been for
warded to him as a birthday present.
A. J. Hulsey, who travels western
North Carolina for the A. M. Robin
son Company, has been in the house
during the past week and has put
over a great business,
C. J. Williamson has returned from
a trip to Birmingham, where he has
been in attendance at the national
convention of commissary men, and
he is enthusiastic over the great time
Birmingham gave them.
D. B. Bullard, of Palmetto, was in
Atlanta ¥riday and of course paid
| his respects to the House of Robin
son, where he buys large quantities
of goods, Mr. Bullard is not only a
merchant of splendid ability, but is
one of the finest fellows one could
meet. He isß always a welcome vis
itor to Atlanta whether he buys
goods or not,
HOT-—-YES.

- John R. Thornton, old Firing Liner,
art connoisseur, poet and author, af
ter having retired to private life and
communion with Nature, has again
come to the forefront as manager, ofl
the Cole Book and Art Store on
Whitehall street. i
For ten years Mr, Thornton op-i
erated Thornton’s Book and Art Store
at No. 28 Whitehall street, developing
among Atlanta's discriminating folk
a taste for art. |
~ Heeding the call of the great out
door, Mr. Thornton closed out his
‘business and became an active in
surance man. After breathing freely
of God’s fresh air, the wonderful
iworks of nature, so close akin to his
‘belnvm art, appealed to him 8o
strongly that he went to the farm,
his place at Magic Rock, at Camp
bellton, on the Chattahoochee River,
being a haven to the tired business
man.® But--
He just could not stay put, so back
to the busy marts of trade came Mr,
Thornton to his first love, that of
books and art.
How to Exterminate
W. 0. Steele, head of the All Star
Manufacturing Company, manufactur
ers of ties, suspenders, belts, etc., has
at last got an order he can't fill
It has been conceded for some time
that there was not a more up-to-the
minute force in any establishment in
Atlanta than that of the All Star Com
pany, but there f{s not a man among
them (nor woman) who has been able
to fill this particular order.
There is a cause, of course, and the
eause In this Instance is the fact that
the order 18 from Sagues La Grande,
Cubn, and is written in Spanish. The
only portion of the order tgat could be
deciphered was the amount in dollars
and cents and the word Ameriean. It
fs a question of debate as to whether
the werchant, Manuel A, Solis, read the
advertisement in The American or
whether he was showing his ap‘wrecln
tion of American-made goods, t was
sglrood that both were probably right
n the meantime a Spanish scholar
is in demand by the A“a Star Manu

S. P. Moncrief Enthused Over
Prospects After Trip—Closed
Good Contracts.
e
“The ‘Great Creator has certainly
gmiled on the Southland this year,”
said 8. P. Moncrief, of the Mnncriefi
Furnace Company, who has just r&'~]
turned from a trip to South Carolina, |
“und from every indication this wi)l‘
be a banner year in every line of en- |
deaver.
“A year ago I visited Chester, S. C.,
and one big mercantile house in
which I had installed a large heating
plant, was doing practically nothing,
there not being a single customer in
the house at the time. This trip l‘
vigited the same house, and every
single salesman and saleswoman w:u«x’
busy and customers waliting.
“The growing crops are the best I
have ever seen, not only in South
C‘arolina, but in Georgia as well, and
I expect this to the bhiggest business
year in the history of the State.”
When questioned as to his own par
ticular business, that of heating, Mr.
Monerief said:
“1 closed a big contract at Chester,
8. C, on this trip, and at the same
time we ¢losed a big contract at
Fitzgerald, Ga., andsso it goes.
“Right here in Atlanta my business
is growing by leaps and bounds, and
1 can safely say that this year will
more than double any previous year
in the history of my business.”
Asked as to the cause «;& his mar
velous inerease, Mr. Morßrief ex
plained that there was more money,
for one thing, and that the people
were beginning to realize the comfort
and economy of heating by furnace
rather than by grates.
He concluded by saying that it was
only a matter of getting the right
kind of labor, and that he had been
very fortunate in that he had a num
ber of men who had been with him
for vears, and as he had always en
deavored to do the very bhest he could
for them, they were satisfied to re
main where they were, ‘

“Texas and Oklahoma merchants
have materially cuystailed their or

celled all orders on account of crop
conditions, while Georgia and ad
wining Southern States have shown
just the cpposite, merchants in many
cases doubling their orders and all
goods are ordered shipped as soon as
possihle,
“lF'rom indications as shown by tha2
trade conditions in our house in St
Louis, I would say that there will be
greater crops grown this year than
ever before, and T look for an era
of prosperity never before known in
this particular section,” concluded

Predict Big Business
, Dlg
In the Southland
After two weeks of record-breaking
business, the Firing Line force of the
Ragan-Malone Co., wholesale dry
goods and notions, is again on the
trail, and the orders coming in bear
out the prediction of the company
that this will be one of the best
years in the history of the dry goods
business in the South. i
“Merchants in every town in Geor
gia and surrounding States report
the best business in years,” said
James Ragan, “and the era of pros
perity is certainly at its full just
now.
“We have had a rush in the house
since the opening of the season,” con
tinued Mr. Ragan, “but the buyers
have not been hysterical nor have
they attempted to stock beyond their
needs, at the same time they have
bought liberally and well.
“We want to again urge merchants
to make their purchases as soon as
possible, because the congested con
dition of the railroads is such as to
make deliveries extremely uncertain.”
.
Princess Mfg. Co.
Business Booming
“It is not a matter of goods or or
ders with us,” said H, Constangy, of
the Princess Manufacturing Com
pany, “but a matter of sufficient help|
to meet the domands.
“We have been fortunate in keep
ing good help on aeccount of the splen
did sanitary conditions and satisfied
employees, but as our business is
more than three times what it was a
year ago, it bhas necessitated an in
crease in our working force, and this
has been the one big problem with us,
“We are in a position to fill all or
ders now, and it seems that we have
passed the danger line in the help
problem. We have already done more
rusiness than we did the entire yenr“
of 1917, and from present prospects
we will have set a standard that wm‘
be hard to beatdt’ |
The Princess Manufacturing Comn
pany is fortunate in that they have a
large stock on hand, but they urge
merchants to give their orders as
soon as possible, on account of the
congested condition of the railruads.}

Great Millinery Display Is an Ir
ey '
resistible Attraction for
Women,
If millinery dealers threughout the
South could see the throngs that have
crowded the store of the McClure
Company in Atlanta for the past]
week, they would hasten to make
their selections and give their orders
for the fall and winter trade. '
The season opened earlier than|
Lsual this year on account of the con- l
dition of the market, there being a
question as to whether the goods m!
rufficient quantiteis could be secured. |
In addition to the regular line of
miilinery carried by the MecClur
Company, and to fill the big gap
caused by the first rush, Mrs, N. B.
Stevens, the buyer for this depart
ment of the big store, made a trip to
New York and secured a handsome
line of pattern hats, which are now
on display. Those who buy early will
get the cream of this great array of
hats, but from preseni indications
they will not remain i the house any
great length of time.
Miss Edith Thomas Baer, with her |
large corps of skilled milliners, is;
kept busy designing and finishing!
mcdel hats for the trade, this l)(-ins:i
a department that has proven very
beneficial to the dealer, as they may |
send their milliners to Atlanta and|
Miss Baer will train them in making|
the latest models and designs. 'l‘ixiq}
feature is absolutely free to the mzs-'
tomers of the McClure Company.
All the latest designs in velvets,)
malines, Georgette crepe and satins|
are to be found at McClure's, andl
there is a sufficient number to sup
ply immediate demands, but those |
who put off purchasing, expecting to |
fill in later, will probably be disap
pointed, for under present conditions
there is nothing certain in the mil-|
linery market. |
The McClure Company can take!
care of all customers for immediate
delivery, but they are urged to make
their purchases a- the earliest mo
ment, as the congested conditions of
| the railroacs make dGelivery an un- |
" certainty. ‘
