i MAX WRIGHT. H. E. REAMS.
| The Wright Company, Incorporated, dealers in hotel equip
!ment, have in a little over two years by modern, clean-cut business
| methods, grown to be rated among the largest institutions of the
| kind in the South.
' A little‘over two years ago the
‘ Wright Company, Inc., was organized.
:'l‘hv business of the company is sup
i plying hotels with complete equip
!nwm, An enterprise of this magni
| tude required a large investment, as
|it is necessary to carry enormous
stocks., On the day of its inception
,it wus agreed by the officers that
nothing would be done in a luke
warm, . half-hearted fashion. Any
thing that was worth doing at all was
worth doing well was their philoso
phy. and they have splendidly lived
up to this idea. |
Trhe men who fathered the Induatr,v‘
were men of vision and imagination
of the practical type, men who were
quick to see a situation in its true
light and equally quick in adjusting
these situations as they developed.
Added to these characteristics was
the priceless gift of experience, some
thing which is only acquired through
actual daily contact with the details
jof business. They knew the value
of quality which is the paramount
Imusldomtlon of every purchaser of
| commodities, merchandise or what
'(-\‘(w' is being bartered for.
Knowing clearly that quality was a
consideration that should stand out
above all other things they decided
to keep quality head and shoulders
above every other feature, Of course,
this meant that buyergs might be
forced to:indulge in an original ex
penditure a trifle above what close
competitors might ask, but fully ap-
I;)rm-i;ning that it is only the quality
producuts that stands the test of
time.
’ It was from this group of facts that
the company's slogan sprung. The
slogan in question being, “Wright
goods, Wright price, Wright service.”
Simple addition will show you that
with these three you have a total that
must read “all right.”
Max Wright is the president of this
thriving concern and H. K, Reams
the general manager. Both of these
gentlemen are ‘‘go-getters” and have
a capacity for organization and pro
motion that has proven an invaluable
asset in their undertakings. They
are sticklers for quality and the ex
tension of courtesy to their fellow
man at all times.
In this day of high prices, when
competitors are meeting each other
on the battleground of business with
‘(‘huap and intoerler preducts it re
‘_qulres strong defermination and the
convietion that one is right to uphold
a standard of quality “first, last and
all the time.” However, the Wright
Company, Ine., have carved this on
Itholr escutcheon, and by adhering to
this plan have succeeded in building
a successful business. Selling the
cheaper and lower-priced lines would,
of course, be easier, but when the
final count was taken the results
would not bhe as gratifying.
The Wright Company is the largest
institution of its kind in the South
today. With its excellent facilities
for handling orders. making deliveries
and wth its splendid stock, which are
of the highest grades manufactured,
it is no longer necessary for hotel,
restaurant and case owners to visit
the Chicago markets in order to have
their wants satisfied. There is noth
ing needed that the Wright Company
is not able to supply. This state
’nwnl applies alsosto linens. Sanita
! riums can get their supplies from this
Isum'-‘ firm which has filled several
large orders recently for this sort of
‘ equipment,

} Silk and cotton seem to be running
a race for the altitude record just
‘now, and one has to be on one’s toes
to follow them in their dizzy flight.
The distance of the Yokohama mar
ket and the irregularity of the cable
service make it harder to keep close
tabs on what raw silk is doing, but so
far it seems to be having the better
of the race. Latest cables from Yoko
hama quote a basis of 1,610 yen for
Sinshiu No. 1, a rise of 80 yen (3540)
per picul in a week—equivalent to 30
cents a pound.
The visible supply at Yokohama is
placed at 16,5600 bales. Some of this
is new-crop silk. The old crop is
practically exhausted, and what is
left of it is mostly poorly assorted
stuff, without interest for American
buyers. But the spring reelings are
now coming in pretty freely and the
assortment is consequently improv
ing.
Whether or not the arrival of the
new crop will tend to soften prices is
hard to say, but the buying is so
heavy both for American and Euro
pean account, and the silk industry
generally is experiencing such pros
perity, that prices are confidently ex
pected to advance still further.
The Canton and Shanghai markets
are steady, with advancing prices.
The former is the more active, but
neither of the Chinese markets is
experiencing anything like the fever
ish activity that characterizes the
Japanese market.
Locally, the market is lively, with
continued strong buying and advanc
ing prices. Thrown silks have ad
vanced from 10 to 15 cents a pound.
Trading in silk goods promises one
of the best fall seasons the industry
has ever known, according to manu
facturers. Those who specialize on
high-grade silks are particularly
gratified, for the demand is running
in a marked and exceptional manner
to the better class of goods.
Novelties of all kinds are especially
wanted. Brocaded silks and satins
are more in demand than has been
the case for many years. It seems
likely that heavy satins and sat?\-
faced fabrics will top the vogue for
fall.
Brocades wiil run them a close sec
ond. It is remarkable how heavily
brocades are being bought, regardless
of expense. This goes not only for
dress silks, but for broad and narrow
ribbons.
’Cotton Chopper Co.
.
Plans a Big Plant
‘ .
To Make Machines
One of the largest manufacturing
onterprises ever established in At
lanta, which in the last few years has
seen several big factories start up
and prosper, is seen for the near
future by stockholders in the Lanham
(‘otton Cultivator Company, which is
making plans for establishing its own
plant in order to keep up with the
growing demands for its machines.
The company is marketing the
Lanham cotton chopperscultivator, a
labor-saving machine which not only
chops out cotton, but performs sev
ernl other operations simultaneously,
and is said to do the work of from
eight to ten men.
“We shall have to erect our own
manufacturing plant to keep produc
tion up to the demand, as has been
shown by this season’s business,” said
President Calving Tichener Saturday.
“Up to this time we have been unable
to supply all the dealers who have
asked for agencies, though we have
tried to distribute the sample ma
chines as widely ag possible. We shall
fall considerably short of filling or
ders for this season, but we are mak
ing plans to avoid being caught in
this shape next yvear.”
Numerous demonstrations of the
cotton-chopping machine have been
held recently, with the approval of
many expert cotton planters and ma
chinery men. Many hundreds of the
machines will soon be at work in the
Georgia cotton fields, as well as in
other States, for the sales have ex
tended as far as Western Texas. The
machine is now being manufactured
on contract by the Murray Company,
large manufacturers of cotton oil mill
and gin machinery.

CHAS. E. LANGLEY.
The Georgia Preserving Company
gecures the services of another ex
pert. Charles E. Langley, expert .in
the manufacture of high-grade food
products, has been released from sery
ice with the Government. Mr. Lang
ley's gualifications and experience as
a high-class expert was established
by a competitive examination held
throughout the United States. Mr.
Langley was one of the four men
elected of the many men who took
this examination, Mr. Langley stand
ing second In rating.
Mr. Langley has rendered the Gov
ernment valuable s2rvice by his great
knowledge of foods and the proper
preparation of them for the market,
which bas enabled him to stand be
tween the soldier and the shipper of
food to the (jovernment, and to a
great extent it is to this service that
the general health of our soldiers
have been on such a high plane, as
there was no food issued that was
not pure and wholesome.
The Government officials at Wash
ington approved every important de
cision rendered by Mr, Langley during
his service with the Government as
an expert. All of the officials were
most flattering in their approval of
his services rendered in this most re
sponsible position. We are most
pleagsed to announce to the many cus
tomers of ours and the public that
the Georgia Preserving Company has
just secured the services of Mr. Lang
ley. Mr. Langley will join the staff
of experts that we will have in our
organization. That will enable us to
give the public the best possible serv
ice and the best quality of marma- |
lades, preserves, jams and jellies that
experts can produce.

Unequaled Distribution |
.
In Atlanta Retail Stores
Mr. Roos, special representative of D,
'Auerbach & Sons, the well-known New
‘Yox'k candy manufacturers, spent the
past week in Atlanta calling upon the
jobbers, with their brokers, Loeb-Apte |
Company. ,
Mr. Roos is very much elated over the |
distribution of Auerbach's product in
this city, and claims that Auerbach’s|
candy has a distribution in Atlanta that |
is second to none. |
However, that is putting it mildly, as
a recent canvas of the retail trade
failed to turn up a single store not |
handling one or more of Auerbach's|
chocolate specials, In other words, 100 !
per cent distribution. |
The business of D. Auerbach & Sons
has grown to such proportions through
out the South that they are now con- |
templating opening a distributing brauch
here. They realize Atianta is the log- |
fecal point for distribution of their can- ||
dies, and in opening a branch here they ;.
will be able to serve their jobberst
throughout the South in a more effi
cient manner. l‘

WHO MAKE AND SELL ATLANTA PRODUCTS
Atlanta’s storage capacity for cot
ton is to be increased immediately
by 50 per cent through the organiza
tion of the Cotton Warehouse Com
pany, with a present storage capacity
of 8,000 bales, and improvements to
begin at once which will increase this
amount to 15,000, The present stor
age capacity of the combined cotton
warehouses of Atlanta is approxi
mately 30,000 bales.
Since the entrance of the United
States into the world war, when the
Government took over the Atlanta
Warehouse Company a dearth in cot
ton warehouse space has been felt
by local cotton men, J. R. Ellis, of
the Ellis Cotton Company, president
of te new concern, stated Tuesday.
“The situation has become s 0
acute,” Mr. Ellis observed, ‘“that the
Atlantiec Compress Company has de
clared an embargo on further ship
ments, as the plant's storage capac
ity is exhausted. Through the or
ganization of the Cotton Warehouse
‘(‘umlnmy this situation will be nota
bly relieved.”
Mr. Ellis then told of the long need
felt by local cotton men for increased
warehouse space. Regarding the new
project, he said:
“We have long felt the pressing
need of more space .for the great
amount of cotton which is brought to
the Atlanta market, and after long
considering the feasibility of the
proposition have decided that it will
prove the solution to the problem.
“Six large warehouses of the At
lanta Milling Company, at the foot of
‘}louston street, near the Atlantic
compress, have been purchased by
the company, and while one of the
buildings has been slightly damaged
by fire, the present capacity is 8,000
bales. As mentioned above, this will
be augmented immediately by addi
tional fireproof buildings which will
increase the capacity to 15,000 bales.
‘“The company plans to establish a
local spot cotton market through the
establishment of offices and sales
rooms in the center of the city where
the farmers may bring their product
in wagons, drays, automobiles or
other methods. The offices will be es
tablished in the close vicinity of Five
Points, where they are accessible
from all parts of the city, and will
be on the ground floor.

Rig Orders Taken During
Past Week Speak Well
.
For Moncrief Furnace Co.
Maybe the weather man did, and
again maybe he didn't, but from what
ever source the cold weather came last
week it was an excellent opportunity
to put to the test the furnaces. Per
sons who know, however, are not will
ing to praise the weather, but rather
the good will that the Moncrief Fur
nace Company have built- for their prod
uct, strictly on a quality basis.
Last week was a regular hummer for
‘business Not only were a number of
‘attrewxive contracts closed, but one par
ticular order was taken that resembled
in size a wholesale order. Six furnaces
to one buyer are the details of the
story. This buyer is erecting several
apartment houses and decided upon the
Moncrief furnace after having consid
ered several others, and also after hav
ing interviewed owners of Moncrief and
other furnaces.
All-Star Company’s Men
.
Leave With Fall Samples
“Over the top and give em—the best
merchandise we ever had.” That is the
war cry of the All-Star Manufacturing
Company’'s road men. The boys have
their war paint on now and are armed
with their fall samples—the finest they
have ever handled, by the way.
Mr. W. O. Steele, or the All-Star
Company, says that the enthusiasm of
the road men is Strongly jl}stified. Great
care was used in selecting the mer
chandise from which the fall lines for
1919 were developed. The same care
was used in the execution of styles also.
Mr. Steele says that the firm’'s business
for the first five months of this year
show a most phenomenal increase over
the same period of last year, and that
in view of the fact the road force this
vear is a great deal stronger than it has
ever been before, great business is
looked for.
‘With the Retail Grocers
" The big drive made this week for
subscriptions for the Salvation Army
'Home Service Fund is a great and
good work, This matter is in the
hands of some of Atlanta's leading
business men. If you do mnot know
the high principles for which the Sal
vation Army stands, ask the boys
irom overseas, ask some wounded sol
diers what the Salvation Army did for
the boys on the battlefields of France.
If you haven't handed in your sub
seription, just write Edwin Johnson,
fifth floor, Chamber of Commerce
Building, or call us over the tele
phones, I, 57561, 1. 6145, and authorize
us to hand in your name as a mem
ber of “the Grocers’ Five-dollar Club,”
You can pay this in lump sum of $5
or in divided payments,
No institution in the United States
is deing as much for the “down and
outs” as the Salvation Army. You
know them; they've.been in Atlanta
for vears: they are here to stay; they
are here to do good; they are doing
good Let's help them in their good
work. livery time a “cast ouf” or a
“down and out” is reclaimed, a bet
ter citizen is made. Your $5 may be
the seed of a vast future harvest of
good: your $5 sown in the Salyation
Army field is seed sown in good
ground and may bring “sixty-fold or
a hundred-fold.”
The Salvation Army has made good
in times of peace, has made good on
the battlefield and is making good
during this reconstruction period.
They are 100 per cent efficiency and
rendering a service worthy of their
rame —Salvation Army.
While Atlanta is asked to contrib-
Lte SBO,OOO, more than $90,000 will be
spent in Atlanta.
Reclaiming these poor unfortunate
“down and outs” is reducing the fu
ture ranks of Bolshevism. Do your
best for the unfortunates.
