DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE MEN
With merchandise shooting skyward
and prices changing more often than
the weather, merchants should #eek
to effect connections with firms who
car protect them on the important
matters of both merchandise and
prices. The howl has gone abroad
that merchandise is not only sky high
in price, but is hard to get.
Some merchants who are gifted
with far-sightedness have hMWhls
call and are consequently “uhder
cover” to an extent. However, the
point to be considered is whether or
rot they have bought to the full limit
o? their ability to buy and get what
they bought.
It-any merchant who szells dry goods
ond notions has not protected himself
will take sound-advice, he will place
his orders now. John K. Silvey Com
pany received on last Tuesday the
sargest shipment of dry goods and
potions that has ever come to Atlanta
assigned to one firm. Five solid car
loads came on that day. In money
this shipment represented $200,000,
However, this was only part of the
#hipment, the end of the week show
ipg the arrival of eight carjoads in all.
The John K. Silvey Company did
not make the huge investment with
a view to holding this merchandise
for thé rise that will reach here this
fali. Of course, they could do this if
they were inclined to, but the policy
of the firm, the one upon which they
have built a monumental success, is
core of fatrness, and holding this mer
chandise to grab a big profit would
not be consistent.

The Indorsement of a farm imple
ment, or any enterprise, from Charles
S. Barrett, national president of the
Farmers’ Union, is so rare that the
Lanham Cotton Cultivator Company
especially appreciates a tribute to
their newly-perfected machine from
him. A few days ago Mr. Barrett
wrote frcm his farm in Ucion “ity:
“The maechine is doing all that you
lsaid it would do., We are pleased. I
belleve that your cotton-chopper-cul-
Itlvamr will prove a great benefit to
lthe-counn-growlng industry.” “
(Signed) C. 8. BARRETT.
l The Lanham machine 1s expected
to prove of tremendous service to
the cotten planter, as it does the
work of from eight to ten farm hands,
and labor costs are mounting higher
|evary year,
Richard 8. Edmonds, editor of The
Manufacturers’ Record, the lendlnig
industrial paper in the country, said
in a front page editorial a few days
Ago:
“We venture the prediction that be
fore next year the labor shortage
will be so great that business men
and farmers will be scrambling for
men. To meet this condition, lahor
saving machinery should be brought
into use everywhere, and as rapidly
as possitle. Household work can bhe
greatly lessened by modern electric
equipment, Work on the farm and in
the factory still offers an almost lim.

cle power,
“The wise man will be the one who
now lays out his entire ecampaign to
utilize to the fullest extent every la
bor-saving machine available for his
factory, his farm or his home.”
The Lanham cotton-chopper is des
tined, it is believed, to meet this la
bor condition in the cotton field, It
has been given thorough tests in the
field ‘recently, and the hundreds of
experienced farmers who witnessed
its work, including some of the fore
most planters of the State, have giv
en it their “O. K.” Several of them
bought machines, and many said they
would be customers next spring.

Come From Hirshberg Co.
“Putting 'em right over the home
plate” s the news that comes from
the WMiring Line nq:md of the Hirsh
berg Company. These giants of the
road left about two weeks ago with
their fall samples and have been hitting
a lively elip. Any one who had seen
them leave would have witnessed their
enthusgiasm and would know that an or
fnntunnn that was sold on their own
ines would be able to sell the trade
The yardstick by which their success is
measured is the volume of orders Hhvy
have been sending in each day,
Mr, 1. A. Hirshberg, who is president
of the firm, said that never in their
entire history had the present large
volume of business been equaled, much
leas surpassed Last year's business
was a whale, and up to that time had
led all records, but this year they are
away ahead. Mr. Hirshberg attributes
this increase to the fact that his firm
not only has a line of merchandise far
superior to any that has been previous
1y handled, but is larger and more va
ried.

Will Begin Canning
Operations Monday
Proving up the certainty of well-made
plans is w{n’at the Georgia Preserving
Company is doing. The old adage of
gl:maynur work then work your plan
as again proven to be a good one,
Wisely seeing the natural advantages
that the State of Georgia offered an
enterprise like theirs the Georgia Pre
serving Company decided to make hay
while the sun was shining, and con
sequently they have made good on ev
erything they promised to make good
on. -
Bright and early Monday \nomlng the
company will begin canning string beans
and cucumbers, They have been. re
ceiving each day an average of 1,000
drums of these vegetables and they are
all of the best selected qualities. The
company has made a firm and inflexible
rule that nothing but the best is good
enough for their trade. It is this policy
which has been the keynote of their suc
cessful operations in all branches of
th;vlir business down to the smallest de
tails.
Mr. O, J. Sala, of the company, says
the crops have been excellent-and large,
and that they will be able to get all
the products needed. In consequence
they are looking forward so a large
amount of business, and they will most
likely get it.

who have sample rooms in the Central
Building, representing the Bradley Knit

view regarding the knit goods situation
which was filled with points of great
interest, and show how success comes
to the firm which is enterprising.
In ten years the Bradley Knitting
Company's business has risen from
$40,000 a year to over $4,000,000. This
is putting a proposition on the map
in great style. Of course, the high
grade of the merchandise, efficient man
agement and salesmanship, with a pol
fcy of the fairest kind, have each played
a part in the development of this
achievement,
The company is the largest manu
facturer of knit goods in the world.
That means a great deal, as there are
several other large concerns manulac-I

By way of illustrating how cleverlyl
every angle of their business has been

To manufacture their lines, which in

Despite High Prices

White Goods Going Big
In white goods the sftuation contin
ues to be one of the strongest in the
whole dry goods field. At no time has
the market for fine fabrics suffered
from the fluctuations which affected the
rest of the cotton market so violently
from time to time, and #he present con
dition of scarcity and high prices is
one for which converters and distrib
utors have been as well prepared as
was possible in the face of persistentry
curtailed productioms
There has been no noticeable change
in the demand since last week. White
goods are moving well at retail, and
buying continues active in the face of
high prices, particularly of sheer fab
rics, for which the season is now well
under way. In the primary markets
conveyters are experiencing extreme
difficulty in obtaining fine construc
tions, and prices have gone up to am
almost prohibitive level,
About 13,000,000 yards of Government
owned cotton goods will-soon be offered
for sale. The materials to be offered
include sheetings, twills, ticklni‘s. ven
etians, ducks, galatea and bleached and
rubberizeqd sateens. Details of the sale
