Men; This Place Is Unsurpassed
Among the Roman*, bathing
ami bath were regarded as bein£
equal in importance with, eating
and' food. Those super-civilized
pagans added to mere bathing all
the refinement that their art, in
corporated in a Lucullus, gave to
eating.
The banquet hall and the bath
—in them were to be found all
that was luxurious, all that was
marvelous.
• But now, in the twentieth cen
tury, in practical, prosaic, busi
ness-like Atlnnta, in the basement
of a jnoderu miracle of a sky
scraper; 1 is to be found that which
had ho peer in the Rome of old.
On Monday, in the Candler
building, was opened the moat
beautiful barber ahop and bath
house the South ever saw—and
one which has few, if any, equals
in America. %
It ia ell a mystic maze of marble
and mirror. \
The pilces of woodwork in the
rooms—covering half of the
ground floor of the massive Can
dler building—may be counted on
the 'fingers of two hands. What
little of wood there is is mahoga
ny veneered. .
There is arranged ^every device
for the care and comfort of man
that the tonsorial art has devel
oped. And he may also take any
sort of bath known to the twen
tieth century—*11 the way from an
ordinary tub of warm or cold wa
ter to the -electric light cabinet
bath, the last being a marvelous
development.
A word about it now.
There is a cabinet, some ten feet
high and five feet square aa to
base, in which nrc many inenndea-
S. ,
cent electric lights. The cabinet
i» made of wholly marble, proper
ly welded so that it is practically
one piece. The sufferer from lum
bago, rheumatism or n desire to
try something he never went up
against before, gets into this

cabinet, the door is shut and the
lights are turned on. From
these comes a heat, growing grad-
.uully', which is the • incarnation
of aridity. Nothing dryer can
be found. It opens the pores, the
perspiration falls all over itself
rushing out, and it is said the
rheumatic pains are greatly alle
viated. It is n Turkish bath, only
nut a- drop of water is used.
■ The new shop isj under the
management of W. II. Reynolds,
proprietor. Mr. Reynolds is from
■ Auburn, N. Y. He knows his bus
iness. He has made a study of it.
He has come to the conclusion
that there is much money to be
made therein in Atlanta, and he
is spending a good deal of money
in equipping what is undoubtedly
the finest establishment of its kind
in the South. • t
A conservative estimate of the
cost of the barber shop and bath
house is $15,000. A good deal of
this is, of course, permanent. It is *
part of the Candler building.
Tho beauty of the Pickens coun
ty marble in varying hues—from
nlrnost white to cold bluish gray
and all the way to rich dark choc
olate, is the ground work on
whicli, all is based. It is practi
cally all, the only material used
being a hand-full of wood, used
where stone or metal could not,
plate glass mirrors and nickeled

The pool, for Instance, with its
sic|cs and steps of white marble, is
flauked on four sides by superb
mirrors. Flooded with electric
• \
lights the place is one of extreme
beauty, which is heightened by
a superb stained glass picture in
set into the wall. The pool is 20
by 10 feet and is more than 0 feet
deep.
There are equipments for Turk
ish baths, Russian baths, shower
baths, needle baths, plunge’baths
—all in addition to the ordinary
brand of tub bath to which most
are accustomed. ,i’’
In the barber shop proper has
been placed six chairs. Each of
these are handled by at} ex
