THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. CANDLER BUILDING Most Elegant Tonsor In Point of Magnificence, Beauty ial And Bath Emp and Variety of Comforts For BARBER SHOP AND BATH HOUSE orium In The South 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 W. H. REYNOLDS, WHO NUMBER8 HI8 PERSONAL CUSTOM- ERS BY THE HUNDRED8. MR.

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 atecl. • y 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 pert. Tonsorial artists, they eall themselves. 1 They crucker-jaek good barbers, BARBER SHOP NOW OPEN.
