YOUNG GOULD BEAT
JOSHUA CRANE, JR.

LONDON, May Jay Gould and Joshua
Crane, jr, fought their battle again In the
first round of the English court tennis
championship at the Queens Club, IN Lon
DON yesterday afternoon. Tine result was
the same as in the American championship
tournament, but the match was not so in
teresting In fact, as an exposition of ten
mis- by two frst-class players 1t IS not too
much to say that the play was somewhat
disappointing.
Mr. Crane frequently found the net with
easy returns. Mr.. Goulds play for open
ings was much more severe than that of his
older opponent. and he got back everything
that was possible His service. too, was
much more effective, but he seldom sue
ceeded in killing the ball.
In the second game of the second set Mr.
Gould won the game to thirty. each of hts
four strokes being made by openings He
found the winning gallery three times and
the grille once
Mr. Crane only won one game in each
OF the first two sets. and although vantage
was called I'm his favor In the fourth game
of the last set he was eventually beaten
pointless.
The score In Mr.. Gould's favor was 81,
81. SO.
In the other match C. E. latham beat r.
X. Cross by three sets to one.

PRODUCTION OF ANTHRACITE.
Tonnage in 1905 Largest in History
Of the Industry.

According to preliminary report on the
production of anthracite in 1905 made pup
lie by the United States geological survey
today. the tonnage during that year was
the largest IN the history OF the Industry.
The official explanation OF this is that II
partly is due TO the experience OF the trade
in the preceding severe winters and part
ly by the fear of impending trouble in the
anthracite region, which caused both deaf
ers and consumers to lay In heavier stocks
In 1906 the production OF anthracite
amounted to e.3s9. 152 long tons, value
sl41, S79. 900. The average price of antnra-
cite per ton was s2.25. the average number
of men employed in the mines WAS 1875. iu6
and the average days worked 215.
An increase in the shipment of the smaii-
er sizes of coal is noted.
The disastrous effect of strikes on the
trade is shown in the record for 1902, when
the production of anthracite was only 3D.

ELEGANT OFFICES
 FOR MASSENGALE
South's Oldest Advertising Agency Now on Sixteenth Floor of the New
 Candler Building.
From The Atlanta Journal Sunday. Feb. 1, 1906

The Massengale Advertising Agency of which Mir. St. Elmo Massengale Is President and founder, Is the oldest ad- vertising agency in the South. It has been established some twelve years in this city. having been for the past seven years in the Austell building, but has recently moved to the sixteenth floor of the new Candler building. and now oc- cupies large suite of offices.
 A visitor who called yesterday and was very much surprised to see the handsome suite of offices, was shown through the various departments of this modern advertising agency. The art department and ad-writing depart ment show the artists and ad-writers at work. designing advertisements for large advertisers throughout the coun- try. The printing and type-setting de- partment and checking rooms and vari- ous other departments are all in the hands of experienced advertising men, and the South is to be congratulated on having as fully equipped advertising agency as there is in America.
 Advertising goes out from the Mas sengale Advertising Agency, in Allan ia. to publications in every State in the Union and to foreign countries. This agency is handling the adverti sing for
 
 sections of the country, having &C., counts in New York and some in the West. as well as in every Southern State. The Massengale Advertising Agency has become a national factor in advertising, and is using nearly every magazine and newspaper of any con- sequence that is published in the United States.
 The visitor was very much astonished at the magnificent view of the city from their offices. The view of Allan to from Mir. Massengale's private of flee resembles New York city, looking down town. while the beautiful noun 1ains in the distance are sight that can be had from no other viewpoint in the South.
 There is always a disposition to look for "a cat in the bag" whenever any but in the case of the modern advertis- ing agency there is no cat. but an actual and large amount of valuable service rendered absolutely without cost to the advertiser. and no strings tied to 1t, either--no conditions sur rounding the transaction that ''even up' in other ways.
 Of course, advertising agents and agencies are not in business for phil anthropic reasons, nor do they furnish their services without remuneration. The many large concerns engaged in buying and selling advertising space, planning. preparing and placing adver- Using matter. and their rapid growth. Is sufficient proof that the business is not losing one.
 Yet the fact remains that first-class agency service is free to anyone who
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-02-09

f spends money for the general adver- l tising of any articles or line of mer-
 chandise. The explanation is simple | and reasenabIe: Every reputable pub 1 lication--newspaper, magazine, trade paper or periodical of any kind--recog- nizes the ability of good advertising agency to create new advertising, as we'll as to increase the effectiveness 1 (hence add to the volume of advertis- ing already being published), and in recognition of the value of the agency, as an auxiliary to the publisher, allows d commission---small 1t is true---on all advertising which comes through the agency's hands This commission is never allowed on advertising given direct to the publisher by the adver- tiser, and in such a case the adver- tiser must. pay the same rate as he would pay the agency for the same ad- vertising.
 As an example of what an advertis , ing agency of recognised standing is and does, it may be interesting to brief Iy outline the work of the Massengale Advertising Agency of this city. about which the foregoing has been written.
 In the first place must be considered the men at the helm of this successful concern. The President of the com pany is MT St. Elmo Massengale, an advertising man of long experience. who began his career when small boy in the offices of one of the South's great daiiies. rapidly worked his way to the position of travelling representative or a prominent religious paper, then es- tablishing headquarters in New York city as n general representative of sev- eral Southern publications. After a thorough study of the field, MT Mas sengale established, in 1897, in this city. the agency bearing his name, still retaining his New York connections, but later concentrating his entire en- ergy and capital in his Atlanta busi- ness.
 Tn the employ of the agency is corps of competent clerks. bookkeep-. CTS, stenographers, artists and adver- tisement writers. The system of book-
 keeping and letter filing in use is en- tirely modern and wonderfully accurate and complete. The checking of adver- tising placed in the various pubiica- lions reouires a large amount of work. as over a thousand papers are recelVeo daily and all kept on file.
 Preparing copy and illustrations is a very important part of the agency work, and is given especial attention. The advertising matter sent out bears the stamp of excellence in conception ano execution.
 Rates and specimen copies Of every publication issued in this country are on file, and any advertiser can secure full and reliable information as to cir culation. character. cost and value or any advertising medium upon applica- tion, either by mail or in person
