One Of our Atlanta exchanges in
speaking Of the Industries of that
growing city, has this compliment
airy mention of the Foote & Davies
Company
Commencing business in the
summer Of 1891, in the back rooms
of an old building on Broad street,
now long since RACED to make room
for magnificent modern buildings
and the most approved machinery
and appliances, the history of the
Foote Il Davies Company is a story
Of phenomenal growth and multi
piled successes that is hardly rival
ed by that of the city itself. and
certainly not paralleled by any like
enterprise south Of the Ohio river.
One does not have to go very
far into the business methods Of this
company to perceive the reason for
this pre-eminence. 1t Is really very
simple. The motto Of the company
The Best in Printing and the Al
lied Arts is an expression of its
artistic ideals and when you add to
this the theory that what is best for
its patrons interest is best for it.,
and its insistencc ON absolute hon
esty in every relation, you have all
that makes the difference.
The plant is owned and CON
trolled by the men who operate il
and give all their time and energies
to its success. They have a clearly
defined theory, and the ability, and
courage to force that theory into
practice. Each department has at
its head a kindred spirit who
stamps its product with the infalli-
BILE technique of a master hand.
In addition to Printing, Litho-
graphing, Engraving and all that
The Best in Printing and the Al
lied Arts imply, a Loose Leaf Led
ger Department, in charge of an eX-
pert accountant, has been opened to
accommodate a growing demand for
labor-saving systems Of accounting;
and last but not least an Office Sup
ply Department where viii be found
every requirement Of the up-to-date
Office, from a lead pencil or sheet of
carbon paper TO massive roll top
desk, a sectional book case or a case
of steel furniture, all of the best
grade. "
The city of Atlanta, the State
of Georgia has commendable pride
in the merited success of this great
printing establishment
