in Atlantic in 1910. He was
then a newspaper reporter and
special writer. Since that time
he and Mr. Edwin +. Johnson,
another newspaper reporter
and special writer, have
formed an advertising agency
in Atlanta.
When the cotton people
were in New York recently
and had as their guest PreSi-
dent Taft, | met Mr.. DalliS and
he recalled TO my mind a talk
we had while was in Atlanta,
which he said turned his
thoughts toward the aivertiS-
ing business. The germ was
planted in his system, and it
commenced to work. He in
fectai Mr.. johnson with the
germ, too, and it worked on
him.
These two men, through
their newspaper experience,
are HUMAN INTEREST copy
writers. They have the nose
for REAL ADVERTISING

column that a good reporter

Using writer-that a reporter
ial experience is a wonderful
asset to an advertising writer.
! asked Mr.. Dallis a number
Of questions about the South
and Southwest, because we
are all impressed with the
PROGRESS that section of
the Country has made in the
past few years.
OF course, Mr.. DalliS is en-
thusiaStic about this section
realizes, as most OF us Go, that
the prosperity OF the whole
country has heen dependent
somewhat. in HE last decade
upon the progress made ny the
people in the South ana
Southwest.
There is a splendid oppor-
tunity for the DEVELOPMENT Of
ALL LINES Of huSineSs-gen-
eral ami local - throughout
this territory.
These two young men have
acknowledgements. As a
matter OF fact-the aivertiS-
ing OF the SOUTHERN COT

for a time hal ceased advertiS-
ing because j! had not obtained
satisfactory results.
They have been doing some
unusual advertising Of the
products Of this company,
namely: "WeSs0r Snow Drift

They have. in addition to
these product, thai they are

will develop then.
