Holly and MistIetoe Reach Atlanta Markets
TREES PLENTIFUL

The first consignment Of Christmas
trees were offered for sale today. They
came from the Flint river Rocky creek
and Utoy creek districts, in Fulton,
Campbell and Clayton counties; and by
the end Of the week the firm receiving
them will have sold nearly a thousand.
While an estimate of the total number
to be used in Atlanta might go amiss,
it may be stated that approximately
5000 Of $4,000 Atlanta families, togeth-
er with numerous churches and socie-
ties will each purchase one. The trees
are mostly cedar, pine and spruce, al
though there are a few frs and holly
bushes
Holly comes from all over the county
notably from the wooded dells Of the
Buckhead district, but mlstletoe is re-
ceived in the largest quantities from
south Georgia, where the warmer eli
mate has caused it to thrive.
The supply of trees is good this year
according to local market men, and the
demand also is steady. Prices remain
about the same from year to year.

fore Christmas eve. Besides, the little
berries would drop off with long keep

lose all their charm.
Older folk are not 50 concerned over
mistietoe however. Their mistletoe
days are over and now they turn to
holly wreaths, which grace the front

they can't reasonably expect TO pay ex-
penseS. In fact, they will be fortunate II

Pullman and baggage car and the best
the country affords is none too good for
them. No, II isn't a money making
scheme. It's advertising.
That's the Interior motive-to advertise
the university far above Cayuga's
waters" The pictures will show scenes
and scenery from the most beautiful col
lege campus, scenically speaking, in the
country. The pictures alone would be
worth the price of admission, even II the
glee club was not famous for it's music.
Tickets are now selling at the Gable

mand for seats.
