INVITATIONS To
BIC CONVENTION
Snappy Talks on Pertinent Topics
Observation-Disclosures May
GO Above 1000 Mark.

Invitations are being sent out as
rapidly as possible to almost every
merchant in six States who does a
business Of any consequence-thou
sands in all-summoning the dealers
to the Southern Merchants Conven-
ton to be held in Atlanta during the
first two weeks of August.
Letters to various Atlanta firms
which are taking an interest in the
forthcoming event demonstrate the
enthusiasm which is being aroused.
Il have received letters from deal
ers scattered all the way from vir-
ginia to Texas" says Boiling H.
Jones, one Of the most active workers
for the success of the convention. 81
feel sure the attendance this year will
go far above the 1000 mark set last
season"
Indications are that the first days
session will be one of the most in
teresting. During this session, the
diversification Of crops will be dis
cussed. There is plenty Of meat in
the topics assigned for other sessions,
however, and none of them is likely
to be dull
Arrangements were made with the
Forsyth Theater last week whereby
the whole house is reserved for the
delegates to the convention on the
nights of August 5. and August IL.
Arrangements have been made for a
reception at the Piedmont Driving
Club, and for several thousand seats
for the ball game at Ponce DeLeOn
Park between Atlanta and Chatta-
noOga August is.
w II. White, Of the White Provi-
sion Company, will speak to the con-
vention on the opportunity offered
Georgia farmers in stock growing.
This promises to be one Of the best
addresses Of the convention.
ut will be a real convention" says
H. T. Moore, secretary. For in
stance, we are told that merchants
in the smaller towns have been among
the defenders of the one-crop system.
When crop diversification comes up
for discussion they are likely to air
their views in no uncertain language.
They are close to the farmer, and
what they have to say carries weight
The idea is to avoid loading the
program with heavy addresses. We
want Unconstitutional talks of five
minute length-short speeches with a
punch in them. 1t looks as If we
will get them"

Used Atlanta Underwear,
But Surprised When Told So
Professional Man Had Acquaintance With Man

Where are you going?' asked the
Senior Partner as the Junior Part
ner arose from his desk in the Can
der Building and put on his hat
"Over 10 the Peter Hill factory"

"Of course"
'T1l swear! I've been wearing that
stuff for four years, and never knew It
was made here"
This Is a conversation which &C
tually occurred. Further, the man
who didn't know Peter Hill under
wear is made in Atlanta had been a
speaking acquaintance OF =. n. Hill
for several years. He never con-
nected the well known goods with the
maker.
This is another text the promoters
Of the permanent exhibit OF Atlanta

SALES TERMS
ADOPTED BY
LUMBERMEN
National Dealers Association
Makes Rules to Keep All
Transactions Uniform;

Following considerable agitation in
the last year regarding terms of sale,
the National Wholesale Lumber Deal
ers' Association has sent to its mem
bers a set of rules covering this
point that it hopes to make uniform
all over the country. This was done
by the association in recognition of
the difficulties of doing business under
the variation of sales terms that ex-
lists at the present time.
Particular insistence is made on
impressing on buyers the necessity
OF remembering that the terms Of sale
under which an order is accepted are
as much a part of the contract as the
prices at which the lumber is sold.
CANNOT STRETCH TIME.
The purchaser has no more right
according to the association COM
mittee on terms of sale and trade
ethics, to stretch the time allowed
for payment or to violate other terms
of sale than the seller has to raise
prices after they have once been
fixed
These are the sales terms adopted
by the association:
The terms hereon are those
agreed on by both buyer and
seller and are a part of the sale
agreement
Settlement to be made prompt
ly on receipt of each car.
Freight, net cash, balance by
note at go days from date of in
voice or less / IL per cent dis
count for cash if paid within If
or ! per cent for cash If paid
within 30 days from date of in
voice.
No discount allowed after 80
days
WHEN CAR is DELAYED.
II car is not received within the
above discount times, and dis
count is desired, prepayment on
account will not be held as ac-
ceptance of the shipment and the
right to make corrections and
complaint will not be forfeited
thereby. In making delivered
prices. cost of goods delivered at
destination is guaranteed, but
not against delay in transit.
Claims for count or quality
must be reported as soon as car
is unloaded and tally proved. No
claims allowed if not prepaid
within ten days after unloading.
General Conditions-AIl con-
tracts and agreements are made
contingent upon strikes, fires,
floods, inability to secure cars,
delays of carriers and other de-
lays unavoidable and beyond our
control.
In making delivered prices we
simply guarantee the cost OF
goods at your place, but are in
no way responsible for their safe
delivery.
Under these rules all orders signed
by buyers are subject to the approval
of the home offices.

DENMARK SEES GOODS.

There is being held In Copenhagen
an exhibition of modern office furni-
ture and mechanical appliances for
eNpedlting the matters necessary TO
run economically an up-to date active
business concerns counting room.
About so per cent of the exhibitors
are displaying American goods,
The impression made on the public
by the American exhibits is very ia
vorable, and IL may safely be stated
that the exhibition OF safes typewrlt-
ers, adding machines, indeNing de-
vices. steel furniture, Office chairs,
cash registers and stationery is SUI
perior to the similar displays made by
German, English. Swedish and Danish
firms.

ness has grown steadily, and now
the trademark has wide fame. par
ticularly in the Southern States.
The uninitiated never can realize
how many different kinds of things a
man can choose to wear beneath his
outer clothing until visit is paid
to the Peter Hill factory. Blue, green,
lavender, pink and tan and just plain
white are among the colors; checks
and stripes the patterns; silk, cotton
and flannel the materials.
Winter Athletic Underwear.
The newest wrinkle is a line Of very
light flannel underwear Of athletic
cut, designed for the chap who wants
loose fitting, short sleeve and short
leg underwear in the winter as well
as In summer, but who hesitates to
go through December with the fimy
garments Of June.
No other factory has adopted this
idea, but the success Of fall sales al
ready made by the Atlanta concern
indicate that competitors soon will
fan in line
Making underwear is just plain
sewing. and no more interesting than
any operation with the familiar high
speed, electrically driven sewing ma
chimes, which seem the limit of me-
ChanlCal ingenuity.
The trick is all in the designing
how TO give comfort and fit, plus
style.
Always New Ideas.
There's always something new, as,
for instance, a Peter Hill idea Of
sizing union suits according to the
length of g mans body, as we'll as
according to its circumference.
Neckwear demands more hand
work. First, the silks have to be cut
by hand with sharp knives instead OF
with machines. The sewing is done
by machine, but the neckties have to
be turned right side out, lined, press
ed. and boxed by hand. This is what
costs in necktie, for although silk Is
expensive enough II does not take any
great quantity to make an ordinary
bow or fourth hand tie.

something over 1000 members.

Customs Decision
Interests Firm Here
New York Judge Of Appraisers Court
Rules on Baskets of Mixed
Material.

Judge McClelland, of the Board of
United States General Appraisers,
handed down a decision in New York
last week which is of particular in
terest to a thriving Atlanta concern.
A basket importing firm In the
East brought goods from abroad
which were made of braided rush In
natural color and stained willow. The
customs appraisers assessed duty Of
40 per cent, as stained willow, while
the importers claimed they should
pay only IS per cent, as natural rush.
The importer lost before Judge Nc
Clelland.
The Bombayreed Importing and
Manufacturing Company Of Atlanta
imports considerable of the same
class of goods, and watched the de-
cision with interest. In the past, 1t
is said, II has been the custom to de-
eide whether the duty shall be 35 or
40 per cent, according to whether the
natural rush or the stained yellow
predominates in the design
e. K Ward, of the Bombayreed
company, Is in Grand Rapids, Mich,
where his firm is making an exhibit
at the furniture show. A similar ex-
hibit is being made at the furniture
show in High Point, n. c.
Publication in Hearst's American of
a statement by Mr.. Ward that Ameri-
can farmers could make good profits
by cultivating the native willow on
their waste lands brought a flood OF
letters from farmers submitting sam
pies of willows and requests for val
uatlOns on them. Mr. Ward sticks to
his statement that there is money in
It for the farmer, and with very little
work, but he says the willow must be
cultivated. as otherwise the shoots
are too short and are crooked and
knotty. A Government bulletin tells
just how this should be done.
