GIRLS
BUY MILLINERY
MADE At HOME
Half the Hats Seen on Peachtree
Street Are Made Here, but
the Fact Is UnheraIded.

Half the women's hats seen on
Peachtree Street are made right in
Atlanta.
The fair Peachtree promenaders
don't know it; the milliners they pat
ronize don't know 1t; in many cases
the jobbers themselves don't know 1t.
There are three factories in Atlanta
making women's hats, of straw, felt,
plush, hemp and the myriad other
materials which go to bedeck milady's
colffure and frame her pretty face
But as soon as the hat leaves these
factories the manufacturers lose their
identity. The hat is marked with the
jobber's label II may be marked
New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans
or even London The fact that II is
made in Atlanta is nowhere to be dis
covered
One manufacturer tells, with a
grin. OF Atlanta milliners who
Stocked up" in New York-with At
lanta made hats.
Altogether, it is an interesting bust
ness.
The American Hat Manufacturing
Company, one of the largest of the
three Atlanta factories, imports
straws direct from China, Japan,
Italy and Germany These straws
are plated abroad. and either are
dyed there or bleached and dyed in
Camden, n. ].
Japan sends hemp braid italy fur
nishes the milans, leghorns and tus-
cans. Germany furnishes a peculiar
material known as Neapolitan braid.
which. though few know it, is made
from American cotton. China fur
nishes coarse straws.
So much for the straws. The felt
bodies come from abroad, in the
rough-queer, looking toadstools Of
various shades. Silks, ribbons, veil
vets, pushes and ornaments are car
ried in quantity enough to stock dry
goods store of large proportions.
Just now the factories are busy
with the hats to be worn this fall and
winter, and with misses and chill
dren's hats for spring, 1914.
Sample rooms already are filled
with fall and spring lines. dazzling
arrays of colors, and seemingly in al
most every shape, but with smaller
hats predominating.
The making of a hat may be said to
begin in the room where a skilled
workman makes plaster molds accu-
rately defining the shapes, From
these plaster affairs, metal dies arr
made These dies are put in the
presses and heated by gas flames
The rough shapes, either felt. velvet
straw or hemp. are stamped with
these hot dies and held in them unit
dry. When removed the heat has
baked the sticky Sizing" until the
shapes are firm.
From the presses the velvet and
plush hats go to a workman who
steama them and brushes up the nap
to its original beauty.
The straw shapes are made In the
factory. Ingeniously designed sewing
machines, manipulated by skillful
girls, sew the braid round and round,
until a tiny knot grows into a gigantic
hat In the straw season $50 girls
are busy at these machines.

him show visitors through. If a
visitor manifests interest in one line,
or several, let him telephone at once
to the manufacturers of these lines
to send a salesman. / believe, too,
that manufacturers in the outskirts
of the city will find 1t profitable to
use the exhibit building for their
downtown office. This is done else
where with profit.
Atlanta should have four times
the payroll it now has. This is the
way to go about it."
EVansville's Experience.
Boiling H. Jones told of the ex
perience Of Sc furniture manufactur-
ers in Evansville, Ind, who put up a
building and displayed their lines in
it, keeping the ground floor for their
offices. They find it easier to get
prospective customers to look at their
wares, and also find the selling cost
cut to 3 per cent
THAT convinced me-" said Mr.
Jones. Did any manufacturer here
ever sell goods for per cent mer-
cost? This argument
alone seems to me unanswerable."
He spoke of the changes which have
come about in the Southern field
within five years. No longer is it
possible to sell merchant a fun car
load of one line. Therefore, he ar

gued. the exhibit Will be valuable IN
getting buyers to make up mixed
carloads of Atlanta made goods.
Other cities, rivals of Atlanta, are
doing this. he said, and Atlanta must,
to keep what it has, to say nothing of
expanding.
Advertising no longer is a matter
of buying a few inches of newspaper
space, asserting through this space
that John Smith makes good
beds" said c. S. Dobs. advertising
is the science of creating a demand.
Publicity is the cheapest known
method of selling goods. 1t may be
newspaper publicity; 1t may be bill
kind you are considering. 1t may
better be all three.
Like Shop Windows.
II believe this exhibit will have the
same effect as the Whitehall Street
windows. A man comes downtown to
buy pair Of shoes. AS he walks
along the street, he sees hats, neck
wear and walking sticks displayed.
These remind him that he needs such
articles. The result is that he buys
more than the shoes he set out after"

he talks.

yet l talked to a bank director
to-day who did not know that car

thought that the famed Atlanta shoes
really were made in Boston and sent
here to be sold under the local label.

aggregate shows little contraction.

bread from the growth of Atlanta,
and who owes more Of that bread to

ATLANTA MANUFACTURERS AND JOBBERS ARE DONG l
Silk Dyers Strike;
Feathers Face Bar;
Flowers in Favor
MIiIlners Think That for Once They
Can Predict Styles for Fall
We'll In Advance.

Flowers win be popular on wom-
ems hats for tall and winter wear.
In July this Is dangerous predic-
ton. Circumstances, however, make
1t fairly safe prophecy. in the opin-
ion Of C. B, Palmer, of NJ. Kutz Co,
wholesale milliners-
Dame Fashion might take a notion
to dictate ribbons. But the silk dy-
ers' strikes in Paterson, N. J., have
caused an increase of 20 per cent in
the cost OF ribbons, and even at these
advanced prices. deliveries can not
be made. At best, goods can not be
promised before August Is or Sep
tember /, and even If the mills re-
open. they are likely to be over
whelrned with the orders which have
been accommodating.
Feathers, again, might have been
Fashions favorites. But right now
there is trouble in Congress over the
importation Of feathers. The milli-
ners and the Audubon Society are in
the throes Of a bitter struggle which
will decide whether feathers will be
admitted at all under the new tariff.
Remain only fur and flowers. For
three seasons, velvet and silk flow
ers have been increasing in popular
ity on fall and winter hats, and. with.
the scarcity of other materials, are
likely to take the ascendency this
fall.
small hats will rule-that is, small
, er than those which have been worn
for the past few seasons. Crowns will
be round, with turned-up brims, ac-
cording to Mr.. Palmer. What will be
the favorite colors, besides the sta
pie blues browns and black, no one
will know until September l.
The Kutz Co. statesmen started out
last Monday to cover the Southern
States for fall business.

EngliShman'S Criticism of
AmeriCanStOreSAnSWer
Selfridge's Manager Unjustifed in Saying Gus
toners Wait Too Long for Parcels.

A. z. Cowper, one Of the important
men In the organization of Selfrdge
e. Co, which in turn has, perhaps, the
most important department store in
London, recently made a visit to the
United States. He spent most of his
time, of course, in looking over
American department stores, and be-
fore he departed for England freed
himself Of some criticism.
One thing which struck me was
the time it takes to complete pur-
chase and get your goods wrapped
and delivered" he said.
AT home we have no bundle wrap
pers; the clerks wrap the packages,
and we find It saves time and mis-
takes. When a customer has made a
purchase and the goods are shipped
by carrier or messenger to a distant
cash and bundle desk, every second
she has to wait is magnified to a
minute, whereas II the goods are
wrapped by the clerk, the customer
Is getting the full attention Of that
sslesperson, and If a minute or two
should be lost, she is seeing the ac-
ton all the time, and does not feel
that she has been lost sight of. In
Selfridge's we use cash registers, and
we find them great savers of time"
Atlanta merchandise experts do not
agree with the English student of
store service,
Mr. Cowper, in the opinion OF va
rious Atlantans approached on the
subject magnifles the Importance Of
the transactions where the purchases
actually are taken away by the buyer.
They remark that while It may be
the custom in London for shoppers to
carry home their purchases, nine out
of ten customers in Atlanta demand
delivery by wagon.
At any rate, they say, there is very
little delay, and 1t is much better to
free the salespeople from the duty
Of wrapping packages.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-07-06

Managers of Atlanta department
stores made tests at random to dem
onstrate that It takes on an average
80 seconds for the delivery Of a pack
age and the making Of change.
Luoian York, manager of Rich's
says:
we have q system which we be-
lieve is the best yet devised from
the viewpoint Of the customer, and
Selfridge's certainly have nothing to
compare with it We use an 1denti-
fication coin
Departs at Once.
Most of our charge customers
have their parcels delivered After
the transaction is made the customer
merely gives her name and address
to the salesperson, shows her ldenti-
fication coin, and departs at once.
Even when the customer takes the
parcel with her, the wrapper in the
stand has It ready In a Jiffy. Time
records to gauge our wrappers show
that on an average they use less
than a minute.
THE delivery of packages, after all,
is simply a minor matter. What our
American people want broadly is
service-the right merchandise at the
right time at the right price. In Eng
lish stores customers still are impor-
tuned TO buy; IN fact, in many Of the
stores It is almost impossible to leave
without buying. Fancy such q oondt-
ton here!
Again, here we make every effort
to get what the customer wants. We
anticipate the styles, bring on new
models and patterns.
when the customer purchases
these goods she buys them at our
risk-if they are not pleasing to her
when she gets them home she is al
liberty to return them. Here the Gus
toner is always right-in England.
from what / understand, she is more
at the mercy OF the storekeeper."

Rome, Ca, Exhibitors
Sign Up for Space

Rome, Ga, is Growing over the fact
that it made definite plans for per-
manent exhibit before Atlanta.
Twelve manufacturers already have
signed contracts for space, and nine
more are about to do so. 1t is ex-
pected that 1000 feet of floor space
will be used.
Arrangements have been made for
a building. and the exhibit win be
ready within two months, Louis Spen-
GER, managing director says.
Included among the exhibitors are
a stove works, a machine factory, a
foundry, a furniture factory, a trunk
factory and a spring bed factory.
Some of these lines are duplicated.

MORE BUYERS THAN PEACHES.

NEW YORK. July 5.-Buyers re-
turning here from Georgia say that it
is generally estimated the peach crop
of Georgia will run about 800 cars.
According to the railroad men, they
do not expect to move over rs cars a
day out OF the State at the flush Of

CONFERENCE ON
 CANAL MATTER
Mayor Will Return to Dis cuss Subject With Mem bcrs of Interested Bodies Next Week-SOme Rea- sons Why

on the return of Mayor Lloyd Christy to the city next week. there will be an important conference on the subject of removing the town ditch This was an announcemcnt from the board of trade yesterday. On invitation of the board. Mayor Christy will meet with officers of the reclamation service and Water Users association. taxpayers and others to talk over eliminating that section of the Salt River canal that runs through the main part of Phoe- nix north of Van Buren street.
 From the conflicting masses of data, it is learned that it will take approximately $S5, 900 in good Amer ican money to move the ditch or re- move it. From other sources it is gathered that there are eighteen street bridges within the city of Phoenix and crossing the Salt River canal These bridges cost the city in the neighborhood of $200 q year to maintain. II is not every bridge that needs repairing every year, but often d whole structure has to be put in new. Five per cent. of the amount expended in repairing bridges would pay interest on nearly enough to move the ditch.
 But this is the least of the consid- erations There are blocks and blocks of close-in property spoiled by the bisecting canal No substantial resi- dence or business house can be built over the canal The structures that span the ditch are all of d temporary character that add little 10 the value of the property and nothing to the beauty of the community. And mere ly not to add beauty takes it away.
 The obliteratiou Of the ditch would also help in straightening out the crooked streets. particularly Van Burcn. It would add to the health fulness of the strip along which 1t flows To the proposal 10 syphon the canal water under all the streets. as it is done under Central avenue reply is made that such d procedure would cut down the head of water and consequently be an engineering inpossibiity.
