HIT AILANTA MANUFACTURERS AND )OBBERS ARE DOING
Silk Dyers Strike;
Feathers Face Bar;
Flowers in Favor
MillIners Think That for Once They
Can Predict Styles for Fall
Well IN Advance.

Flowers will be popular on wom-
ems hats for fall and winter wear.
In July this Is a dangerous predic-
ton. Circumstances, however, make
1t fairly safe prophecy. in the opin-
ion Of C. B. Palmer, Of NJ. Kutz Co,
wholesale milIiners.
Dame Fashion might take a notion
to dictate ribbons. But the silk DIV
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
TENDER l. and even if the mills re-
open. they are likely to be over
whelmed with the orders which have
been accommodating
Feathers, again, might have been
Fashions favorttes. 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 rllle-that is, small
er than those which have been worn
for the past few seasons. Crowns will
be round, with turned-up brims, &C
cording to Mr.. Palmer. What viii be
the favorite colors, besides the sta
pie blues, browns and black, no one
will know until September /.
The Kutz Co. statesmen started out
last Monday to cover the Southern
States for fall business.

A E Cowper. one Of the important
men In the organization of Selfridge
& 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 ne departed for England freed
himself of some criticism.
"One thing which struck me was
the time II takes to complete a 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
purchase and the goods are shipped
by carrier OF messenger to a distant
cash-and bundle desk, every second
she has to wait is magnifled to q
minute, whereas II the goods are
wrapped by the clerk, the customer
is getting the full attention Of that
salesperson. and II 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 magnif1es 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 ii is much better to
free the salespeople from the duty
Of wrapping packages.

Thousand Lined Up

Furniture House DeVIses Attractive
Scheme to Induce Public to

Even in busy Atlanta. It is seldom
enough that a thousand people are lined

the record established by Sterchi Bros.

The attraction was an unusual sale Of

MORE BUYERS THAN PEACHES.

NEW YORK, July 5-Buyers re-
turning here from Georgia say that il
is generally estimated the peach crop

According TO the railroad men, they
do not expect to move over IS cars a

buyers at Fort Valley Fully 80 per

any visitor matched his tag with any
tag in the store, he was privileged to
claim the article. without being obli-

low prices, and resulted in good sales.

though four thousand federal troops
at Ojiniga are said to be preparing
for an advance, Villa declared that
he believed they could not do more
than destroy the railroad. Chihua-

stores almost empty and streets lit

haste could not carry off. Cathedral

able that another United States judge
will be sent to the Southern District

is that Judge Call is slightly i'm
proving, but that his physicians have
told him to forget all about courts for
the next two months at least and de-
vote himself to getting entirely we'll.

situation is not yet known, though
any district judge from any part of
the United States is available under

Sheppard of the Northern District of
Florida is busy holding court in his
district. Judge Mccormick of Texas
