son for Atlanta's rise In Importance
as a distributing center. Years OF
attentive study of the trades needs
has taught the Atlanta jobber just
what the Southern merchant wants
The Albanian knows his people SC
thoroughly that he has become Sc
cure from competition.
Not only have invaders failed in
their attempts to cross Atlanta's
trade frontier, but more, Atlanta has
pushed its boundaries of commerce
farther and farther away each year
gradually Selling prosperous towns
thought their own forever.
These truths need to be impressed
and the reasons for buying in At.
lanta exploited that the territory
which is Atlanta's may be widened
and widened to the utmost limits.
This win be the mission of the
business and trade section of The
American.
This is the service 1t will perform
for the jobber and the manufactures
in bringing him new trade and for
the retailer in teaching him where
to eXpend his resources to the best
advantage.

proposes to perform a further serv.

and stations.

ing-keep him thoroughly informed
Of general conditions in his particu-
lar line of commerce.
In commerce so wonderfully
complex as Atlanta's and that of the
Southeast, the failure of the monsoon
in India, a strike in Paterson, n. J.,
a revolution in China, may have i'm
portant consequences. The merchant
would feel these consequences with
out, perhaps, knowing the cause.
AS a matter of fact, the three ex-
amples given are not exaggerated.
Serious damage to India's jute crop
would mean more costly cotton bag
ging and burlaps; the Paterson strike
cost milliners and all dealers in rib
bons considerable money and incon-
venience. China's revolution has cur
tailed the consumption of cotton.
The American feels that 1t will be
doing a service Of interest and value
to thoughtful business men of At
lanta and its surrounding territory
by supplying the news of the COM
mercial world, news perhaps too
technical for the general columns,
but of Importance nevertheless.
Something of the mission Of the
trade journal will be performed, but
better because The American enjoys
resources which a trade journal can
not command; because its news will
not be confined to any one line of
commerce and manufacture, but will
be of interest to all, and because its
news will be fresher.
In a word, the Merchants and
Manufacturers Bulletin hopes to
t'boost" Atlanta in the way which
will bring greatest results, and to be,
at the same time, section of inter
est to the business man in particular
and every class of reader in general.

AT the same time, every effort will
be made to set forth to the jobber

which are his If he will patronize

ways, the Southern buyer can effect

more considerable saving in time

Frequently the saving in actual first

RUBBER OUTPUT
DUE To BE CUT
BY NEW SCHEME
London Plans Central Selling Of
fee to Maintain Prices-Some
Opposition Is Developing.

LONDON, Oct. 11.-An important
agitation is being conducted in PLAN
tation rubber circles here with the
object of forming a central selling
agency for the purpose of upholdinS
prices. Part of the scheme includes
the standardization OF plantation rub
Der, and IT is also suggested that the
output should be restricted. The cause
of the agitation Is the heavy fall in
the price Of plantation rubber aad
the disparity between the quotation
OF plantation grades and fine hard
Para rubber.
AS a result OF the agitation, the
directors of one of the biggest plantd-
ton rubber producers-the Malaccl
Company--have announced their will i.
ingness to sell their entire output for
the next five years through a central
sales agency provided that the agan-
cy controls at least 10000 tons o;
next years crop. They stipulate, how
ever, that the services of the rubber
produce brokers should be retaine 1.
This company's output last year eX-
ceeded 100000 pounds, and the IS
timated production this year'is 5000
900 pounds.
Other groups are also supporting
the scheme. but there is at the same
time a good deal Of opposition to i;
on the part of those who do not be-
lieve in artificial methods of uphold
ing prices, especially by restriction ~
output. Many expert observers are
doubtful whether the scheme will be
carried out, but all are agreed that
something must be done In the in =
terests of shareholders to help the IN
duStry.
At the commencement of the pres
ent year the price of standard pla n
tation rubber stood about As Sd per

SO per cent. This fall has had a very

An attempt will be made to pre-

Apples, pears and peaches all do

growers in this section generally set
out their orchards according to the
following plan: Apple trees are plant
ed 36 feet apart, peaches between or
IL feet from each apple tree except at
the diagonals, where a pear tree Is set.
The short lived peach trees bear
their five or six crops and are removed
when the pear trees begin to-prOduce
fruit. When the apple trees arrive at
maturity, the pear trees have about
outlived their usefulness
Some good farmers still further
economic space by planting rows Of

that he utilizes all the space at his
