MILLIONAIRE SHOP
is ALONE IN SOUTH

Five new families-thrifty. hard
working. orderly-have come to At
lanta since January l, through the
efforts of one factory.
The factory itself came here
through the efforts of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce.
1t is the only plant of its kind in
the South.
1t promises to grow to much great
er proportions, and if a tangle with
the United States immigration Blu
reau can be Strengthened out with
satisfaction to all concerned. the
most desirable class of workmen,
skilled in a trade, will be brought
to Atlanta from Europe.
This is taken as a concrete exam
pie Of the value of genuine promotion
work to a city.
The factory is the Bombayreed
Manufacturing and Importing Com
pany.
Founded in what the manager, Ed
win X, Moore, describes as a hole in
the wall" in Columbia, S. c.. II has
grown to an establishment requiring
at the present time $4,000 feet Of
floor space, at 56-5S Auburn Avenue
and S2-S4 Ivy Street.
How Factory Started.
The concern began by making Jar
dinieres of Bombay reed, which at
that time, six years ago, were some
thing of a novelty, though now almost
q staple.
Mr.. Moore was agent for an express
company. A friend who launched the
business interested him in it. Soon
he found 1t so engrossing and so
full of promise of future growth
that he cut loose from the express
company and devoted his entire time
to the manufacturing plant,
There came a time when a decision
was necessary Either the business
must be moved II IL was to grow, or
1T must stay in Columbia and not
grow. Mr. Moore's partner was wed
ded" to Columbia. Mr.. Moore there
fore bought him out. Then he wrote
to various cities-St. Louis, New Or
leans, Birmingham and Atlanta,
among others, stating his proposition,
and asking what inducements would
be made to him to move
Atlanta Uses Telegram.
others ignored his letter. or an
swered indiffeFently. But Atlanta
telegraphed. He came for a confer
ence. At a called meeting OF the
Chamber of Commerce, the situation
was gone over thoroughly, and in
one morning, most of the stock was
subscribed by Atlanta's leading men.
A small factory in EdgewOod Az
enue grew out of this. four years ago.
The company quickly outgrew jardi-
nieres and baskets, and now these are
but side lines, while the manufacture
of willow furniture is the most i'm
portant line of industry
Basket making is trade which
Americans will not or cannot learn
Ii requires patience and skill. II Is a
well paid occupation, carried on with
clean materials and In clean sur
roundings. Wages run from 500 to
$40 per week. The occupation Is
healthful. Still. bitter and expensive
experience has taught Mr. Moore that
Americans cannot learn, or If they do
make some progress, they will not
remain In the trade.
The best basket makers come from

Atlanta has a new drink.

Atlanta has a new drink.
Although it originated in Detroit,
this now is its home. Within a short

tate owners. the bankers, and men in
all lines Of business.
He says:
THE Southern people. and especial
ly the Atlanta people, must be train
ed along the line of patronizing home
industries Our people do not seem
to realize the importance of Atlanta
as a manufacturing center. and our
600 factories, comparatively speaking.
show a very small business. Their
output must be increased. and thus
their pay rolls.
THE officers of the Chamber of
Commerce realizing that a serious
condition is confronting us, hit upon
the plan to start this permanent eX-
hibit of the Atlanta manufacturers,
believing that this exhibition would
open the eyes to Atlantas position
as a manufacturing center, far more
decidedly than did the Manufactur-
ers Exposition, which was held in
the Auditorium in August Of last
year. and which drew such a pheno-
menal and enthusiastic crowd.
People Do Not Realize Strength.
Of the people Of Atlanta could but
realize the quality of the furniture,
shoes. neckties. suspenders, under
wear, paints, and steel products, that
are being made In Atlanta. II would
only be a short time until the out
nut of our manufactures would be-
gin to increase, and thus increase
our pay rolls, and importance as
manufacturing center.
This exhibit, would not only at
tract and interest citizens Of Atlanta.
but il would attract and interest the
citizens OF the entire South.
IAN exhibition of this kind, placed
in one building, where a prospective
customer could see samples of every
thing he might want in half days
time, would bring hundreds OF buyers
10 Atlanta. who now never think of
coming.
Manufacturers samples are so
widely scattered, that too much time
would be consumed by calling at each
of the plants.

GROWTH
AIDS FORTUNES
Of BIC CONCERN
Rise in Value of Dougherty-Lit-
tIe-Redwine Building Makes
Great Improvements Possible.

Ten years old, and prospecting be-
yond the dreams Of the founders, the
Dougherty- Little Redwine Co. will
move from its present establishment,
1855 North Pryor. to It's own build
ing. 90-92 South Pryor. November /.
The history of the firm is inter-
esting as illustrating the growth OF
Atlanta, and especially its increas-
ing Importance as distributing
center.
JUST a decade ago, lacking a few
months, ]. r. Little, L. A. Redwine
and ]. S. Dougherty, trusted employ
ees of John Silvey & Co. withdrew
from that firm to set UP in business
for themselves. Everyone wished
them well. when they leased the build
ing they now occupy, though 1t was
rather an ambitious project for new
firm TO take a structure of six floors
and a basement, 57x150 in the front
and 115X150 in the rear. Within a
year, however, the firm bought the
building for $4,000.
Stock of the concern was fixed at
S300,0 Of which S150000 was COM
mon stock. and $4,000 was pre-
ferred, and secured by the building.
This spring, the building was sold
for $40, 900 profit. Meanwhile. the firm
had prospered so we'll that the pre-
ferred stock was retired the Dough-
erty interest bought out, and a sur
plus had been created large enough
to put up the new building. The
stock now is $500 900, fully paid.
Although Mr. Dougherty, former
president of the firm, withdraws to
devote his time to the wholesale hat
business. aiding in establishing the
Silvey q Dougherty Hat Co, the
style of the Dougherty- Little Redwine
Co. will remain the same. The bust

Ready tO-Wear Line
Popular in South

Introduced two years ago among
Atlanta jobbers, ready to-wear lines
are meeting with considerable favor
throughout Atlanta territory.
In ready -to-wear lines are included
ladies' and children's wraps and suits,
including rain coats; ladies' shirt
waists, muslin underwear, boys wash
suits, and ladies' and children's dres-
ses.
Il believe we were the first Atlanta

Atlanta Manufacturers to Banquet
June "a, When Permanent Ex-
hibit Project Will Be Launched.
Definite Building Plan in Hand.
Guarantee of 100 Participants and
100000 to $4,000 Feet of Floor
Space Regarded as Necessary
for Beginning Of Big Display.

Atlanta manufacturers are to
join in a great dinner on the
night of Tuesday, June "a.
The object of the dinner is to
formulate definite plans for the
contemplated permanent exhibit
of Atlanta-made goods.
At this banquet, Brooks Nor
gan will submit a definite pro-
posal, and manufacturers will be
asked to indicate what amount of
floor space they are willing to
take.
One hundred exhibitors and
10000 or $4,000 square feet of
floor space are necessary for a
proper beginning.
Tn Chamber of Commerce be-
lieves it will be a simple matter
to get a guarantee Of this extent
or more.
Mr.. Morgan and Wilmer L. Moore,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, with Walter G. Cooper, secre-
tary of the Chamber held a confer
ence at the Capital City Club Thurs
day, principally to hear Mr.. Morgan's
report of the result of his activity in
behalf of the exhibit plan and to Co
operate with him in any way he de-
sired.
He reported that he has several
propositions from owners Of build
ings: that these offers can not be
held open indefinitely, and that
prompt action is necessary. A meet
ing of manufacturers he declared, is
necessary, and a dinner was fixed
upon as the best method Of getting
them together and discussing the
plan.
The dinner idea was approved by
the finance committee, which is prac-
tically identical with the executive
committee, and next day was APP
proved by the board Of directors.
Il hope a decision is reached soon. ="
said one manufacturer during the
week. 7 am preparing TO make ex-
hibits Of my product in High Point,

that the permanent exhibit viii be

Brooks Morgan is anxious that the
idea be made clear to everyone tnat

should be interested, but the real es-

pal centers, The workmen are steady.

The only trouble is their scarcity.
could use three times as many men
now, if l could only get them. The
five new families, / hope, will at
tract others. Atlanta could wish for
no better class of immigrants.
Chance For Georgia Farmers.
American willow is absolutely the
best" says Mr.. Moore. But it can
not be had. except in very limited
quantities. 1t brings 81 cents a
pound now, and soon will bring ten
cents, I am afraid.
1T would be a valuable crop for
Georgia farmers. The stuff grows on
the worst land, where other crops
cannot be raised. Willow requires
no cultivation. The shoots spring up
from the roots, and when they are
high as a mans head, should be cut
They are soaked in a stream, then
steamed and peeled, tied in bundles
and sold. That is all there is Ia
marketing the crop. l only wish
Georgia farmers with waste lands
would take IL up. / can use all they
will supply me with, at market prices
which as | remarked. are advancing
There's money in it for some farmer
1t does not take much willow to make
a pound, you know"
The Bombayreed Manufacturing
Importing Company is the only one Of
its kind South of New York. Most
of the other factories making willow
furniture and kindred products are in
New York State They are so few,
and skilled labor is so scarce, that
II is found more profitable to import
certain brands of fancy baskets.

RAW SILKS GOING UP.

Refers of raw silk at Yokohama
have again advanced prices on tram
stock as a result of the heavy demand
from Europe. Canton cables that most
of the first crop is sold there and that
the reelers are holding prices very
high. Shanghai is firm because of the
rise in exchange. Prices at Milan
continue to mount, according to A.
p. Villa & Bros, grand extra Pied
mont bringing 40 to so lire, and extra
classical as to AZ lire. There is no
change in the situation here.

SAY WHEN!

In some sections of the West the rain
fall is mighty accommodating to the
farmers. For six months it will rain
nearly every day and then will come
another six months without a drop.
Only by means of costly irrigation can
they raise a crop.
Their soil is, in itself, above the aver
age in fertility. The total rainfall dur
ing year is ample, but the trouble is
they DON'T GET IT WHEN THEY
NEED 1T.
Now some merchants have that same
trouble in regard to their stock Of shoes.
They put lot of money into shoes
every year. They may get good shoes
too, but they don't make as much money
as they ought.
Why?
They don't have the RIGHT STYLES
in the selling sizes at the RIGHT TIME.
The Red Seal Shoe Factory right here
in Georgia has solved this problem for
thousands of the South's best merchants.
A half-million-dollar stock of the very
newest styles is at your service. Why not
use it?
1t will mean for you Quick Shipments
Low Freights- bigger shoe business
on a smaller stock, better kept.
Red Seal Shoes are the best known and
best spoken of line in the South to-day.
Postal brings catalog or salesman with
out obligation on your part.
