An official of the concern asserted that
the improved condition of the farmer
was due to the fact that he was learn
ing to raise more products for himself,
rather than buying for others, and that
the prosperity OF the farmer was handed

Merchants and Manufacturers Bulletin
To Be LfUe Feature of Sunday American

THIS tells Of some plans for
l the Merchants and Manu-.
lacturers' Bulletin of the Sunday
American, and formally intro
duces a feature that should prove
attractive to a large class of
readers.
Candor compels the admission
that the idea is not new-not the
fundamental idea. But The
American has many new ideas
for the development of the de-
partment, and its policy will diff
fer in many essentials from any
thing Of the kind ever attempted
in Atlanta.
The aim of the business and
trade section will be to proclaim
throughout the South Atlanta s
advantages as a manufacturing
and wholesale center.
An attempt will be made to pre-
sent to the readers who make up its
vast circulation some idea of the di-
versity of Atlanta's factories. At
lanta makes nearly everything
broad statement, but true. Few
residents of the city itself have any
idea of the multitudinous variety of
the articles made within the limits
Of Fulton County. To residents of
other sections of the South, Atlanta
stands for insurance, for commerce,
as the great distributing center of
the South, but seldom for the name
of city which converts raw ma
terialS into the thousand and one

sIDELIeHTs ON SELLING.

A colIarette of plated white cot
ton tulle with a lace jabot is now
worn extensively. Those shown have
folds of rose satin placed in the CEN
ter of the tulle ruche. They are
said to be very dainty in effect.
A black velvet hat with black pat
ent leather piping around the brim
and band is a late model in Paris.
The hats are trimmed with blue, tan
and green patent leather flowers.
Models of fall gowns will call for all
kinds of band trimmings, tassels de-
veloped in rich colors, cabochons.
MOTHS and garnitures. Bead effects
will be in especially high favor.

ing-keep him thoroughly informed
of general conditions in his particu-
lar line of commerce.
In a commerce so wonderfully
complex as Atlanta's and that of the
in India, 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 mifliners 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 it 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 toe
technical for the general columns
bul VI iAupOi iu1NC hCNCA lhCAtoS.
Something of the mission of the
trade journal will be performed, but
better because The American enjoys
resources which a trade journal car
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 word, the Merchants an6
Manufacturers Bulletin hopes tC
boost" Atlanta In the way which
will bring greatest results, and to be
at the same time, a section Of inter
est to the business man in particular
and every class of reader in general

things demanded by a complex civil
lization.
Atlanta-Factory City.
Nothing but good can result from
letting the country know what can
be bought here from the makers
hands.
At the same time, every effort will
be made to set forth to the jobber
the very solid and real advantages
which are his if he will patronize
the Atlanta factories. Almost al
ways, the Southern buyer can effect
a considerable saving in freight and
a more considerable saving in time
elapsed between order and delivery.
Frequently the saving in actual first
cost will be worthy of attention.
And when all these things are equal,
there is the economic advantage of
encouraging home industries-a thing
too lightly looked upon.
So much for manufactures.
Next, the jObbers-perhaps they
should be considered first, for At
lanta is pre-eminent in its position as
the distributing center of the South.
Every great Eastern concern is
represented by a branch Office in At
lanta. This shows that the keenest
intellects in the business world to-
day, the heads of national corpora
tions, recognize Atlanta's strategic
location as unequaled.
Atlantans Made Atlanta.
These NOrtherners and Fasteners
were not the first to realize Atlanta's
potentialities. The people right at
home were the leaders. Atlantans
made Atlanta. 1t was Atlantans who
built up great wholesale and jobbine
houses whose fame has spread all
over the South. Ever since Atlanta
became anything of railroad cen.

ter they have been winning the
friendship of the Southern trade by
fair dealing. equitable credits, re
liable goods, low prices, and service.
Service, prompt, accurate and cour-
teous, has been the underlying rea-
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 so
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 seiZing prosperous towns
and even States that rivals had
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 will be the mission of the
business and trade section of The
American.
This is the service it will perform
for the jobber and the manufacturer
in bringing him new trade and for
the retailer in teaching him where
to eXpend his resources to the best
advantage.
News CT Commerce.
But the business and trade section
proposes to perform a further serv-
ice for business men of all degrees
and stations.

expressions Of opinion.
Many OF the League members are In
favor Of four battleships a year. in ac-
cordance with the recommendation OF
the general board, of which Admiral
ing the two-or one-plan. Still others
contend that no-ship policy is better
than a one-ship policy on the ground
