When you Duy piece OF furniture you
are justified IN asking yourself. Will it be in
style five or ten years from now? Or will it,
like the old horsehair sofa, be put away, out
Of sight somewhere &
You need not be troubled by such ques-
tons When you buy Berkey & Gay furniture.
It will always be in style. 1t is made in styles
that have become permanently established.
Sheraton and Chippendale were to furniture
what Gainsborough and Landseer were to
painting, in England. Their work is classic.
Other fashions in furniture may come and go,
but the patterns that were evolved by Sheraton
and Chippendale will always be accepted as
representing faultless style and taste.
Berkey & Gay make Sheraton and Chip
pendale furniture that has all the elegance,
durability, beauty and class Of the original
pieces produced by those masters Of their art.
Late Louis XVI, Flemish Renaissance and
Colonial are other styles that Berkey & GAY
have adopted in furniture making. The en-.
during quality Of these styles has been thor
oughly established Hence you have the
assurance when you buy Berkey & Gay piece
that you will never have to put it aside as a

/. P. BottenfeId Writes interest
ing Story Concerning Growth
and Progress,

On the marvellous growth and pros
perity of Atlanta, L. r. Bottenheld,
the sub division specialist. writes in
a graphic manner and makes sug-
gestions that are along the line OK
progress. He says:
1.-THE great growth 81 Atlanta,
which has been rapid and constant
since the Civil War. might be liken-
ed to the great tidal wave that pick
ed up business blocks along Calves
tons waterfront, as II came in, car
ryi7g them far ashore, and as II went
out. bringing back the homes from
the suburbs.
but the strong tide Of our in
oreasing population and prosperity is
not one Of destruction, but one Of
development that is carrying our
present business and residence sec
tions farther out ana bringing our
farms nearer in.
This tidal wave of progress is so
strong and rapid that the near-in
mansions Of yesterday are our bust
ness blocks to-day: acreage within
the three-mile circle in as many
years back is now crowded with
beautiful homes; and the farms ly-
ing beyond the siX-mile circle, which
five years ago We're three TO four
miles beyond the very outskirts Of
Atlanta's residence section, are now
being sub divided and developed for
homes.
Seven wears ago the farmers Just
beyond Decatur had to market their
produce within hailing distance of
the Georgian Terrace; now they find
q greater market for q greater yield
four miles nearer home. and the
same - true of other sections in all
directions around Atlanta.
Rapid Growth.
There are "a large number of our
old and new citizens. as well as stran-
gers. who have no conception Of our
rapid and far-reaching growth. and
for their enlightenment l wish that
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany would build an observation
sight seeing street car, and route Il
over the various lines once daily,
with a fare for the continuous trip.
In addition to the regular crew there
should be a lecturer 10 fully inform
the passengers In regard 10 all things
of interest along and near the right
Of way.
1t is true. our phenomenal prog
ress is heralded every day by tho
