Pick Subcommittee
To Get Exhibit Site
Manufacturers Who Demand Exact
Details Before Lining Up Are
To Be Satisfied.

No one behind the permanent ex-
hibit project is sleeping. There was
meeting of the full committee Of
the Chamber OF Commerce Wednes-
day noon in the Empire Building.
At It's close a sub committee, com
posed of Brooks Morgan. j. X. Orr,
Boiling II. Jones and V. II. Krieg

owners of available buildings, and

The movement in favor OF a per-

Twenty three Of the manufacturers
publicly announced their intention OF
taking space in the exhibit hall, with
out demanding any further explana-
tion as to details. Others privately
assured the committee Of their CO.

But the majority OF the manufac-
tuners want to know just how much
rentals win be. where tho building
is TO stand-in fact, all about II.
Realizing that the only way to get
these people in line is to answer
their questions. the committee ap-
pointed Wednesday viii go as far as

INVITATIONS To
BIC CONVENTION
Snappy Talks on Pertinent Topics
Expected Attendance May
Go Above 1000 Mark.

Invitations are being sent out as
rapidly as possible to almost every
merchant in six States who does a
business Of any consequence-thou-
sands in all-summoning the dealers
to the Southern Merchants Conven-
ton to be held in Atlanta during the
first two weeks of August.
Letters to various Atlanta firms
which are taking an interest in the
forthcoming event demonstrate the
enthusiasm which is being aroused.
Il have received letters from deal
ers scattered all the way from Vir-
ginia to Texas" says Boiling H.
Jones' one OF the most active workers
for the success of the convention. Il
feel sure the attendance this year will
go far above the 1000 mark set last
season"
Indications are that the first days

Arrangements were made with the

the defenders of the one-crop system
When crop diversification comes UP
for discussion they are likely to air
their views in no uncertain language
They are close to the farmer, and
what they have to say carries weight
THE Idea is to avoid loading the
program with heavy addresses. We

European Business
Comes to Atlanta
Firm Unsolicited
Orders From Berlin and Paris Ar
rive Without Explanation of
How Fame Crossed Ocean.
Fame is a peculiar affair.

There have been firms which have
striven hard and long for recognition
abroad. and with Indifferent success.
Again. some article of American man
ufacture becomes known favorably In
Europe, without the slightest effort on
the manufacturers part, and unsoIic-
tied orders follow.
As for instance
In Marietta Street is a concern but
two years old, the A. f. Hill Manu-
featuring Company. The Hill COM
pany makes a machine which sharp
ems safety razor blades for all makes
of safety razors. The other day Mr..
Hill was surprised by>a cabled order
for a large shipment of his devices,
to be consigned to a firm in Berlin.
And this week he is packing ship
ment for the Societe Generate de
Couterllerie & Orfevrerie, 81 Rue Pas
tourelle, Paris.
All this without any advertising
abroad, or any effort to interest for
eign buyers.
How they came to learn of my
device in Europe is more than l
know" says Mr.. Hill. "Of course,
knew in a general way that the safety
razor was catching on in Europe; 1t is
the kind Of thing which would take
well there. But who first heard Of my
sharpening machine in Germany or
France is more than l can say. Need
less to remark, though, all orders are
thankfully received. The French or
der is a trial. Already l have had a
repeat order from Berlin, which shows
the device is giving satisfaction
there"
The Hill machine is manufactured
in Atlanta. 1t was invented four
years ago, and has been on the mar
ket for two years. A new model was
put out during the past week, the only
change being a better arrangement of
the circular hone which supplements
the work of the ingenious strops
which literally put a hair splitting
