United States more insight into the
business of illegal trusts than any
other information ever published.
Mr.. Untermeyer wass practically the
only attorney the trust officers feared.
They knew they could not deceive
him and the evidence published un-
der his direction has never been
questioned. 1t was an amazing
revelation. Mr.. Untermeyer's pro-
gram for the restoration of business
can be summed up in the following
few paragraphs:

REIMBURSEMENT OF BUSINESS.

In spite of bank deposits breaking
all records and in spite of very fair
prices for all agricultural products,
business has been perceptibly slowing
down for the past two months, and
this in spite of the fact that the holi
days are approaching when business
should be at it's best.
The bank clearings of practically
all the large cities Of the Union are
showing decrease from last years
business week by week. This is less
true, however, of the Pacific North
west banks than those of any other
part of the country. Business men
are anxiously inqu1ring as to the
cause and wondering how long this is
to last. Each man has a more or less
different version of the cause, but
all are agreed as to the effects.
Probably the new tariff law which is
now being tried out is somewhat re-
sponsible, though not in a great
measure. The law is apparently as
fair as could be drawn and retain any
protective features. There is no
doubt among many business men
that the currency measure now be-
fore Congress is also the cause OF
some uneasiness. There is no cues
ton that Wall Street interests are OPP
posing this measure. One of the feat
ures OF the new law proposed by
President Wilson is that it will make
several money centers and thus re-
duce greatly the power of Wall Street
interests. We believe the law in time
will work for the best interests Of the
country but at the present time it
is responsible somewhat for this
slowing downof business.
Though the banks are filled with
money there is practically no trade
on Wall Street and the best issues of
railroads and other big corporation
stocks are begging. The railroads
cannot finance themselves successful
ly.
Another striking feature is the
weakness of the bond markets
Where two years ago any issue of long
time bonds was eagerly sought for
and usually premium offered, today
the most gilt-edge bonds put on the
market can scarcely find a buyer

county with nearly S270, 600, 900 assets

lines we have recently seen was an

these they are strong in every
fraternal order but one. Would
it be asking too much to ask the
ladies of the Aid and Altar So
cieties, of the various lodges and
of the card clubs to get together
in a town improvement club?
Such an organization need not
be formal; it might as well make
use of existing organizations.
They are all founded on the base
of making life more livable in
some way, and there is no change
of policy involved in making each
part of an improvement club.
The first thing any such body
always does, if it is not to prove a
failure, is to begin with the beauti-
hcation of the homes of Its men,
bers. That alone would make a
vast difference in the appearance
of the town and would encourage
the village council in enforcing a
vigorous cleanup" policy.
1t would be ridiulous to expect
the village to set out trees or
shrubbery. 1t could only do that
at considerable expense while the
home-makers need only spend a
very few dollars and little spars
time. The village, what with
sewers, sidewalks, streets and fire
protection, will have all it can
handle for a long time.
Still the village can, and if the
ladies request it, doubtless will
help by furnishing trespassers and
those who permit domestic ami
mails to run at large.
Boomers Ferry looks with conf
dence to the ladies to take the lead
as they always do, in improving
its appearance by concerted action

European Business
Comes to Atlanta
Firm Unsolicited
Orders From Berlin and Paris Ar
rive Without Explanation OF
How Fame Crossed Ocean.


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 unsollc-
tied orders follow.
AS for instance
In Marietta Street is a concern but
two years old, the A. E. 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 a 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, l
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. II 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 better arrangement of
the circular hone which supplements
the work of the ingenious strOps
which literally put a hair splitting"
edge on safety razor blades. The ma
chimes are automatic, requiring al
most no attention after the blades are
mt in Mace

JUST NOW BUSY
PUSHING WARES
Business of Selling Securities at
Retail Has Much Of Human
Interest in 1t.

This is the most interesting period
Of the year in the bond market. Al
most every train leaving New York,
Chicago and Boston has carried rep
resentatives Of the principal bond
houses into the country districts,
where buyers of one, two or three
bonds, in receipt Of their semi-an-
nual dividends, have been in position
to reinvest portion Of their savings.
Whether the statesmen can induce
them to exchange their savings bank
balances for $500 or $1,000 bonds re-
mains to be seen. Every kind of per-
suasive argument will be used, for
with many bond men IT means a life
and death struggle to secure enough
orders in July to make up for the
lean business OF the last six months.
The art of selling bonds at retail
has been reduced to a science. 1t is
full of human interest. The most
successful house in the business years
ago hit upon the plan Of sending
young men on long visits to New
England towns to get acquainted with
the people. One salesman who gained
his experience in this way is now the
head of great bond house.
He long ago gave up selling bonds
on the road, but almost every week
the mail brings him a letter. with the
address written in a cramped, old
fashioned little hand, upon an en-
velope bearing the postmark of q
New England town. The writer was
one Of those who attended the straw
berry festivals in the little white
church.
She has bought bonds of him for
years. and the habit has now become
so well fixed that the trust companies
and banks which send their men to
her with attractive investment propo-
sitions do not get a hearing. That
banker has made small fortune in
commissions on sales Of bonds to peo-
pie in those little towns.
Thrifty, well-tO-do, and with good
connections, those people turn over to
him each year a volume of orders
which would make even the 10000
900 banks sit up and take notice. 1t
is investment business Of the best
sort, most of the bonds taken are
seldom resold, being held till maturi-
ty, unless death occurs to force a dis
'ribution of the owners estate

HIT ATLANTA MANUFACTURERS AND JOBBERS ARE DOING
Clearer Skies
Before Autumn
By SPENCER TRASH & CO.

We believe that by autumn a
number Of the problems now vex-
ing our financial and business men
will have been settled; the revised
tariff bill should have been passed
by September or October. BY then
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion may have allowed the 5 per
cent increase in freight rates de-
manded by the Eastern railroads,
and there is also the possibility of
some bill having been passed
amending our wretched currency
laws.
By then, too, the investing pub
lie viii have the chance to get its
proper bearings.
In short, by the fall we should
know much better what our true
economic situation promises to be
for the next few years
