80 far as we are able to Judge
from the business done by our clients,
automobile sales in Atlanta have been
exceptionally good for the period
which began January l." says Joseph
N. Moody, of the Auto Credit Sales
Company.
The automobile firms whom we
represent as a credit clearing house
report an increase over last season.
Sales probably would be larger
yet If we did not check them. Anus
ing as the idea may seem, we are in
a sense philanthropists. for we are
saving the people from themselves, in
this way: Suppose a man with mod
crate income tries TO buy an auto
on time. We investigate carefully.
If he has a family of girls, let us
say, all living at home, and no in
come but his salary, we turn him
down. If he had a family of boys,

chase car all well and good

Things in Prospect for the
Coming Autumn.

Dealers in lumber, brick, cement,
plaster and building supplies report
that Atlanta is going straight ahead
In its expansion.
Unanimously they report good
trade. one particularly encouraging
feature, according to their express
sions, is the steady increase in the
number OF small residences. homes
costing between $4,000 and $4,000

Furthermore, building supplies
dealers are unanimous in saying that
there are great plans in store for
fall. II all rumors are to be believed,
property owners are contemplating
improvements at almost a boom"
rate as soon as summer is past.
Paint dealers also are cheerful.
They report contractors figuring on
work far ahead, and also general ac-
tiyity in refurnishing buildings which
are not new, but which are being re-
modelled to meet the city's growing
needs.
Expressions from dealers in these
lines follow:
V. II. Kriegshaber: Our observa-
ton is that there is a good deal Of
building contemplated-in the wind,
so to speak. When conditions settle
down this fail, We look for an excel
lent trade in building supplies
Randall Bros: Our business is
better than 1t ever has been in ldm-
Der and building material. The in
crease has come from the increase
in medium priced houses, residences
to cost between $1,000 and $4,000.
1t is hard to tell about the fall,
but we look for a good trade. Prices
are a little lower This always is
the case in June and July. There
will be a reaction in August and Sep
tember and quotations will be
stronger. This is the history Of ev-
cry year"
Willingham- Tiff Lumber Co: BUS
mess has been quite brisk up to the
present time. with particular activity
in the erection Of small houses. This
looks to us like the right time to
build, for prices in our opinion, are
at the bottom"
Sciple Sons business is fairly
good at the present time, and It is
picking up rapidly We look for a
very good trade for the rest OF the
year. The market is steady, still
prices are reasonable and ii Is a good
time 10 build. We notice a revival
particularly in the erection of small
houses"
Dozier & Gay: From the number
Of contractors who are figuring on
painting TO be done between now and
fall, we look for a big business.
Every indication is that a large
number Of new homes are TO be built
and there are rumOrs Of several large
buildings for wholesale houses and

Trained Men Great Need

Germany and other European
countries are far ahead OF the United
States in the matter Of commercial
education. This point was brought
out in a speech before the annual
convention of the National Associa-
ton of Credit Men at Cincinnati.
The annual losses by reason of
failures IN the United States amount

Gaehr, "or over 50 per capita. To

Professor Munsterberg Of Harvard
University observes that a great diff
ficulty OF our educational system has
been that It does not teach a man
to find himself. and when he learns
his strong and his weak points, his
real inclinations toward and qualifi-
cations for a pursuit in life, it is
usually too late.

ers mortgage their land they must
pay back the entire principal in lump
sum in a few years else pay a costly
commission for renewal So long as
this is true naturally the farmers
won't mortgage their land until ac-
tually pressed to the wall
In contrast TO this European farm

installments So long as they meet
their interest payments they can new
ar be sold out. Their entire payments

Cash Basis Possible.
II Southern farmers can get a de-
vice to act as their agent in borrow
ing and can capitalize their land
holdings on terms that will permit
them 10 repay little by liktle. we can
pat the cotton growing industry Of
the South on cash basis. This would
enable our farmers to buy on a cash
basis and secure financial independ-
ence. II would break the power Of
the supply merchants. 1t would be
the surest way to a New South. A
New South would mean prosperity to
the nation.
There is no theory in this PROPOSE
ton. I have studied these mortgage
systems here. They are straight

cans can adOr' pcrhaue improve

agreed not to solicit business for the

that the jobbers are on their annual

their absence, fifty or more jobbers
