No one behind the permanent ex-

The movement in favor of a per-

to a question of expense, it seems.
Twenty three Of the manufacturers
publicly announced their intention Of
taking space in the exhibit hall. with

ton as to details. Others privately
assured the committee of their CO
operation.
But the majority Of the manufac-

pared almost another fourth These
two items, nearly evenly divided, fur
nished 4S75 per cent of our total eX-
ports Of that year.
Ten years later, in 1908. when the
total exports had grown within sight
Of the two billion maTk-the figures
being 81 ,S3i, 786,357-Crude foodstuns
and food animals furnished only 1890
per cent OF them, and foodstuffs
wholly or partly prepared only 1910
per cent. And i'm 1912 there had been
a further decrease. bringing the total
percentage of the two classes of food
stuff exports down to less than 20 per
cent OF total exports
In fifteen years therefore, food
atuffs have dropped from almost half
OF our total exports to less than
one-nfth.
Two entirely natural causes have
operated to bring about this great
change In the character of the Amer
lean export business and its phenom-
email growth The first was the prac-
teal exhaustion Of the easily tillable
farming land OF the country. The
second was the formation OF indus
trial and manufacturing companies in
the United States with capital sufli-
cient to enable them to enter the for
eign field with reasonable prospects
Of the success they have won.

Snappy Talks on Pertinent Topics
Observation-Disclosures 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.

for the success Of the convention. 81

Arrangements were made with the
Forsyth Theater last week whereby
the whole house is reserved for the
delegates to the convention on the
nights of August and August IL.
Arrangements have been made for a
reception at the Piedmont Driving

w. H. White, of the White Provi-
sion Company, will speak to the con-
vention on the opportunity offered
Georgia farmers in stock growing.
This promises to be one of the best
addresses of the convention.
1T will be a real convention" says
H. T., Moore, secretary. For in
stance, we are told that merchants
in the smaller towns have been among
the defenders of the one-crop system.
When crop diversifcation 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
want debates-informal talks of five
minute length-short speeches with a
punch in them. 1t looks as If we
will get them"

RETAILERS ASK
FOR IMPORTANT
LEGAL CHANGES
Want Garnishment Law Broad
ened and Also Seek Fraudulent
Check Bill at This Session.

Two thousand retailers from all
parts Of the. State are expected to
assemble in Atlanta July p, %, %,
in the annual convention of the Re
tail Merchants Association of Geor-
gia.
Headquarters will be the Ansley
Hotel, and the business sessions
probably will be held in the assembly
room there.
There are two bills now before the
Georgia Legislature which the retail
ers are deeply interested in further
ing. They are bills amending the gar
nishment law, making il broader of
application, and a bill making it a
misdemeanor to draw a fraudulent
check, unless, within thirty days, the
check is met.
This will be the principal matter
before the convention, but there also
viii be discussions of topics Of timely
interest, and the annual election of
officers. Present officers are J. w. S.
Hardy Of Waycross, Ga, president;
ID. Il. Hogsed, Toccoa, vice president;
John Bratton, Atlanta, secretary
treasurer; Louis w Roberts, At
ldllAtAt Hptfldl representative.
Years Campaign Waeed.
Mr.. Roberts, eX-president of the
association, has spent the past year
going from town to town in Georgia
enlisting the interest Of the mer-
chants in the two bills which have
been introduced before the Legisla-
turc.
The punishment bill proposes to
make all wages subject to garnish-
ment. AS the law now stands, men
who do work which is entirely or in
part manual can not be garnished.
Thus the engineer on a locomotive
can not be garnished, while the con-
duCtor can be. The new bill makes
laborers' exemption 81 per day, and
80 per cent Of the amount above that
figure, In other words, a laborer
making SO per day would have 81
subject to garnishment-50 per cent
of the amount above 81.
In the call for the convention,
President Hardy says:
Solid Carloads Coming.
You have every reason to feel
proud of your assoCiation-it is COM
posed Of the leading progressive and
aggressive merchants of the State
Several OF the larger and few of
the smaller towns have already
pledged themselves to send a solid
| carload of delegates If all of the
| towns send even a fair per cent OF
| the numbers they have designated
we will have the largest convention
ever held by this organization. There
is every reason to believe that our
expectations will be surpassed.
Atlanta is known far and wide for
her hospitality, and while our con-
ventions are business meetings, for
busy men, no doubt you will be ac-
corded such entertainment as is ap-
propriate"
The meeting was held last year in
| Warm Springs, with an attendance OF
something over 1000 members.

BOND statesmen
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 a 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 1t means 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 a 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-
gelOpe bearing the postmark OF
New England town. The writer was
one of those who attended the straw
berry festivals in the little white
church.

years. and the habit has now become

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
ufacJure becomes known favOrably in
Europe, without the slightest effort on
the manufacturers part, and unsolic-
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 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
know" says Mr.. Hill. "Of course,
knew in a general way that the safety
razor was catching on in Europe; it 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 a 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
put in place.

ness has grown steadily, and now
the trade mark has wide fame par
ticularly In the Southern States.
The uninitiated never can realize
how many different kinds Of things a
man can choose to wear beneath his
outer clothing until a visit is paid
10 the Peter Hill factory. Blue, green,
lavender. pink and tan and just plain
white are among the colors; checks
and stripes the patterns; silk cotton
and flannel the materials.
Winter Athletic Underwear.
The newest wrinkle is a line OF very
light flannel underwear Of athletic
cut, designed for the chap who wants
loose-fitting short sleeve and short
leg underwear in the winter as well
as in summer. but who hesitates to
go through December with the filmy
garments Of June.
No other factory has adopted this
idea, but the success Of fall sales al
ready made by the Atlanta concern
indicate that competitors soon will
fall in line
Making underwear is just plain
sewing, and no more interesting than
any operation with the familiar high
speed, electrically driven sewing ma
chimes. which seem the limit of me-
chaniCal ingenuity.
The trick is all in the Designing
how to give comfort and fit plus
style.
Always New Ideas.
There's always something new, as,
for instance, a Peter Hill idea Of
sizing union suits according to the
length OF mans body. as well as
according to its circumference.
Neckwear demands more hand
work. First. the silks have to be cut
by hand with sharp knives instead Of
with machines. The sewing is done
by machine. but the neckties have to
be turned right side out, lined, press
ed. and boxed by hand. This Is what
costs in a necktie, for although silk Is
expensive enough 1t does not take any
great quantity to make an ordinary
bow or four-i hand tie
