Competing successfully with the
great plants in cities generally re-
puted to be greater manufacturing
centers than Atlanta, the Atlanta
Stove Works is proof that there are
few lines of industry which can not
be acquired on to advantage in the
great distributing center of the
Southeast.
From the pig iron, that most I'M
lovely looking stuff, to the shining
nickel trimmings, everything which
goes to make a stove is manufac-
tured in Atlanta. The factory fur
nishes employment to several hun
dreds of men. support to as many
prospecting families.
Iron and coke by the carload come
in at one end of the plant; shining
cook stoves, ranges and heaters issue
from the other. Throughout, the pro-
cess is interesting.
The pig iron, two kinds to make a
proper blend, the coke, and a small
amount of pine firewood are piled
in layers in blast furnace early in
the morning. All day long the fire
shoulders while the mouiders are
busy preparing for the melt.
At little before o'clock each
afternoon, the blast is turned on. and
in a very few minutes the furnace
is foil Of a mass almost as fluid as
water, or at the very least, hot mo-

Meanwhile. the moulders, with a
skill born of a long apprenticeship
and longer practice, have made their

When all is ready, the molten iron
is drawn off, the mOulders catching
it in clay ladies as it pours from the
bottom Of the furnace. Hurrying to

men to Come to Atlanta
The logical point"

The logical point"
This is the terse explanation ad-
vanced by the National Lead Com
pany, which will begin work within
ten days erecting a 100000 plant in
the outskirts of ATLANTA.
From this plant. the whole South
will be supplied.
Sheet lead, lead pipe, lead work
used by plumbers, window weights,
in fact every product of pig lead, is
to be produced in Atlanta by the
Georgia Lead Works, which will be
the name of the Atlanta factory ope-
rated by the National.
The building which the factory will
occupy is to cost approximately S25,-
600 Equipped, it will cost 100000.
How many workmen it viii bring
to Atlanta is not stated, but all will
be skilled
The factory is to be finished and
ready for operation by January I.
1914. The Southern Railway already
is building a siding at the site. H. J.
Carr. contractor, Is to begin his work
as soon as this siding is completed.
The freight rate on pig lead is less
than one third the rate on finished
products. Therefore it becomes ex-
pediant to ship pig lead here, manu-
facture 1t. and distribute the finished
products from this point, for South
ern trade, rather than manufacture
i'm the North and pay the high finish
ed product rate for the long haul.

SENTIMENT IS
MORE STRONGLY.
FOR EXHIBITION
Confidence Is Expressed That
Manufacturers Will Endorse
Plan at Coming Dinner.

Atlanta manufacturers are ex-
pected, one week from Tuesday
to give definite answer to the
question:
DO you want a permanent
exhibit of your products?"
The question will be asked and
the answer given at a dinner to
be held on the night of June "a,
for which it is believed several
hundreds of plates viii be taken.
Brooks Morgan will at this
gathering submit several definite
proposals from owners of build
ings. Any of them is attractive,
it is said, and it is only a ques-
ton of location if the manufac-
turers want the exhibit.
It is hoped to start with not
less than 10000 or $4,000 square
feet of floor space engaged, and
with not fewer than 100 ex-
hibitOrs.
There is every reason to be-
lieve the plan will be adopted
and carried on to successful
elimination.
So much attention has been direct
ed to Chattanooga's experience that
another fine example Of the benefits
Of a permanent exhibit has been over

FOREIGN TRADE
|. GOES AHEAD At
UNUSUAL RATE
Sales Increase From $47,000,-
600 in 1852 to $780,
100000 in 1912.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE lit
tie volume just issued by the Depart
ment Of Commerce entitled "Ameri-
can Manufactures in Foreign Mar
kets," is one that ought to be in the
files of every chamber of commerce.
1t is the first time in which the
facts respecting sales of American
manufactures abroad have been put
into such condensed form as to make
the growth of our foreign trade clear
ly visible both in totals and in de-
tails and over long period of years
The facts are very wonderful. The
book covers only the period from
1852 to 1912, but in that time our
sales of manufactures abroad of all
kinds have grown from $4,000. 900
yearly to 81 800, 900, 900 yearly But even
this misleads a little as to the cor
rect inference to be drawn. for the
figures just stated include manufac-
tured foodstuffs
Promise for 1918.
If we leave these out and consider
only manufactured goods other than
foodstuffs the ratio Of increase has
been even larger, for the foreign sales
have jumped from $27,O0O,O00 in 1852
to over 100000, 900 in 1912, and
promise to be nearly or quite $1,000,
100000 in 1913.
While our total exports of man
ufactures. including foodstuffs. have
increased II per cent during the last
10 years, the manufactures other than
foodstutfs have been over l24 per cent
Strange as it may seem to some. the
greatest Increase Of all is in those
60.
which have grown from 1922, 00O. 900
In 1902 to what will probably be over
$3.50, 600, 600 for the full year of 1913.
an increase of 1873 per cent.
Gives Explicit Details.
The pamphlet gives details Of the
principal articles which are included
in the various groups, as we'll as of
the exports of each group to the diff
terent continents, and percentage
tables from which the relation of all
can be determined. Furthermore. the
exports to each continent are given
by classes of articles over a period
Of years. and again these classes are
subdivided so that the progress of
particular industries in the export
trade appears. For example. il is
shown that the exports Of machinery
from the United States will, in the
present fiscal year. probably exceed
S2OO,OOO,OOO, which compares with
$15,OO0,00 a decade earlier
A table Of particular interest is
that showing manufactures in the in
ternational trade Of the world. from
which il appears that the percen-
tage of increase in the export of
manufactures from 1900 to 1912 Is
greater than in that of her chief in
dustrial competitors. The United
states now ranks third among the
nations In export of manufactures.

Just About Kissing
BY Beatrice Faft5ax

Let those who kiss, and have kissed,
and admit it in pride. or confess it in
shame, gather together while we con-
slider the cases of the young men who
write these appeals.
Here is the burden of "Atlas:" She
begs him to kiss her in friendships
name, and he refuses. He wants to
know if he can gain her love without
kissing her
The love of the right sort Of girl NAV
always be won without the aid of the
kiss, but, once won, the kiss is neces-
sary to the completeness of joy. There
have been courtships without it, but
they must have been as interesting as a
filtration between the ice box and the
kitchen table.
Atlas is only seventeen; too young
to talk OF winning a girls love if he
intends to keep il all the rest of his
days.
Moreover, the girl who begs man
to kiss her isn't giving him any proof
of her affection. "Atlas" will find in
more mature years that the girl more
worth winning will not use her kisses
to excite love. Happiness demands a
more stable foundation than readiness
to kiss. Will ATLAS" please postpone
action in winning any girls love until
he is older and wiser?
c. II. n. should ask the girl to marry
him. If she refuses, he has no author
ity to object to the manner in which
she bestows her kisses. If she accepts.
he has the right to object, and in jus
tice to himself should make his ohjec-
tions both known and felt Some one
said many years ago: Beware of the
woman who desires to be courted by
more than one man" The warning IS
as good now as it was then.
Heartbroken walls that he has been
going with a girl eight months, and
has made no attempt to kiss her Shall
he wait another month, and if she does
not make an attempt herself, speak to
her about it,

"Oh, you don't, eh?" sneered Mr.. Ship
