At The SHOPS
NORKMEN ACTIVE
Though Work is Regular All
Year

Out at the Americus shops of the
SeabOard Air Line, where very nearly
three hundred busy toilers are N
ployed in the several departments, The
new year mas begun auspiciously aud
gives promise of being a good one
throughout The shops are worl- ns q
full force of machinists, boiler max
ers, carpenters and other skilled " o!k-
men, and on full time six days in the
week.
This, however, was done throug Gu
the entire fall season, as there h.'s
been abundant work on hand at the
local shops ard the men have for
many months been kept busy there.
The Seaboard shops have been for
many years Americus' most important
industrial plant, affording employment
to large forces of skilled and un-
skilled workmen.
The monthly payroll here is proba-
bly, $4,000 upon the average, and the
greater portion of this large amount
is spent in Americus, fact which
merchants appreciate.

CHANGES IN
AGENCY OF
MASSENGALE
FIRM IS STRENGTHENED
By Addition Of Widely Known
Expert

Atlanta Ga, Jan. 4.-Importa'lt
changes to meet expanding business
conditions are announced by the Mas,
ecnPale Advertising Agency, of At
lanta, NJ tabIy the election by the
stockL olders Of C. R. Atchison, Of
Nashville, Tenn, as vice president and
general manager.
Mr.. Atchison comes to Atlanta from
Nashville, where he has had wide ex-
perience in advertising in all its
branches. Responding to the call Of
talent he took hold at the bottom,
served two years as copy writer, one
year as advertising solicitor, three
years as advertising manager of the
Nashville Tennessean, one year as
business manager of the consolidated
yTennessean and American and, finally,
one year manager of the Nashville Of
flee of the Massengale Advertising
Agency
This new position of vice president
and general manager in the Atlanta
office, created for Mr. Atchison, is one
that carries large responsibilities ami
requires the alert energies of the high
est advertising ability Mr. Atchison
brings with him from the Nashville
office a large amount of business, ap-
proximately 100000 annually, retain
ing every customer there served. The
Nashville office will be continued un-
der a competent manager to be named.
President st. Elmo Massenga1e will
in future spend more of his time in
the field among his clients, while the
agency management and direction will
devolve upon Vice President Atchison,
assisted by Secretary w. R. Massen-
gale.
Another important expansive change
is the requirement by the Massengale
Advertising Agency of complete own
.ership and control of the Massenga1s
bulletin System, of which G. B. Mas
sengale, formerly special agency audi
tor, has taken charge as manager. The
Massengale Advertising Agency is oue
of the twelve licensed bill posting So
licitors in the United States, and this
service, including bill posting and
painted sign advertising covering the
entire United States and Canada gives
the Massengale Advertising Agency
the most complete advertising system
in the country.
These changes and others of a mi
nor nature, made in response to the
demands of growing business, COM
plete the equipment of an advertising
service unexcelled.

Looking Forward.
Favorable conditions are in the ma
jority as the new year opens. Easily
first in this category are basic crop
results, which tend to exert steadily
widening influence as they pass into
human and animal consumption. To an
extent probably never before excell-
ed, the crops have been gathered,
housed or marketed in good condition,
and cheaper food, which lies at the
base of all industrial effort, seems
likely to be one beneficial feature. As
to future crops, it may be said that
the winter-wheat crop starts out with
better condition though with a
smaller area than year ago. Or
ders now on the books of manufac-
turers and wholesalers are sufficient
to keep most lines busy until spring
arrives. In lines where bookings run
beyond the spring and up to the fall.
