GIRLS
BUY MILLINERY
MADE At HOME
Half the Hats Seen on Peachtree
Street Are Made Here, but
the Fact Is UnheraIded.

Half the women's hats seen on
Peachtree Street are made right in
Atlanta.
The fair Peachtree promenaders
don't know it; the milliners they pat
ronize don't know it; in many cases
the iobbers themselves don't know II.
There are three factories in Atlanta
making womens hats, OF straw. felt,
plush, hemp and the myriad other
materials which go to bedeck milady's
couture and frame her pretty face.
But as soon as the hat leaves these
factories the manufacturers lose their
identity. The hat is marked with the
jobber's label. 1t may be marked
New York, Philadelphia. New Orleans
or even London. The fact that IL Is
made in Atlanta is nowhere to be dis
covered.
one manufacturer tells, with a
grin. of Atlanta milliners who
stocked up" in New York-with At
lanta- made hats.
Altogether. it is an interesting bust
ness.
The American Hat Manufacturing
Company. one of the largest of the
three Atlanta factories. imports
straws direct from China, Japan,
Italy and Germany. These straws
are plated abroad. and either are
dyed there or bleached and dyed in
Camden, n. J.
japan sends hemp braid. Italy fur
nishes the milans, leghorns and tus-
cans. Germany furnishes peculiar
material known as Neapolitan braid,
which, though few know 1t, is made
from American cotton. China fur
nishes coarse gtraws.
So much for the straws The felt
bodies come from abroad, in the
rough-queer, looking toadstools Of
various shades. Silks, ribbons, vel
vets, pushes and ornaments are car
ried in quantity enough to stock dry
goods store of large proportions.
Just now the factories are busy
with the hats to be worn this fall and
winter, and with misses ana chill
drens hats for spring, 1914.
Sample rooms already are filled
with fall and spring lines. dazzling
arrays of colors, and seemingly In al
most every shape, but with smaller
hats predominating.
The making Of a hat may be said to
begin in the room where a skilled
workman makes plaster molds accu-
rately defining the shapes. From
these plaster affairs metal dies are
made. These dies are put in the
| presses and heated by gas flames
The rough shapes, either felt. velvet
straw or hemp, are stamped with
these hot dies and held in them until
| dry. When removed the heat has
baked the sticky Sizing" until the
shapes are firm.
From the presses the velvet and
plush hats go to a workman who
steams them and brushes up the nap
to its original beauty.
The straw shapes are made in the
factory. Ingeniously designed sewing
machines. manipulated by skillful
girls, sew the braid round and round,
until a tiny knot grows into a gigantic
hat. In the straw season 100 girls
are busy at these machines.

EVansVille's Experience.
Boiling H. Jones told of the ex-
perience of Sc furniture manufactur-
ers in Evansville, Ind, who put up
building and displayed their lines in

offices. They find it easier to get
prospective customers to look at their
wares, and also find the selling cost
cut to 3 per cent.
That convinced me-" said Mr.
Jones. Did any manufacturer here
ever sell goods for per cent mer-
chandising cost? This argument
alone seems to me unanswerable.'
He spoke of the changes which have
come about in the Southern field
within five years. No longer is it
possible to sell merchant full car

EngliShman'S Criticism of
Observation-Disclosures
Selfridge's Manager Unjustifed in Saying Gus
toners Wait Too Long for Parcels

Managers of Atlanta department
stores made tests at random to dem
onstrate that It takes on an average
80 seconds for the delivery of a pack
age and the making Of change
Lucian York, manager of Richs
says:
we have a system which we be-
lieve is the best vet devised from
the viewpoint Of the customer. and
Selfridge's certainly have nothing Ia
compare with It. We use an 1denti-
fication coin
Departs at Once.
Most of our charge customers
have their parcels delivered After
the transaction is made the customer
merely gives her name and address
to the salesperson, shows her identi-
fication coin, and departs at once.
Even when the customer takes the
parcel with her. the wrapper in the
stand has it ready in a jiffy. Time
records to gauge our wrappers show
that on an average they use less
than a minute.
The delivery of packages, after all,
is simply minor matter. What our
American people want broadly is
service-the right merchandise at the
right time at the right price. In Eng
fish stores customers still are impor-
tuned to buy; in fact, in many of the
stores it is almost impossible to leave
without buying. Fancy such a condi-
ton here!
Again, here we make every effort
to get what the customer wants. We
anticipate the styles, bring on new
models and patterns.
when the customer purchases
these goods she buys them at our
risk--if they are not pleasing to her
when she gets them home she is at
liberty to return them. Here the Gus
toner is always right-in England
from what l understand, she is more
at the mercy Of the storekeeper."

A f. Cowper, one Of the important
men in the organization of Selfridge
& Co., which in turn has, perhaps the
most important department store in
London. recently made a visit to the
United States. He spent most Of his
time, of course, in looking over
American department stores, and be-
fore he departed for England freed
himself of some criticism.
"One thing which struck me was
the time IT takes to complete pur-
chase and get your goods wrapped
and delivered" he said.
AT home we have no bundle wrap
pers; the clerks wrap the packages,
and we find II saves time and mis-
takes. When a customer has made a
purchase and the goods are shipped
by carrier or messenger to a distant
CASH and bundle desk, every second
she has to wait is magnified to a
minute, whereas If the goods are
wrapped by the clerk. the customer
is getting the full attention of that
salesperson, and II a minute or two
should be lost, she is seeing the &C
ton all the time. and does not feel
that she has been lost sight of. In
Selfridge's We use cash registers, and
we find them great savers of time"
Atlanta merchandise experts do not
agree with the English student of
store service.
Mr.. Cowper, in the opinion of va
rious Atlantans approached on the
subject, magnifes the Importance Of
the transactions where the purchases
actually are taken away by the buyer.
They remark that while it may be
the custom in London for shoppers to
carry home their purchases. nine out
Of ten customers in Atlanta demand

At any rate, they say. there is very
little delay, and 1t is much better to
free the salespeople from the duty
Of wrapping packages.

ATLANTA MANUFACTURERS AND JOBBERS ARE DOING !
Silk Dyers Strike;
Feathers Face Bar;
Flowers in Favor
MiTTlners Think That for Once They
Can Predict Styles for Fall
Well In Advance.

Flowers will be popular on wom-
ems hats for fall and winter wear.
In July this is a dangerous predic-
ton Circumstances, however, make
it fairly safe prophecy. in the opin-
ion Of c. B. Palmer, of NJ Kutz Co,
wholesale milliners.
Dame Fashion might take a notion
to dictate ribbons. But the silk dy-
ers' strikes in Paterson, n. J., have
caused an increase of 20 per cent in
the cost Of ribbons, and even at these
advanced prices, deliveries can not
be made. At best. goods can not be
promised before August Is or Sep
TENDER 1, and. even if the mills re-
open, they are likely to be over
whelmed with the orders which have
been accommodating.
Feathers, again, might have been
Fashions favorites. But right now
there is trouble in Congress over the
importation Of feathers. The milli-
ners and the Audubon Society are in
the throes Of a bitter struggle which
will decide whether feathers will be
admitted at all under the new tariff.
Remain only fur and flowers. For
three seasons, velvet and silk flow
ers have been increasing in popular
ity on fall and winter hats, and, with
the scarcity of other materials, are
likely to take the ascendency this
fall.
Small hats will rule-that is. small
, er than those which have been worn
for the past few seasons. Crowns will
be round with turned-up brims, ac-
cording to Mr.. Palmer. What will be
the favorite colors, besides the sta
pie blues, browns and black, no one
will know until September /.

last Monday to cover the Southern

II In spite of the meager voting it
was expected that the congressional

term until another election can be
held, which will be when Huerta
chooses. The stumbling block to this
program is in Huerta calling the con.
gressional election legal while declar.
ing the presidential election void,
while the. same ballot was used in
both.
Those knowing Huerta say little
thing like that will not feaze him.
The Mexican constitution sets forth
that there are approximately 3,000,-
600 voters in the republic and that
one-third of them must vote to make
an election binding.
The Diaz leaders and the Catholic
party, of which FREDERICK Gamboa was
the candidate, requested their parti.
sans not to vote. Few of them did.
In some polling places no votes
we're cast all day, and it was report
ed that at several voting tables even
the election officials failed to show.
Huerta has issued a decree raising
the federal army from $4,000 to $780,
600. 1t is said that CONSUMPTION will
be necessary to carry out this order.
