of some legislators the belief that he
would attempt to delay apology as long
as possible. even to the extent of further
defiance, in the hope of arousing patri-

States and thereby reviving waning sup
port of his own administration by the
Mexican people. To those who hold this
view the news was particularly crafty

to Huerta to salute the colors as demand

THERE'S CLEAR TRACK
FOR 1914 BUSINESS"
GORDON p. kIsER, OF THE M. c.
KISER CO., is VERY OPTIMISTIC
OVER THE OUTLOOK.

There's a clear track now for the |
business train of 1914" said Gordon p.
Kiser, president of the M. c. Kiser
company, wholesalers Of Shield Brand
shoes. "The good crops and prices of
1918 rolled the barriers of old debts
out of the way. The tariff and cur
rency laws have pounded two old buga-
boo boulders into fragments and the
fragments now serve as ballast under
the road of progress instead of being
obstacles upon it. Business leaders
everywhere are showing a commend
able disposition to cooperate with the
administration in helping solve vexing
problems in way that will right con-
ditions and at the same time not dis
turb the business equilibrium of the
nation.
"In the territory served by Atlanta's
wholesale market the business of the
new year has started off with firm
and steadily increasing volume. Shield
Brand shoes have such a demand as
they never had before. In my estima-
ton this is due to two reasons: First,
the high standard of our goods and its
wider recognition each year both
by dealers and consumers, and second,
to the unhampered future that bust
ness in the south and southeast is now
facing.
"The dealers of the south are find
ing by actual experience that 1t is
useless for them to go to Boston or
other eastern markets for their shoes,
when they can find right here in At
lanta, a nearby market. everything
that more distant points can offer
and more besides. Atlanta can match
quality and price anywhere and 1t
offers far superior facilities for quick
shipments and prompt service.
THAT this is true is attested by the
fact that the last Merchants week
here last August under the auspices
; of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association, more buyers than ever
who had never patronized the Atlanta
market before were here and without
exception declared that henceforth it
was Atlanta and Atlanta goods for
| them.
"The Merchants week which the
association has scheduled to begin on
February 16 will undoubtedly bring
thousands of merchants from all over
the south. There are good times in
the south now and the merchants will
come in large numbers to join in the
big spring celebration which the
wholesalers and manufacturers here
have arranged for them.
THE house of Kiser always has a
cordial welcome awaiting it's patrons
and friends whenever they visit At
lanta and we extend a special invita-
ton to the February visitors to come
and see us at that time and make our
store at II East Hunter street their
headquarters"
