Williams Election Certain.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 10.-The fact
that practically all of the different
contenders for Sother offices are ia
vorably disposed toward the candi-
dacy of L. Volney Williams for the
Railroad Commission is taken here as
a sure index of his nomination in the
primary Wednesday.
At the present time south Georgia
has no representation on the Railroad
Commission, although that section of
the state has more railroads than any
other, and the city of Waycross, where
Mr. Williams lives, is the railroad
center of southeast Georgia, being the
location of the general shops of the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad, and the
intersection of several trunk lines.
The newspapers of south Georgia,
almost without exception, are support
ing Mr.. Williams, whose own paper,
the Waycross Journal-Herald, is one
of The most enterprising and popular
dailies in the state, and are asking
olher sections of the state to give
south Georgia a representative on the
RAILROAD Commission.
Mr. williams was one of the rep
resentatives from Ware county in the
last legislature and served as chair
man of the constitutional amend
ments committee of the house, one OF
the most important committee posi-
lions in the legislature.

NOW IS The time TO BUY

Just as surely as time is running
short to buy merchandise at these
prices, so surely are supplies of good
goods in the market running short,
because all things give way before the
government and many mills are now
doing government work. You can I'M
derstand what a curtailment of out
put nearly always means. Invariably
it means a further advance in prices.
Apart altogether from any further
curraiIment of output productive costs
are rising and rising. Then this is a
line when a merchant must be very
frank and make things aas clear as
possible.
Outing the past three or four
MONTHS, in spite of the diminishing
output, our New York Representative
secured for us, thirty to thirty
f7e thousand dollars worth of the
best merchandise to be had in this
country for the price, together with
out regular stocks in hand, these
great new purchases constitute what
is reaaa onably believed to be an as
sen,blage not equaled by any store of
our size in the whole state of Georgia
Ali who want to secure some of the
best goods in the country for the
money in this September sale must
wake up at once and take advantage
of the goods which are here in great
abundance. No prices are quoted
here, see large circular, then see the
goods.

BUILDING INDUSTRY

The stock of Zion Building Industry was
greatly increased recently by the purchase of
the }. D. johnson Lumber plant, one of the best
OF the kind, in equipment and arrangement,
along the North Shore
This plant, covering five acres, is the only
yard in this section of the country which has
all its lumber under cover, protected from the
elements. Ali sheds and buildings are supplied
with an electric lighting system and the yards
may be lighted at night. A side track from the
North Western railroad, runs the full length of
the yards.
noticeable feature is the neat systematic
manner IN which all stock is racked, graded and
arranged. The plant has commodious, we'll
appointed Office with furnace heat, good vault,
and other modern equipment.
More building was done in Zion City last year
than at any time since 1902 - the year the city
sprung into existence with the swiftness of a
western boom town.

kept chiefly in view. The appointments and
equipment are up-to-date in every respect.
1t is the purpose Of the Creamery to furnish
only the highest grade products The milk is
pasteurized by the most expensive and sanitary
process known. Other methods would yield a
greater per cent Of profit; but lions standard
is to have the best and purest.

in The Waukegan Daily Gazette Of recent date,
this issue Of the paper being large special
number devoted to the growth and development

eral idea Of the commercial phase Of Zion

from headquarters. The same issue Of the

ing pictures Of the Administration Building,

3-COMMERCIAL.

OFFICE SUPPLY

Perhaps the Office Supply is more widely
known than any other Zion Institution. 1t is
represented by considerable force Of travelling
statesmen covering most Of the states west and
south of Pennsylvania.
Zion travelling salesmen are in a class by them
selves. They never play cards, they never
smoke, and they never use profane language.
Experience has shown these characteristics do
not place them at discount with business firms,
but rather the opposite.
The purpose of Zion Office Supply is to manu-
facture and sell supplies and office equipment
Of all kinds, direct to business and professional
men, through it's travelling salesmen, as well as
by catalog. The method Of selling and deliver
ing the merchandise is unique This depart
ment solicits the business Of banks, attorneys,
county officials, manufacturing concerns and all
persons maintaining an Office
The line handled is large and varied, consist
ing Of multitude of articles convenient for
office use, which is shown in one Of the most
complete catalogs sent out by the trade. Prac-
tlcally everything catalogued is carried in stock
by the institution, in it's own stock room

APRON AND HANDKERCHIEF FACTORY

This plant, located in the same building as
the Baking Industry, also has had marvellous
growth. It was started in July 1911, with only
a few machines and small quarters. In the fall
Of that year the manufacture Of aprons was
taken up and in the spring of 1914 scrim cur
tain department. was added. Later on embroid-
ering, hemstitching, and other lines were added
with great success.
The demand for stZion Made" products has
so steadily increased that large repeat orders are
continually received from Chicago firms The
goods are sold also over several Western states.
One Of Zion s cardinal principles is to give the
best quality possible This, coupled with thor
ough organization is the secret of Zion's COM
mercal growth.

CANDY FACTORY

Zion product which has been especially well
received by the public is Zion candies The
object kept in view in the manufacture Of these
goods is purity. In this they are unique, and
customers have shown high appreciation Of the
fact.
There is no difficulty in selling Zion candies !;
the only trouble is to make them as fast as or
ders come in, especially at the holiday season

FUEL YARDS

The office of the Fuel Yards is located in
the same building as that Of the Building In
dustry.
The difference between this institution and
fuel yards elsewhere is that while other cities
have many yards, Zion City, with population
OF over five thousand people, depends almost en-
tirely upon this one One can therefore imagine
the responsibility which rests upon the manager
of this institution, especially in these times Of
coal stringency and freight blockades.

that there should be but one trading center,
and this immense institution is the development
of that idea. It now has twenty departments
and the business has grown steadily year after
year. Strangers coming into the store are sur
prised at it's extent and the variety of mer-
chandise. The object is to carry everything
within the range Of human needs and it is the
duty Of every manager to see that his stock is
thoroughly up-to-date and selected with great
care
Every effort is made to oblige and please
customers. Clerks, to retain their positions,
must display not only alertness but courtesy.
These stores are a busy place and on Satur-
day nights the isles are jammed with hundreds
of people, occupied with their shopping
The Department Store includes among it's
customers many farmers who drive in to do
their trading from various points over the
county, within a radius Of ten or twelve miles !;
also people from Waukegan, Kenosha, and other
neighboring towns.
Located in the same building with the stores
is the Zion Bank, which does a general banking
business and solicits both savings and CONNER
cial accounts.
