us to join hands with the Atlanta people
and send our best exhibits and our best men
to the exposition. Tlirre we shall meet
the representatives of the countries south
of us and it will be an easy matter for us
to come to an understanding. When we
meet the for.-ign visitors and let tie m know
wh it we have to sell and what w<‘ wish to
purchase mutual self interest will lead
to closer trade relations.

a big success. We are going to take an
active part in it, and if the managers
want tiny extra money' they' can get ail
