The Men Who Are Making "Jack's Corner"

Morgan M. Smith: (First two paragraphs are omitted from this excerpt; they tell about Mr.
Smith) ...mighty high in his ideals of dealing with his fellow man.

For ten years he has made his home in Atlanta - and all this time he has been closely identified with the clothing trade of this section. For the past two years he has been one of the upbuilding units in my clothing business, and since "Jack's Corner" was established he has been a strong
factor in bringing popularity to this place.

If you want to meet a REAL CUTTER and FITTER - if you want an opportunity to select tailoring patterns where appearance and quality are perfectly combined, and where you can rely upon the help of a man who KNOWS materials, drop in at "Jack's Corner" and ask for Bill Apel.

L. M. Parnell: (First two paragraphs talk about Mr. Parnell) ...Now he's back and ready for business again, and "Jack's Corner" holds an inviting place for him.

Mr. Parnell recently became associated with me at my convenient corner and already has shown the stamp of a young man that he is. Trained in the clothing business, with an affable and pleasing manner, ready and courteous in all that he does, he is helping to attract at larger trade day by day at "Jack's Corner." It is refreshing to meet a youngster like this Parnell fellow and if you drop in and let him show you some of the excellent tailoring materials I have ready for you, or to look over my stock of ready-to-wear suits, you will be agreeably surprised - both as to the patience and painstaking manner of young Parnell and the superior quality of goods you will find.

Young People Hold Big Rally at Wesley

Every Protestant Church of the City is Represented at Tri-Union Meeting

Wesley Memorial Methodist Church was crowded to capacity and all of the Protestant churches of the city were represented at the tri-union rally of the students of Georgia Tech, Agnes Scott college and the church societies of Atlanta, Decatur, Hapeville and College Park last night.

The rally has been an annual event heretofore, but at last night's meeting by unanimous vote those participating expressed their intention hereafter to bring it about twice a year.

The principal address of the evening was that of Rev. Dr. J. F. Lyons, pastor of the First Presbyterian church on "Will Christian America Be Ready to Do Her Duty When the War is Ended". Dr. H. A. Porter, pastor of the Second Baptist church, also delivered an instructive and distinctly entertaining address on "Training the Recruits".

Reports were submitted by C B. Hamilton, president of the BYPU; Jack Hayes, president of the Epworth League and John Crenshaw at the head of the Christian Endeavors.

An orchestra of more than forty pieces representing the membership of the three societies concerned provided a program of excellent music.
