Tho Importance of Insisting upon making our city a cleaner, more attrac tive city and one of which we may be proud, was brought home to the writer while attending n national advertising convention nt Atlanta, Gn, After making a tour of the residence and suburban districts, as well as tin downtown business portion of Atlanta I was very favorably Impressed.

AVhnt does a business "man owe to the city in which his business Is lo cated besides the paynmnt of taxes! Nothing, some close-fisted nnd tight lipped business men will say. But thoy are not the biggest success, nor are they the kind of business men who get the most out of life. The business men who make the biggest successes and who get tho most out of life are the kind who believe they owe some thing more to the city In which their business Is located than the payment of taxes, who believe they owe it tvhat they can contribute of active aid n solving the problems thnt confront It, social, political or commercial. For tunately for the cities of this country, there are many able business men uho, disregarding the advice of tho kind of business men who sny that it may caifto them to lose somo trade If they take sides In 'a city's nffalrs, are devoting considerable qf their time and their tnlents to doing something for tho general good Of their city.
