Good Name of Atlanta Defended by AB Men
The Atlanta delegation defended the city’s good name by drafting to The Toronto Evening Telegram a counter article retracting a claim that whisky could be bought openly on Atlanta streets from Negroes. They refute the piece as false and note Atlanta’s dry status, prosperity, and successful conventions since prohibition. The message details the 1916 Shrine convention handling and lists Atlanta’s expected hosting prospects and the new executive committee selections for the advertising men’s convention organization.
