“The Exposition was crowded to-day with the employees of the Plant
System and the friends of Mr. H. B. Plant, the president of that System,
for it was Plant Day.
“There is perhaps no more interesting figure in American business life
to-day than H. B. Plant, and his employees have for him that feeling of
love that is so rarely held by the employees of a great corporation for
its head. As an evidence of that love and kindly feeling the employees
gathered to-day to do him honor.”--Atlanta _Journal_.
