This is .no f longer tfid ; case. Two large bleacheries are locat ed in this county and these two plants finish the majority' of the cotton goods made by the l ocal mills. Known For Other Things “But Griffin is also known for other things than her Turkish towels and her cotton goods. Lo cated within the limits of the city are the plants of the Po mona Products Company, canners of at least fifty per cent of the pimiento peppers canned in this country. About ten years ago, a Spalding county farmer with a vision, wrote the American am bassador in Spaing asking him to send seed of the Spanish pimien to. The seed arrived and were planted. The red day . soil of Georgia was well suited for pep per culture and it was shown that they could be grown here in large quantities. U The’ next question was a meth od of preserving. The Spanish canneries used a method of boil ing in oil. This method was not as modern as it should be and the Spalding Criunty farmed feet out to find another method. He discovered and patented a ma chine whereby the pepper is roasted and in 'the roasting the skin is burhed off. This method and machine, with slight improve ments, are used today in the three modern plants operated by the Fdinoria Products Company. ,I "' 1 Teach Grows Here r *The ‘ ' Gerirgia peadh, world wide in reputation and flavor, grows as well in this section of the state as anywhere. Last year peaches of the value of one hun dred eighty-five thousand dollars were shipped to eastern and northern markets from this coun ty. So, Griffin, the home of the baby Exchange Club, is located in the midst of a manufacturing and agricultural district. During the years when the boll weevil wrought financial ruin to some sections of the country, Grjffin continued to grow and prosper, for the reason,that Griffin is not dependent upon any one thing for ,her prosperity. “The Dixie Highway, the mam artery for tourist travel from the cast nnd northeast to ’’The Land of Flowers,” passes through the center of Griffin. Every mile thi* highway in our county paved with concrete. So the change' Clu$' of Griffin members of i, bther'”clubs to dver in our city arid learn know the members of the club.
