Sky City to
identify items
made in South
Starting next week Sky City Stores
will initiate a new program to identify
items they carry that are made in the
South, it was announced today by
Robert B Peterson, chairman of the
board
The program is designed to make
customers aware of products that are
made in the Southern region, and to
increase demand for these products
‘ Headquartered in Asheville, N C.,
and with all of our 73 stores located in
five Southern states. Sky City is very
concerned about general economic of
conditions throughout our region the
country,” said Peterson, “Since
unemployment, in part, is directly
related to factory output, increased
sales of regionally-produced products he
tan mean increased employment,”
added
Using a green and yellow ‘Made in
the South” logo, Sky City will identify
all items used in their advertising
program that are made in the Southern
region, and this logo will also be used
in ihe stores to identify these items.
“This program is not intended to be
exclusive at Sky City." said Peterson
“We hope that other regional and local
merchants will join us and also identify
their products that are made in the
South Our combined efforts could
have a dramatic impact on sales of
Southern-produced products,
Peterson added
