‘GEORGIA’S FIVE
YEAR PLAN’ GIVEN
ENDORSEMENT
INVOLVES ADVANCEMENT OF
ECONOMIC SITUATION
IN THE STATE
Sixty of Georgia’s most promi
nent industrial and financial leaders
have endorsed a movement to cre
ate a statewide organization, to be
known as the “Committee of One
Hundred,” to carry out “Georgia’s
Five-Year Plan,” according to news
stories sent out from Atlanta.
This plan involves the improve
ment and advancement of economic
conditions in Georgia, along co-op
erative lines, and a national adver
tising and publicity campaign to at
tract the attention of the nation to
Georgia’s climate and natural beauty.
This movement is a result of a
campaign that C. F. Redden has
been carrying on throughout the
[ state to awaken Georgia to a real
[ ization, that by advertising her recre
ational advantages and attracting
northern sportsmen and home-seek
ers, she can develop her greatest
source of income.
In discussing Georgia’s future,
Mr. Redden said:
“If the citizens of Georgia could
only be made to realize what golden!
opportunities are available here, [
you would witness in this state with
in the next ten years the greatest ex
pansion in industry, population and j
wealth that has ever taken place in I
the South.
“Georgia’s greatest need, in my
opinion is to develop a spirit of
state-wide cooperation and team
work, and a realization that attract
ing new capital, new industries and
new population to Georgia is a big
job and can only be done effective
ly by th'e coordinated efforts and
support of the business leaders of
the entire state.
“This is the day of dominance in
advertising, not only in space and
copy, but art work, brains and ex
perience.
“Georgia needs and deserves a
dominating campaign and that can
only be accomplished by state-wide
team work and not by individual
communities flittering away their
appropriations, attempting to attract
favorable national attention.”
People throughout Georgia are en
dorsing the movement as shown by
some of the statements herewith:
Thomas K. Glenn, chairman of
the board, First National bank, At
lanta, says, ‘Our recovery from the
business depression will depend to
a very large extent on our will to
cooperate. That is why the commit
tee of one hundred should accom
plish really worthwhile results for
Georgia—it will strive to develop a
state-wide spirit of cooperation and
that is what we need.”
Colonel Samuel Tate, president
Georgia Marble Co., Tate, Ga.:
“Business men of Georgia must
awaken to the advantages of co
operation and team Work,. Other
states have accomplished (tremen
dous results by coordinated efforts
and Georgia should profit by their
experience.”
W. D. Anderson, president of the
Bibb Manufacturing Co., Macon,
Ga.: “Attracting new wealth and
new population to Georgia will ex
pand our volume of trade, provide a
market for the products of our
[farms and orchards and increase the
I prosperity of our citizens. The
■ 'Committee of One Hundred’ can
[accomplish this better than individ
ual groups working independent of
each other.”
[ W. C. Bradley, chairman of the
board, Coca-Cola company; presi
dent Columbus Bank & Trust Co.,
Columbus. Ga.: “Georgia needs such
an organization enjoying the confi
dence and the support of her civic
and business leaders to launch an
aggressive, convincing sales cam
paign. telling the nation why they
should come to Georgia and stress-
