INCREASE OUR INDUSTRIES
The growing and flourishing cities throughout the
country are the cities which have many small indus
tries. It is true that the larger industries we have
the more benefits are derived to the general chan
nels ot commerce, but after all it is the small manu
facturing plant which contributes much to the up
building and growth of all communities. With in
creased payrolls in Athens, business would soon take
■ on an entirely new growth and become not only sub
stantial, but stable in all lines and every week would
be a good week for business to the merchants. Our
cotton crop in this section, of course, has been our
dependence since the civil war, but under boll wee
vil conditions, if we are to succeed, we must diversify
our crops and raise more foodstuff. Another highly
important industry which has not been cultivated to
any degree of proportion is that of cattle and hog
raising. This industry can be made one of the most
profitable of all.
With diversified crops and increased manufactur
ing enterprises, Athens can be made the hub for this
entire section of the state and the trade extension
carried over an area which has not been reached in
the past. Concerted action on the part of our people
and active co-operation on the part of our Chamber
of Commerce should be inaugurated for the purpose
of encouraging the establishment of new manufac
turing industries and bring about increased payrolls
each week. It can be done and with the proper
effort many small industries can be brought here and
others organized with local capital. The time has
come when we must do something to arouse a spirit
of building and in building we must have an eye to
the smaller plant, which in numbers, will be worth as
i -h to the city as will a large one.
It may be depended upon that a city which has
small factories has a safe future before it, in fact, a
much safer future than a community which is domi
nated by some-particular line of business.
THEIR EYES ON US
Athens is unddubtedly the ‘‘metropolis” of north
east Georgia. Time after time our newspaper friends,
in their meetings here, have told us that their people
are depending oh Athens to lead industrially, com
mercially and agriculturally in this section.
The eyes of the northeast Georgia people are on
- Athens. There,is no doubt as to that. The editors of
this section should know what they are talking about
and they say so, and editors do not usually say what
they do not believe although some folks do insist
“you cannot believe what’s in the newspaper!”'
Athens should and is awakening to its responsi
bility, its duty to the people of this section. One of
its greatest needs at the present time is more indus
tries. If we haven't the power to supply these indus
tries a real effort must be made to get it.
As to aiding in the agricultural development there
is no doubt but that the cold storage established by
the Atlantic Ice & Coal Corporation, the Abattoir
and the Curb Market, will as a Hartwell visitor, So
licitor General A. S. Skelton said while here recent-
, iy, “make Athens the marketing center for north-
, east Georgia.”
Solicitor Skelton declared that the farmers of this
part of northeast Georgia are diversifying and the
time will come when they must find an outlet for
their surplus products. They are depending on
Athens to provide the machinery for marketing their
crops.
For our own good as well as that of the farmers of
this section we must not let up in the splendid begin
ning made in the cold storage, abattoir and curb
- market.
QABSON ADVISES MERCHANTS TO ADVERTISE
Roger W. Babson, the famous statistical and busi
ness expert, in a recent letter discussing conditions,
' gives the following advice to merchants:
! “During the next few months |ocpl merchants
; ' should advertise. National manufacturers are utiliz-
, i ihg the great power of advertising in the distribution
;* of their products. The successful department stores
. are also usingJarge space in the newspapers; but the
! ' smaller retaiHr has yet failed to advertise as he
i' r should. Perhaps this is Why he ik small—one cannot
;‘ t : tell. There surely is some reason why the people
t flock to one merchant and pass by another.
"Statistics certainly indicate that the reason is
closely connected with the advertising. > Let me also
take this occasion to urge retailers to use the news
papers in a dignified way rather than attempting to
use billboards and novetly contrivances.
“During the past two months I have motored con-
sideralily throughout different sections of the coun-
. try. At almost every cross-road is some sort of a sign
j— a windmill or something else sold to some bank or
merchant who thought he had discovered a cheaper
or more effective method of advertising than his
newspaper offered.
“-As a matter of fact, he unconsciously disfigures
■ : the highways, endangers life and makes enemies in
stead of friends. Merchandising is a profession and
should be treated in a dignified way. Moreover, how
ba 2h 8 -f‘ I 5 8 . dopt cheap appearing methods of
; publicity is beyond the comprehension of most busi-
- ness men. Yet I understand the temptation, having
once fallen for outdoor advertising myself much
against the advice of the Gundlach Advertising Agen-
cy. which handles our copy.”
While we were helping feed starving Russians last
