MERGER ANNOUNCED
Charles W. Nash Takes on
New Venture at Ripe
Age of 72 Years
KENOSHA, Wis, — (#) — At 72
when most big business men eyed
pipe, slippers and a quiet place in
the country, ruddy-faced Charles
W. Nash, the motor magnate, was
busy today on & new expansion of
his huge industrial holdings and a
new phase in his colorful career.
Directors of Nash Motors and of
Kelvinator Corporation of Detroit
vesterday approved a merger of
the two companies to be known as
the Nash-Kelvinator corporation.
Combined assetg are 155,000,000.
The venture spreads the Nash
influence again to Michigan where
a job in a cherry orchard put him
on the path to fame in the auto
mobile industry.
Born on a farnt in DeKalb, 111,
Nash was an orphan at six. He was
apprenticed to a Michigan farmer,
put ran away in his early 'teens and
hired out to J. Dallag Dort, an as
sociate of W. C. Durant, to pick
cherries. The job led on one as
night watchman in the Durant-Dort
Carriage company at Flint.
From day laborer he advanced to
foremn, then to vice president and
finally general manager. In 1913
he beca,me»president of .General
Motors.
Three years later he purchased
the Jeffrey Motor Car company
here and in the next year the first
Nash automobile was produced.
Hard work, adherence to the gol
den rule, economy and truthfulness
are the cardinal principles in
Nash's personal philosophy.

Governor Alf M. Landon sped his

toward an eastern climax in New

The. republican nominee left

Special Interests Supporting
Amendment, Mayor-Elect Says
William B. Hartsfield and Senator-Elect Lindsay Join
Forces in Opposing Passage of 15-Mill
Amendment Next Tuesday
ATLANTA, Ga, 5+ #) — Special
interestg and holders of stocks,
bonds and mortgages who hope to
evade their jus’t share of taxation
are making the strongest fight for
the 15-mill tax limitation amend
ment to the state constituion. to
be voted on November 3, according
to William B. Hartfield, Atlanta’s
mayor-elect,
Senator-elect Paul Lindsay of
DeKalb county also attacks the
amendment, citing three objections:
“First, if we are going to limit
taxation on one class of property
'we should limit taxation on all
property,” he asserted. “Secondly,
this proposed amenament is unfair
in that it carries two limitations
and two classifications in the one
amendment, and the people can
not vote on one without voting on
‘the other. Third, passage of this
amendment will mean to strike out
la large part of our basic revenue
j.wlth nothing offered to sustain
city, county, state and school gov
;ernmems until new revenue sour
ces can be devised.”
Engineers Call Water Works
Here Among “Most Modern”
By FRANCES BATTEY
“No waterworks plant in the
United States is m~- modern than
Athens’ new plant” declared H. F.
Weiderman, of Weiderman and
Singleton, Atlanta consulting en
gineers..
Tyvphoid scares and actual epi
demics caused by imrure waler
are now to be classed with other
relies in the city’'s supply experi
ments. Wells used by the Georgia
students from the first session of
the University in 1801 to 1882
caused much typhoid. Little im
provement of the unsanitary con
ditions came with the New York
owned first waterworks in Athens
which was established in 1882.
“Everybody will be in the hospi
tal with typhoid fever if they
don't stop using that foul water’
was City Attorney Tinsley W.
Rucker’s opinion in the early nine
ties when the general public, dis
gusted with the situation, ' began
to demand a locally-owned system.
