Discussing the decision of the
Athens Manufacturing Company
to make the homes in the South

neighborhood available to em
ployes who desired to buy homes
of their own, D. D. Quillian,
general manager, said all em
ployes residing in the homes
were ‘given first choice, after
which other employes were next
in line and homes not bought by
employes were then made avail
able to other purchasers. How
ever, all of the homes but one or
two were bought by employes.
Government Appraiser
In order that a price could be
arrived at which would be con
sidered reasonable and satisfac
tory the services of C. C. Haw=
ken, an official appraiser for the
Veterans Administration, were
obtained and he made the ap
praisals upon which the price
was based. Hutchins, Cox "and
Stroud, Inc., handled the tran:-
actions and wherever loahs were
necessary ‘they were made by
the Athens Federal Savings &
Loan Association. The company
required only a ten percent down
payment,
The houses have sewerage fa
cilities, as well as water .and
iizght. Since the new owners have
moved into the homes, the city
has improved the streets in the
neighborhood including grading
and scraping them.
Mr. Quillian said the Athens
Manufacturing 'Company is well
pleased with the promptness
which moved the employes in
taking advantage of the oppor
tunity to own their homes. The
fact that several paid spot cash
for their new property indicated
that they had been preparing for
the day when the opportunity
would be theirs to buy and own
outright the house in which they
make their home. |

. Home ownership plays an important part in community pride
and constructive citizenship.
We congratulate the Athens Manufacturing Company and its
management for making it possible for Athens to have seventy
six new home owners, by making available at reasonable prices,
and easy terms the homes in the vicinity of the former Southern
Manufacturing Company.
Eleven veterans of World War 11 are included in the group of
citizens who have bought these homes and have moved into them,
. By transforming what was formerly a “mill village” into a,
community of home-owners, the Athens Manufacturing Com
pany has made a fine contribution to the community.
We are glad to have had the opportunity of handling the sales
of this property and feel that the purchasers of these homes used
sound judgment by taking advantage of the opportuniy of own
ing their own homes. :
