Lula Peek Home Demonstration Drivers Say: Fully-Opened 1-85 Good While It Lasted COMMERCE -Area motor- ists will quickly tell you one thing: It was good traveling In- terstate Highway 85 into Atlanta while it lasted. Trouble is, it didn't last long. Highway department officials opened the last 15-mile portion of the super-route one week ago to handle the tremendous load of South Carolina traffic flowing into Atlanta for the Clemson - Tech football game. But it was closed again Mon- day and, for all practical purposes, it will be closed until late October or early November - when the entire route will be opened from Atlanta to the South Carolina line beyond La- vonia. Any rate, area people who had the opportunity to travel to Atlanta last weekend came back with a "glowing" report on what to expect when it is opened all the way. Many mo- torists told of driving the 80-plus miles in little more than an hour. Presently, traffic is re-routed around Jefferson or Gainesville to reach the end of I-85 now opened as far as Braselton.

Slogan Maker Speaks The "We Try Harder" man will speak at the Georgia In- dustrial Relations Conference in October. Robert C. Townsend, Chairman of the Board of the Avis Rent-a-Car Corporation, will be the keynote speaker at the Associated Industries of Georgia's annual conference. The "We Try Harder" slogan was inroduied by Townsend when he became head of the avis Corporation. Townsend took over the ailing Avis in March of 1962, which up to that time had never showed a profit. When the books were closed that year, the company showed an operating loss of well over $600,000. A few months ago, Avis reported a net profit of almost $3 million. The slogan had paid off. Townsend's approach to busi- ness is unorthodox by usual standards. He has no secretary, answers his own phones, writes his own letters and keeps his own files. Townsend has a reputation as a money-maker-for his busi- ness associates and his stock- holders. His management of the half billion dollar investment fund of American Express was so successful that he was charged with management of that company's $100 million de- posit foreign banking business.
