Holcombe Armature Plant
Begins Production Here
Budding Butts County is
beginning to attract new and
vibrant industry, the most
recent of which is the
Holcombe Armature Com
pany. The plant just complet
ed and located on the Stark
Post Road is a rotor
production plant.
Over 100 different types of
used rotors, which are parts
used in alternators of any
type of engine that runs a
charging system, will be
received in Jackson from
sources all over the nation.
They will then be stripped of
all nonfunctional parts,
cleaned and new rotors
assembled and shipped to an
delicious and bountiful din
ner complete with a beautiful
cake. Those present in
addition to Mr. and Mrs.
Presley, Kim and Tanya
were Mr. and Mrs. Rebon
Maddox and June, Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Pickel and Marty
and Mr. Bruce Geidner, all of
Jackson.
Alan Washington cele
brated his first birthday
Saturday afternoon with a
party at the home of his
parents, Mr. and Mrs.

decorated with balloons and
a beautiful cake, decorated
with a chu-chu train and one
candle. The honoree was the
recipient of many nice and
useful gifts. The guests
enjoyed cake, ice cream,
Cokes and other goodies.
Those present in addition to
Alan and his parents were
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hearn,
Charlie, Linda and Christi
and Mrs. Wooten, all of
Hampton, Mrs. Keith Wash
ington and Kip, Mrs. Stanley
McCart and Mike and Mr.
and Mrs. S. A. Washington.
Atlanta office for distribu
tion.
Butts County was selected
as a location for the plant as
the result of a need for labor.
“The State Chamber of
Commerce recommended
Butts County very highly”,
said Sherrell Loftin, Plant
Supervisor.
Mr. Loftin has a very
refreshing approach to labor
management. “Race will not
be a consideration for job
selection,” said Mr. Loftin.
He continued, “... there will
be no unqualified personnel
working for me; all will be
trained to operate every
machine in his or her
department.” It is obvious to
anyone who speaks to him
that Mr. Loftin will be
running his plant in an
atmosphere of understanding
and cooperation, and if his
track record with the
company so far is any
indication of what is to come,
he will be more than meeting
expected production. He is
presently hiring workers in
pairs of two (four workers
per week) and by the middle
of July he hopes to be at full
production and employing at
least twelve or thirteen
people.
Mr. Loftin is a native of
Troup County. He moved into
Butts County a little less than
two months ago. He joined
the company about one and a
half years ago and worked in
the Atlanta office. Mr. Loftin
is very optimistic about the
business. “As far as I know,
the company has never had
to let help go due to economic
circumatances; even diming
the worst of the fuel crisis we
were still at full production.
We have a nice building here,
in a good spot . . . plenty of
room for expansion. In six

years the Sarasota plant
tripled square footage from
5,000 to 18,000 and put 8n a
second shift of personnel. If
labor holds, we’ll triple our
size in three years; if not,
we’H move somewhere else,”
he said. “When full product
ion is reached, more person
nel will be added.”
The company was founded
in 1946 and is run by Earl
Holcombe and Jimmy Hol
combe of Atlanta. Holcombe
Armature Company offices
are located in Atlanta,
Sarasota, Florida and now
Jackson. The Sarasota plant
has been producing statores
(a part used in an alternator)
since 1968.
All of the products are sold
wholesale out of the Atlanta
office with no local distribu

Sarasota. Starters, genera-
