Greater Georgia.
Hearty endorsement of the
.Georgia Chamber of Commerce’s
plan to wage a national campaign
for a “Greater Georgia,” was giv
en the body at a luncheon of a
score of Atlanta’s most influential
citizens, who agreed not only to
supDort it morally, but to give fi
nancial aid as well.
The Georgia chamber plans to
inaugurate a campaign immediate
ly to raise $12,000 from the state
at large, in order to tinance a
much larger campaign later. Aft
er these two campaigns are finish
ed, several bureaus will be estab
lished, plans for which have al
ready been drawn, and which will
systematize the advertising and
exploiting of Georgia and Georgia
products.
W. J. Rudland, who is general
secretary of the body, explained
that if Georgia did not advertise
herself all over the country, she
would not reap her share of the
benefits arising from the era of
reconstruction which is now fac
ing the country.
“Other states are advertising,”
said Mr. Rudland, “and we must
also make Georgia and Georgia’s
resources known over the country
if we are to share in the growth
and prosperity which is coming.”
As soon as the financial cam
paigns are concluded, the chamber
will establish bureaus of county
councils, agriculture, immigration,
resources, industries and highway
systems. In charge of each of
these bureaus will be a man thor
oughly competent to handle this
particular subject, and associated
with him will be experts in their
line.
The county council plan has al
ready been started, and the suc
cess obtained has been very grati
fying. Although the campaign to
establish in every county in the
state a council of the state body
has been in progress but a few
weeks, over ten counties have
been formed into county councils,
not a single county which has
been invited to form a council has
rejected the plan.
Every county in the state will
be visited before the campaign
ends, it being the idea of the
chamber to put a number of more
organizers in the field to hasten
the work of forming county coun
cils in every county.
This olan has received a hearty
endorsement of a number of the
state’s most influential citizens.
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey has
written the chamber a personal
letter, commending them for the
plan and urging every county in
the state to become affiliated with
the state chamber; others have
also given their approval to the
plan, urging that the counties
adopt it.
