One of the best ways to give
Georgia's industrial develop

this future for our people. Just
reccnJy we saw an opportunity
for Georgia go into the neigh
boring State of Alabama. This
was the announcement of the
U. S. Rubber Company plant
which went to Opelika to take
advantage of their state-wide
industrial revenue certificate
act.
“We will call on the Legisla
ture at its next regular session
to pass laws to enable the Geor
gia Porta Authority to issue in
dustrial revenue certificates
throughout Georgia. This is the
fastest means of competing with
our neighboring states.”
Minter said there are “a great
many misconceptions in Geor
gia” about what effect indus
trial revenue certificates would
have on the tax digest. But
here, he said, is the way he
feels about it:
“Great things are stirring in
Georgia, but to stir is not
enough. We must move — and
this movement must be for
ward. Issuing industrial reve
nue certificates for the purpose
of creating employment is a
good investment, and it is now
a service demanded of our state
and local governments in or
der to meet competition.
“In our neighboring states
these certificates ate issued for
the construction and the equip
ping of manufacturing facili
ties. It is my desire that we do
this as rapidly as oossible.
These facilities should be the
property of the county where
they are situated.
“When these facilities are
paid for from income derived
from the operation of the fa
cility. the facility would be the
j property of the county or city
1 government and would contin
j ue to produce revenue for this
political subdivision.
“From the inception of this
i new industry, there would be
1 payrolls existing in the com-
lucky members present at the 1962 meeting at Salem Camp
Grounds. (See article and picture on Front Page)
। munity from which tax revenue
would be derived.”
In further emphasizing the
urgency of such a plan for the
state, the commerce director de
clared:
“During the past year we
have lost three such manufac
turing facilities to neighboring
states because of our inability
to issue industrial revenue cer
tificates on a state - wide level.”

Justice Dept.
Asked Io Check
Pulpwood Price
The Georgia Farm Bureau
Federation has asked the Unit
ed States Justice Department to
investigate pulpwood prices
being paid Georgia woodland
owners.
The 43,000 farm family mem
ber Georgia Farm Bureau made
the request in a letter to At
torney General Robert Ken
nedy. The Federation asked
that “A study or investigation
be made in Georgia as h a s
been done in Michigan and
Wisconsin.”
Dr. Harry L. Brown, Georgia
Farm Bureau President, Moun
tain City, said that “Farmer^
haw been quite concerned
about the price received for
pulpwood for several years.”
Brown said “Our members
have indicated that purchasers
pay practically the same price
for all pulpwood irrespective of
supply, demand, or quality.”
The farm organization re
quest took recognition of t h e
recent civil complaints filed
against five major paper and
pulp mills and five individuals
in the Michigan - Wisconsin
area. Filing the civil complaint
in that case was Joseph J.
O’Malley, an anti-trust officer i
with the Justice Department in
Washington.
Brown said “Farm Bureau is
vitally interested in the action
the U. S. Justice Department is ’
taking relative to the price re
ceived by producers of pulp- !
wood in the states of Michigan ’
and Wisconsin.”
Voting delegates in annual |
Convention of the Georgia Farm
Bureau Federation for several
years have expressed concern
about the price received for
pulpwood.
For the past two years the
delegates have taken the fol
lowing policy action: “We re- !
commend that a study be madel
on the price of pulpwood. This
would give producers a better
insight of the industry and a
knowledge of the spread be
tween prices paid and received
by manufacturers.”
Georgia is one of the nation’s
largest pine producing areas
and for thirteen years has out
ranked the eleven Southern
states.

ATLANTA — Apple growers

ALL WE CAN PROMISE YOU IS:
YOUR MONEYS WORTH
If we tell you that we are deliberately selling our merchan
dise at cost or at a loss — we are lying to you, and not to
be trusted.
Our taxes, Federal, local and state, runs into thou
sands of dollars each year.
Salaries, fuel, lights, insurance, rent, tools, equip
ment and supplies run into many thousands of dollars each
year.
With all of the above, only two Ford dealers of 108
in this territory has a lower per unit overhead.
This means that no dealer who pays city taxes, sal
aries, rents, etc., can sell a Ford cheaper than we can, and
still make a profit.
Any Ford car costs us the same amount of money
that every Ford dealer pays for the same car.
When you read an ad by ANY auto dealer saying
he is selling cars at wholesale — you read a LIE. There is
NO wholesale price on a new car except cost. So in con
clusion: ''All we can promise you is your money's worth —
and good Ford Service!"
