Colon}’ Members and Citizens.
We, as Directors of the Colony Co.,
and residents of the city of Fitzgerald,
are given to understand that the
agent of an outside corporation doing
business in Macon, lias made
statements to the effect that
they would give away ice to the con¬
sumer, but that they would ruin and
break up the business of the Lyle Ice
Co. The present ice war would seem
to indicate that the Acme Brewing
Co., of Macon, is determined to keep
their threat and ruin the almost first
manufacturing enterprise started in
our city.
The colony lias given this Ice Co.
the land they occupy and have prom¬
ised their support; therefore we ask
all citizens to stand by our home in¬
dustry, as it is simply a choice between
patronizing Macon or Fitzgerald.
The Lyle Ice Co. have invested sev¬
eral thousand dollars in their enter¬
prise and intend to put in bathing
pools and other improvements if they
receive the support of the people of
Fitzgerald. They have promised us,
and made statements to others, that
if they can receive the support of the
citizens and business men of our city
and colony, that they will hereafter
sell ice to the people of Fitzgerald at
a fair and reasonable reduction from
prices that ice sold at previous to
their starting the factory.
We therefore ask that all citizens
and members of the Colony interested
in the upbuilding of our city, give
their support to this industry and
thereby show to manufacturers and
capitalists that the people of Fitzger¬
ald believe in protecting their home
industries.
Respectfully,
Board of Directors
of Colony company,
TO MEMBERS OF THE COLONY.
As President of the Colony Com¬
pany, I-fulIy endorse the action of the
Board in requesting that our home
industries receive the full support of
the Colony. Unless we show a dispo¬
sition to support those factories that
may be located among ns. few, if any,
will ever come. I believe the only
way to secure industries to locate
among us is to guarantee them
our full support. Here we have an
example.
was
about and the general cry among onr
members was, if we could only get a
good supply of ice, it would be just
what we want. The ice plant came,
men had suflicent nerve to put the
plant in. Now comes a more wealthy
combine that makes beer their busi¬
ness and couples with it the sale of
ice. They crush the weak industries
because they are able to do so by giv¬
ing ice away. Now we ask, did they
give us ice before our factory was in
operation? Not much. We ask
further, would they give ice away if
our factory was to leave us? Not
much. Therefore, our little factory
stands between the Colony members
and the foreign contractor. lie com¬
pels them to lower prices or even give
their ice away to get rid of our first
little industry. Will our Colon}' mem¬
bers submit to such treatment? We
cannot see how they can afford to do
so. Men who have come among us to
aid us, to give work to our members
are the ones we should support. Such
men use the money they receive in
father improvements of our city in
aid of our workmen, wiiiie, on the
other hand, all money paid to foreign
institutions is taken away from us.
The citizens should, to a man, lend
their aid in support of a home insti¬
tution.
You may say, we will support the
ones who sell the cheapest. That is
short-sightedness. You may get it
cheap for a short time, but it will not
be the cheapest in the end. You may
say, competition is the life of trade.
That is so where competition arises
from institutions of our own city, but
where it is a question between home
and foreign institutions, it means
death to your home industries unless
you stand by them. We should do so
in this case, and in all cases help
those who have come among us to aid
and help us. I endorse the board’s
action and hope the whole colony will
do the same. P. H. Fitzgerald,
President Colony Co.
