A A* 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.
