THRIVING INDUSTRIAL- 06
AGRICULTURAL AREA
Newnan, Coweta County Seat, is one of the richest cities,
per capita, in the United States and has one of the highest
rated school systems. It is a showplace of fine homes
painstakingly cared for—both antebellum and modern.
The center of a rich agricultural section, Coweta County
has 37 industrial plants including 6 giant cotton mills,
and rayon, latex and metalworking plants. Newnan has
given Georgia two distinguished governors, William
Atkinson and Ellis Amall.
In Coweta County and throughout Georgia, the
U. S. Brewers Foundation works constantly to assure
the sale of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly condi
tions. Believing that strict law enforcement serves the
best interest of the people of Georgia, the Foundation
stresses close cooperation with the Armed Forces, law
enforcement and governing officials in its continuing
"'self-regulation” program.
