Clayton County -
Commissioners of “
Roads, Revenue FV& .
During the past five years (3 years as Chairman) I
have been privileged to serve as your Commissioner. Our
county has experienced rapid growth. We have encouraged
good industries to share with us the tax load for continued
improvements of our county. We have been successful in
locating a number of these industries, with many more
promised to establish here. A recent audit of county affairs
show, we have managed to improve our financial position
from a deficit of $92,968.06 to a surplus of $65,401.03 as of
December 31, 1959. These things have been made possible
by YOUR cooperation with YOUR governing body in a con
tinuing effort to serve all the people to the fullest extent.
We must be ever mindful that growth is not enough.
It must be healthy growth, if we are to derive the benefits
in future years of the labors put forth now.
Your vote and support will be appreciated in the forth
coming election on April 23, 1960.

The full measure of a man'’s devotion to his family is
best expressed by the forethought he demonstrates
in planning and protecting their future. By his life
insurance. By providing a will. And by selecting in
advance of need, while all the family can approve it,
a family cemetery lot where you may be assured of
permanent care. Perhaps you have taken the first
two steps and not the third. If so, act now. Some day
in the future your family will be forever grateful to
you.
