Atlanta Chamber Thanked for Help
Fine New Motorola Facility
Now Operating in Forest Park
Another new industrial facility in the Atlanta metro
politan area, an office building and distribution center for
Motorola Communications & Electronics, Inc., officially
opened Sunday, January 20th. An open house for employ
ees’ families, guest and civic officials marked the occasion
at the new plant, located in the South Expressway Indus-
trial Park, Forest Park. ,
Greatly Increased use of elec- [
tronic products in the South
east, encouraged by the expan
sion of industry in the area, is [
the reason why the Chicago-1
based company established a ’
full scale distribution center
here, according to Bernard T.
Olson, Motorola Vice President
and Area Manager.
The company worked closely
with the Forward Atlanta Pro- [
gram while searching for its
plant location. "The assistance
rendered to us by the Industrial
Bureau of the Atlanta Chamber
was Invaluable to us during our
initial work in Atlanta,” said
Olson. "We are very apprecia
tive of it."
“The Forward Atlanta Pro
gram is pleased to have partici
pated with Motorola and local
realtors and developers in lo
cating this fine facility in At
lanta.” E. D. Smith. President of
the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce and Chairman of the
Atlanta Program, said.
“It is to such modern-day in
dustry as Motorola in the field
of electronics and communica
tions that much of the efforts
of the program are directed.
“Motorola’s location here
along with other companies
such as Electronic Wholesalers,
Theta Electronics, and Litton
Industries is proof that Atlanta
is moving into the electronic
age."
The new 12,000 square foot
building serves as sales-service
administrative headquarters of
the company’s industrial elec
tronic activities in the South
east. Two-way mobile radio,
closed circuit television and

J. I. Pritchett to Head
Union Bag-Camp Plant
I
J. I. Pritchett, southeastern regional sales manager
for the container division of Union Bag-Camp Paper Cor
poration, will establish his headquarters at the company’s
I new multi-million dollar corrugated box plant being con-
structed in Forest Park.
Mr. Pritchett said the new
location will enable him to
maintain closer contact with
the important markets of
(Greater Atlanta. He added that
[Atlanta’s strategic location at
[the heart of the industrial
southeastern region provides
I him with more direct communi
: cation with the firm’s sales op-
I erations throughout the area,
i Mr. Pritchett joined Union-
Camp in 1959, when his previous
| affiliation, the Highland Con
■ tainer Co., was merged into the
■ Union-Camp organization. He
had been with Highland Con
tainer since 1947.
A native of Whitmell, Pittsyl
[ vania County, Va„ Mr. Pritchett
attended Virginia Military In
jstiute and served in the Infan
try during World War I. He
I lives with his wife Margaret at
3060 Pharr Court in Atlanta. A
[ married daughter, Mrs. William
| J. Day, lives in Scottsdale, Ariz.,
I and her sister, Mrs. David E.
i Watson, resides in Garden
[ terns are the principal product
[ lines for the organization, which
is the nation’s largest manufac
turer of industrial communica-
! lions equipment.
In discussing the tremendous
growth in the use of electronic
[ equipment by public safety,
public works and general busi
[ ness organizations in recent
' years, Mr. Olson said, “During
i the past five years, the number
of two-way-mobile radios in use
has grown 700,000 to 1.700,000.
Expanded use of two-way-radio
[ in the Southeast has been espe-
I daily significant among small
sales-service equipment firms.
Public safety organizations,
especially police departments,
are also making greater use of
modern communications equip
ment."
About 45 management, engi
neering, sales and administra
tive personnel are now employed
at the new plant, which also
serves as the parts distribution
center for the Southeast. The
new building was constructed by
the McDonough Construction
Company, Atlanta.
