HOSIERY MEL IS DISCUSSED Large Plant of The East Hunting l ocation. Plus Submitted and Discussed By Interested Citizens Mr. R- H. Wdotten, who is at the head of the Chamber of Com merce, called several of Milledge- vjfefs citizens together Monday morning, at the office -»f Mr. J. E. Kidd, to meet Mr. Robert Edmond, Industrial Representative of the Georgia Power Co., .and Mr. S. Bach elor, of F. S. Bachelor & Co., Inc., Real Estate and Industrial Financing Firm Mr. Wootten then submitted let ters ho had received, which set forth the fact that a large hosiery concern of the East was hunting a location in the South for a large plant to be valued at $3,750,000 dollars, with an annual payroll of $150,000, and the conditins upon wfcich this plant naming the amount of local capital could he secured for Milledgeville, which would have to be invested. Dr. J. E. Kidd, who is deeply inter ested in aiding in securing the loca tion of manufacturing plants in the city, gave the visitors the informa tion fo what it was desired to do to interest the people here in the move ment. und stated that there were sev eral desirable sites available, and told of the advantages offered by the city. Messrs. Bachelor and Edmond discussed the matter freely and open ly as to how the local stock might be financed, and promised every assist ance in carrying out plans which were formulated. There will be other information to submit to the public at an early date, which should arouse interest and en thusiasm in the city. There is one thing our people should realize, and that is an oppor tunity is knocking at our door, and that the location of a manufactur ing plant here of the proportions proposed would mean a great increase in the value of taxable property, *a large payroll, and an addition of many citizens. That the only oppor tunity the city now has to take a forward step is to secure manufactur ing enterprises. There is one fact certain and that is th* manufacturing concerns of the East and North are turning towards the South, and that a new* era is dav ning for this section. If one plart could be secured it can be safely counted that others would fol low.
