TOWN PLAZA BEING TORN UP “ ’~~*
... to make way for cotton mill addition
It's a Time of Change
In 116-Year-Old Trion
The winds of change are blowing across Trion—the
factory town which has served as Chattooga County’s in
dustrial hub since 1845.
Gigantic hammers, cranes, bulldozers and workmen
are busy tearing out concrete walks and curbs in the Plaza
area—making room for a two-story and basement addition
to the cotton mill.
Road machinery and fresh
dirt are still in evidence near
the place where the Chattooga
river and the old Highwav 27 in

WHAT IS
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
A "SHOPPER"
AND A NEWSPAPER?
In many communities, circular-type publications
known as "shoppers' have turned up. They include
little news and other services but they take the
merchant's dollar all the same. Sometimes, they
are erroneously called "newspapers".
BUT A REAL NEWSPAPER PROVIDES SERVICE!
It tells you what is happening at the school board
meetings, at civic club meetings, at Little League,
in court, in the churches, in the communities.
A newspaper knows it has a responsibility to the
public — and to the merchant. A "shopper" will
take on no such responsibility. Support your news
paper. Only your newspaper provides you with
service . . . HOW GOOD A NEWSPAPER YOU
HAVE DEPENDS ON HOW WELL YOU SUP
PORT IT.

Brick walls are rising in South
Trion across from Riegeldale
Tavern—a big shopping center
is going up here.
And there’s a hum of activity
inside the plants too—the Trion
Division of Riegel recently re
ceived a sl'/2 million govern
ment contract which will keep
people and machines busy dur
ing the normally slow summer
months.
While most places in Trion
are buzzing, there’s one place
where activity is slowly slacken
ing—it is The Trion Department

TRION BRIDGE WIDENED
. . . now open to traffic
1 Store.
i The store will be closed when
. the Triangle Shopping Center,
now under construction in South
, Trion, is completed this fall.
Some departments already are
. closed and others will be on a
gradual basis.
। Riegel announced sometime
i ago plans to go out of the retail
business (with the exception of
, a piece goods store in the new
center). The big two-story store
I structure will be used by the
mill.
Thus, the area around the
Trion “square” will become
strictly a manufacturing center.
The cotton mill addition will
provide 111,000 square feet of
extra space on its two floors and
in the basement. Plans call for
looms from the present No. 3
weave room to be located on the
first floor; for the cloth to be
transferred from the weave
room to the basement for in
spection; and for the second
floor to eventually be used for
winding and quilling filling. The
space in the present No. 3 weave
room will be used for an opening
room, freeing area in the ware
house for more cotton storage.
Plans call for the new building
to be finished around November
15.
Few if any additional em
ployes will be required initially
Trion General Manager Preston
David has announced. However,

some later date may call for
additional help.
Space in the big store building
will be used as a grey mill cloth
room, Mr. David said. The cloth
room is presently in a portion of
what was the glove mill.
The glove mill space may
eventually be used for an ex
pansion of the finishing plant,
Mr. David said, but there’s noth
ing definite now on such an ex
pansion.
Trion will lose only about half
of its little green park. The
western section is being torn
away to make room for the new
building, but the eastern half
will remain with its grass, trees,
benches and walks.
While “downtown Trion” be
comes a manufacturing center,
south Trion will become the
commercial center.
The Triangle Shopping Center
will house some 10 firms, includ
ing possibly the Trion Post Of
fice, and will have a large paved
parking area. It is scheduled for
completion in the early fall.
Housed at the center will be
branches of Hurley’s Food Cen
ter, Redford’s 5 and 10, and
Abney’s, as well as a Riegel piece
goods store, Horton Pharmacy, a
barber shop operated by Glenn
Hendrix, a hardware store oper
ated by Thomas L. Pickle of La-
Fayette, Joyce’s House of Flow
ers and McWhorter Jewelry.
Plans call also for the Trion
Post Office to be moved to the
center, but final details haven’t
been worked out.
Traffic between the manufac
turing and commercial centers
of Trion will be considerably
smoother now that the main
bridge crossing Chattooga river
has been widened.

And so, the winds of change—

It is perhaps because of this

of possible further expansions,
Trion Division General Manager
David said:
“We are always considering

And all Chattooga watches

"As Trion goes, so goes the
