Georgia Weekly Press Association Party W
t Visits Ideal Cotton Mill at Atco
Georgia Editors One and All Express Themselves as Delighted
With Ideal Conditions Found in Mill, and Handsome Park- j
like Community. Short Story of Atco and its Mill
“Cherokee,” Georgia, and the section represented by the name, is well
understood by the people of the State, but it is not so w<ll known to persons
who are unfamiliar with the history of the Cherokee Indians, who were in
possession of the northwestern part of Georgia, as late as 1833-34.
All the territory lying north of the Chattahoochee river and reaching to
the Tennessee I'ne was the aboriginal home of the Cherokee tribe, and they
were not driven out at the point of the bayonet, as were the more warlike
Creeks.
The Cherokees were fondly attached to their native soil, and when they
were conducted to Indian Territory by United States soldiers in 1836, thou
sands perished on the highways by reason of heartbreak, as well as exposure
and privation.
Even while the Cherokees possessed the territory, the whites looked with
longing eyes on this beautiful scope of country. Various pioneers came in,
cast their lot with the red men and eventual!}’ assumed ownership of consid
erable quantities of land. A Scotchman, named Pettit, married a squaw and
built himself a house near the run of the creek, which still bears his name.
The Pettit house was still in evidence fifty years ago. One who travels on the
Western & Atlantic railroad very often will become familiar with Pettit's
Creek Bridge, which is almost within the suburbs of the growing city of Car
tersville. When the traveler crosces the bridge, if he will look out of the
car windows, on the left hand if he is going from Atlanta to Chattanooga, he
will discover a beautiful little town, which has sprung into being as if by
—

magic, and which has been laid out and built with such accuracy and elegance
that he will be delighted as well as surprised to see it.
This transformation scene would impress even the dullest minds and
many of us are now wondering why it was left to an enterprising capitalist,
E. L. McClain, of Greenfield, Ohio, to discover and appropriate what is con
ceded to be one of the most desirable factory sites in the Southern country,
now known as Atco, Bartow Co., Ga. The Western & Atlantic railroad runs
along the eastern limit of the company’s property. The Seaboard Air Lina
crosses the southwestern side, and the new Louisville & Nashville extension
is less than a mile away. Railroad connections and transportation facilities
are absolutely perfect to any point of the compass.
Perhaps the name, Atco. will bear a slight explanation before we go fur
ther in the description of the plant of The American Textile Company here
in "Cherokee,” Georgia. Atco is formed with the initials only of the name
expressed more fully. Thus abbreviated it makes a convenient cable address,
and American Textile Co. easily became Atco, for general as well as commer
cial purposes. The postoffice of Atco is fully established and the magic town,
has nothing cumbersome about itself, not even a name, that will be in the way.
The plant of The American Textile Co. consists of a 35,000 spindle cotton
mill, with over SOO automatic looms, together with all necessary supplemen
tary machinery, all of the most modern type, for the production of fine drills,
sheetings and dress duck.
The village consists of over one hlundred three, four, five and six-room cot
tages, being neither double nor two-story, but individual in character, no
two being alike. Each room in every cottage contains either a grate or pro
vision for a stove. All rooms are entered through hallways and not through
one another, thus insuring privacy. Each house is provided with running wa
ter near the kitchen door. In the rear of each lot is located a coal and wood
house of ample storage capacity.
The village streets and sidewalks are macadamized, as well as be’ng pro
vided with cement curbs and gutters. Each block is surrounded by a beau
tiful hedge of California privet, screening the rear yards. The streets are
well I’ghted with electricity.
Educational advantages are provided by the maintenance of a splendid
free school. Religious services are regularly carried on.
The Atco Stores Company, a corporation having no connection with the
mill, operates a large department store in the village, affording everything of
the best at moderate prices. There is also a modern barber shop with hot
and cold baths in connection.
The company also has provided a beautiful park. Large pastures with
flowing water are available for those desiring to keep stock. Ample provision
has been made for those wishing their own gardens.
The altitude is high, which means freedom from malaria. /The climate is
Ideal, never extremely hot or cold. The water is pure and wholesome, resi
dents having the choice of Cartersville city water or water from numerous
deep wells scattered throughout the village.
The casual visitor cannot help but be impressed by the cleanliness ap
parent on all sides. Rigid rules of sanitation are in effect, resulting in a state
of healthfulness seldom attained in any city or village.
We are informed that, notwithstanding the depression that has existed

THE AMERICAN TEXTILE COMPANY’S MILL.
in the textile industry during the past three years, this mill has run full t!m«
of ten hours per day. and that without reduction of pay in any department.
The 60»hour per week schedule was adopted at this mill three years before
the present law changing working hours from 66 to 60 hours per week was
introduced.
Hight in this connection we are also informed that this company has close
working relations with several large concerns in the North and East that
are large users of their product, thus placing them in a peculiarly fortunatq
position as to disposing of their product at all times.
It will certainly amply repay one for the time and trouble taken to visit,
this “Model Cotten Mill on£ Village.” (
