when all the business men pull
together there is no estimating what
valuable results can be accomplished
for Montgomery" said an officer of the
Commercial and Industrial Association
yesterday. Last week this was
practically exemplified in a manner
which will result in the location of a
new SIS, 900 enterprise in Montgomery
within a very shorts time.
The Industrial Department of the
Western Railway of Alabama recently
secured the interest of successful
manufacturer of another Southern city.
He came to Montgomery with letters
to a bank, which introduced him to the
Commercial and Industrial Association.
The object of his visit was stated to
be the organization of a $4,000 stock
company and the removal of his plant
to Montgomery. Details were given
conferences with merchants were ar
ranged and in two hours the deal was
closed-and the plant will be removed
to Montgomery as early as possible
Amy further publicity to the matter
cannot be given at present, but IT
simply shows how unity of effort will
bring good things to Montgomery"
