Volunteer State" but is "Patri-
otto State" as well, and he urges
the people to exercise, in a sub.
stantial way. some Of their patriot.
ism by assisting and encouraging
the manufacturing industries Of
Tennessee, pointing to the fact that
the encouragement OF manufactur.
ing industries is really Of more
benefit to the people than to those
whose money is invested, He also
calls attention to the fact that
considerable portion OF the revenue
which goes to maintain the State
government is derived from taxes
paid by the manufacturing indus
tries and every dollar spent for
goods manufactured IN Tennessee
means that certain percentage Of
II finds its way into the Golfers ni
the State, and eventually comes
back to the people through the var.
ious benefits which the State offers
her citizens.
A committee will be appointed
in each manufacturing town in the
State for the purpose Of working up
