Public Support Asked.
President Chas J. Haden of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce, in his
foreword in the route book, says:
"This book is intended rot only to
serve as a guide to travellers, but also
the even more important purpose of
inspiring the construction of highways
The road is the tie which binds town
with country, and upon the success of
this partnership, in great measure,
depends public prosperity
Cur Chamber has directed large
3hare of its energies toward bringing
together comparatively, community
with community, and county with
county in the building of good roads,
and we have obtained results which
encourage us to larger undertakings
I'VE ask the support of the people
Of Georgia, not only in carrying out
this work, but also join with us in 9th
er activities for the upbuilding Of Our
state. Among these is to encourage
the establishment in village, town and
city of warkets for food crops, of flour
mills, canning and other factories,
packing houses and cold storage
plants In general facilities for the
sale and conservation of varied pro-
ducts, and the growth of the live stock
industry. These give employment to
home people and keep within each
community large sums of money now
needlessly sent away. They set mon
ey flowing through the channels of
trade during spring and summer, rem
der farm mortgages practically unec-
essary, and enable the cotton grower
TO sell his products as a freeholder in
stead of under the stress of debt"
