Memphis Support Is
Requested For Big
Meat Packing Plant

Provided they have first raised a
capital of 81, 900, 900 for a Memphis
packing plant, the promoters of the
project want the Chamber of Com
merce and the city of Memphis to con-
tribute $50, 900 toward the expenses Of
operation. After the first $500, 900
stock has teen sold, the promoters will
expect the donation of a 20-acre site,

ment made by Joseph Newburger, vice.
president of the company, to a large

plant think is due them, for they are
in the project not to make money but
to build up the live stock industry in
the Memphis territory Inc increase the
industrial wealth and prosperity Of
Memphis. To show what other cities
have done to promote the establish
ment of packing plants, Mr., N~ewburger
cited Oklahoma City, which gave a
5000, 900 cash bonus to each of two
packing plants located there, with free
water and exemption from taxation for
five years.
Thornton Newsum, president of the
Memphis Meat Packing corporation,
told his audience. which was gathered
at luncheon at the chamber Thursday,
that the promoters of the plant were
taking no chances in planning their
plant and it's operation and had ar
ranged to secure the services Of one
Of the best meat packing experts in
America to start them off. This man
will be retained as permanent SUPER
intendent II he comes up to expecta-
tions.

Of stock will be completed in 60 days,
