article a story that cried out to
all America, young man, 20
SOUTH"
The south, ant particularly the
southeast, Is a stction OF untold
opportunities to-day, and every
community Of Dixie Is on the verge
OF an unprecedented prosperity.
Since that Is true, can you wonder
that every city, every town and
every rural community about
which these community articles
are written Is pictured as being
the best?
You may visit a section OF south
Georgia tomorrow and know, from
what you see there, that you have
found the promised land. And III
tell you before you go that you
will find It just about that way in
south Georgia. But then on tho
next day go to north Georgia, to
one OF the CarOlinas, to Alabama
or TO Mississippi, or any one Of
the other communities that
might suggest to you throughout
the southeast, and everywhere you
VIII be SURPRISED at the progress
and development, the opportuni-
ties for doing the things that men
count worth doing, you will see on
every hand.
The south has come into it's
own, and The Atlanta Journals
slogan OF "Know the south and
let tho south know you" Is, very
strongly believe, materially aiding
those who are seeking new fields
TO lind the particular localities In
which they may best succeed I'm
the particular undertakings to
which they have set themselves.
THE CITY OF LAURENs
Laurens, the county seat of
Laurons county, is located very
near the center OF the county. 1t
Is city Of approximately 5000
people, and aside from being an
excellent business place, the CEN
ter OF one Of the richest agrl-
cultural districts in the state. It
Is a charming place in which to
live and rear family.
This county originally formed
par Of the old Ninety-six Dis
trict, but was lopned off and or
ganizcd as county In 1775. 1t
was named In honor Of that IA
nous South Carolina patriot,
Henry Laurens.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1919-05-14

renS now has are cotton mills,
glass factory, box and crate works,
foundry, laundry, creamery, sew
eral modern ginneries. cotton oil
mills, planning and lumber mills,
hydro-clectric plant and quite
few others of less Importance.
MORE INDUSTRIES WANTED
Laurens wants more industries,
wants large and small ones, and
the. citizens OF both the city ana
surrounding county are willing
and ready to cooperate in any
manner that they may be able TO
cooperate in the building of more
and more industrial plants in
Laurens.
Laurcns business men feel that
they have many inducements to
offer the newcomers. and listed
among the city's inducements
noted are ample railroad facilities
plenty OF sidetrack frontage,
cheap electric current, pure water,
plentiful supply OF labor, and
never any strikes or other labor
troubles. In addition to the ad-
vantages mentioned, the citizens
Of the city will lend every CO.
operation they can lend to any
new and legitimate enterprise OF
real worth to the community.
FIVE BANKS IN THE CITY OF
LAURENS
There are three national and
two state banks in the city Of
Laurcns, the national banks hav-
ing a combined capital OF two
hundred thousand dollars and the
state banks combined capital Of
a hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
These banks have played an
important part in tho develop
ment OF the city during the past
ten years, and they will. very
probably, play an even more i'm
portant part in its development
during the next few years.
In this connection, want to
specially mention young bank
er In LaurcnS, W. G. Lancaster,
known all over Iaurens county as
Billy Lancaster, Of the Enter
prise National bank. BILLY" Ian
LTlse bank for several years, and
he has not only cndcared himself
to the business men and farmers
OF the city and county, by his uni
form courtesy, but he has won the
confidence and admiration OF lit
orally thousands of the county's
best men. One of these days
lilly Lancaster is going to have
his own Dan.i-mcrely prediction
OF my Own-and when he does, tho
other banks in Laurcns arc going
to have to SHAKE off the last re-
naming ve8tiac Of tmc-worn meth.

a RAILROAD CENTER

Laurens Is somewhat Of a rail
road center. The Cha clcst0n and
Western Carolina railroad, from
Spartanburg to Augusta, passes
through Laurens. The city is the
northern terminus OF the Colum-
bia, Ncwberry and Laurcns rail
road, which forms an important
link In the Charleston and West
ern Carolina line from. Greenville,
via Laurens, to Charleston.
Good roads radiate in every di-
rection from the county seat, and
there Is not locality in the
county that canot be reached by
automobile over roads that are
easily travelled. The people OF the
county are not satisfied with their
roads, however, and movement Is
on foot now, and has every chance
of success, to build the best roads
in Laurens county that it is pos
sible to build.
AN iNDUSTRlAh CENTER
Laurens Is an Industrial center
Of no mean Importance. In fact,
there are fftcn different Industrial
plants in the city, that employ g.
900 people, and whose combined
weekly pay roll amounts to ten
thousand dollars more than
halfmillion dollars a year. Two
and a half million dollars are in
vested IN the city's industrial
plants.
