WHAT VANDENBERG
SAYS u. S. CAN Do

Detroit, Aug. Ex-senator Arthur
H. Vandenberg, Michigan, Republi-
can, declared August IA that the
United States under an administra-
ton sympathetic to the return" of
free enterprise would pull itself "out
Of this economic depression in six
months"
Under such an administration, he
predicted, the United States would
become an $4,000, 100000 country in
terms of annual income.
The United States, he said, is head
ed for "either national bankruptcy
or national reputation or the equally
suicidal sin Of profligate initiation"
unless the present Administration
discontinues spending $4,000 a
minute while we take in only $4,000
a minute
'But make no mistake about my
fundamental attitude" he concluded.
Il am an incorrigible optimist for
our America I do not believe we are
inevitably committed to 100000
unemployed 1 do not believe the day
of economic sanity is DONE"

Industrial Survey Just Made
Shows Henderson's Industries
And Also A Surplus Of Labor

| liShed in the city and county.
Power and water rates are eX-
tremely low and information con-
cerning these follows in the report
neioW.
Summing up the above infor-
nation, together with that follow
Ig, Henderson is an ideal location
or industry. Labor is plentiful,
willing to work, of high type and
not unionized. HendersOn's location
IS one Of the best that can be found
lor an industrial location, being 10
Gated on the border of the Pied
mont plateau and the Coastal
Plain sections Of North Carolina,
only 20 miles from Virginn. Served
oy the mainline Of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway and branch line of
tne Southern Railway as well as all
Of the major trucking lines, Hen
derson offers fast overnight ship
ments to most eastern distribution
points. The industrial affairs de-
partment Of the Henderson Cham
Der OF Commerce is composed of
successful, civic-minded business
men, and is willing and anxious to
work in closes harmony with in
dustries. The secretary and a special
committee from the industrial de-
partment are glad to call on in
terested parties at any time and
present the advantages and assets
Of henderson.
Following is a brief summary of
the industrial survey of Vance coun-
ty compiled by the industrial de-
partment of the Chamber of Com
inerce:
Industrial Summary: Vance County
and Henderson, North Carolina.
Population (1938) total 1,167. Ur-
ban: 1876; rural: 25,291.
Physical Characteristics: 178,56O
acres. Located in northeast Piedmont
on border Of Coastal Plain and Pied
mont; slightly rolling; fertile.

Towns and Cities: County seat,
Henderson; Middleburg; Kittrell.
Agriculture (1935) Total farms g.
561. Total acres in farms, 142,O33.
Acres crop land harvested, 4O,32O.
Value of all farms, $4,786,265. C35).
Principal crops and values are: To-
bacco $685. ,208; corn $191, ,953; cot
ton $170,337; tame hay S55, ,493; sweet
potatoes $48,371. Total value of all
crops, $3,649,362.

is approximately 100000 acres or 81
percent of total land area More than
'Hn0O acres of forest land are in
farm woodlands. Principal merchant
able species by standing board feet
are as follows: Pine 21,25O,OOO; oak
2,500,000 and 1,250,000 mixed species.
Saw timber is accessible. Average Of
twelve sawmills operate in county
annually, producing about 100000
board feet of lumber.
Minerals: Large quantities of

manufacturers jute bagging and
ties, being one of the largest con-
Germs of that type in the world
Over half of their output is SOLD
in Memphis and beyond the Miss
issippi liver.
Z h American Agricultural
Chemical Company and the Ra-
leigh Granite Company are both
large employers of labor, using
Negro men largely in their work.
The Corbitt Truck Company
manufacturers of custom built
trucks and trailers, is the largest
truck manufacturer in the South
and handles large number OF or
ders each year, both for the 3tate
and Federal governments, as well as
for private concerns.
The Henderson Hangar Company,
manufacturer of plywood hangers,
etc, the Vance Mills, flour manu-
facturers, lumber companies and
several others as shown in the ac-
companying industrial survey, make
up the smaller industries OF Hen
derson, and while not The largest
users of labor, are an asset to the
industrial and business life of the
community.
The N. c. State Employment
Commission reports ,443 people in
their active file for Vance county
as of July, 1889. Of this number,
$40 are men and 603 are women.
Approximately 200 or over now
employed on WPA and other Fed
eral aid projects. These, Of course,
are subject to private employment
when opportunity for such employ
nlent is offered.
From the above figures, it is
easy to see that there is surplus
of labor in Vance county. This
a, ailable labor is over 80 per cent
native born, this county maintaining
the high average which the entire
State has for native born labor.
The city, county and State gov
ernments are industrially inclined
and there is no unfavorable indus
trial legislation Although industries
which carry on interstate com: cree
are subject to provisions of the Fed
cral Wage-hour legislation, although
prices and hours are we'll in ac-
;urdance with provisions set forth
4 he .aw.
The city tax rate is $1.6O per
hundred, double the county tax
rate Of 80 cents per hundred, with
a most nominal valuation Of all
With the exception of tobacco
factories, most of Henderson's in
dustries are located just on the
outside edge Of the corporate limits.
City and county officials are very
much interested in industrial ex-
pansion and are willing to cooper
ate fully with new industries, as
well as those which are now estab-

Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-08-31
By FRED M. ALLEN, JR.
Secretary of Henderson Chamber
of Commerce.

Shortly after the formation Of the
Henderson Chamber of Commerce,
slightly over a year ago, one of the
first departments of tina OrganiZa-
ticn to begin functioning i'm
mediately, and continuously since
that date, was the industrial af-
fairs department, headed by j. w.
Jenkins as chairman, and consisting
OF NJ. F. Legg, Joel T. Cheatham, R.
w. Bruin, c.. P. Tanner and Frank
Robards.
This committee has been eX-
tremely active during the past year,
and has been in constant contact
with industries particularly in the
north and northeast. According to
their last report made to the MEM
bership, they expect to culminate
at least one of their industrial con-
facts within the next 80 10 60 days,
bringing a new industry with a
large payroll to Henderson and
Vance county.
When this committee first began
making contact with outside in
dustries, the first need that mani
feSied itself was the dire need of an
1Il0llS IL 1d1 SQl Wy VI 44ClAlACA SOIl C1l1O
Vance county, which would show
III brief way the industries which
the county now has, their approx
mate number of employees, and
other matters Of concern to any in
dustry considering Henderson as a
site :'Or relocation.
The offices of the Chamber of
Commerce worked steadily for sew
eral weeks building up this indus
trial survey, which is the first that
has been drawn up for such usage
in the county Copies of the full
summary have been forwarded in
dustrial agents in many cities and
all industries which have mani
tested some interest in Vance coun-
ty or Henderson. Thinking that this
information might also be of in
terest to those living in the sec
ton, and knowing that such in
formation has not been presented
before, we are carrying con-
densed summary of this industrial
survey.
HenderSons industries are we'll
diversified, with the Henderson
and Harriet Cotton Mills and the
Carolina Bagging Company being
the largest single employers. The
Henderson and Harriet Cotton
Mills manufacture. in the main,
carded yards of various specifica-
tions; however, during the past six
months, practically all of their old
machinery has been discarded and
they are now equipped with the
latest designed machinery which
will enable them to obtain orders
over wider range.
