CARRIERS COLUMN
BY W. Horace
By w. Horace Garter

The weather sure has its effect
on businessmen in these agricul-
tural regions. When tobacco crops
are growing and there's just about
the right amount of rain and sun
shine. then businessmen are beam
ing right along with the farmers.
But when hot dry prolonged spells
set in. like the weather has been
since the middle of May, nothing
but long faces can be found in
Tabor City.
We all realize that our liveli-
hood is closely allied with farm
ing and when that is going wrong,
then the economy of every bust
ness is thrown away.
That's the basis Tor encouraging
additional industry to Tabor City.
Our little shirt and pajama plant
is operating now and will contin-
ue to add employees for several
weeks. But that alone is not

We must not sit idly by and hope
for continued divcrsifiCation. It
takes work and effort and civic
persons realize that.
But in our opinion. the next in
dustrial step made by Tabor City
should be along the agricultural
line. We have such good farmers
in the area and such good land TO
grow so many crops, that we need
a canning industry that could and
would put more money in the
hands of the farmer.
A canning industry serves a
two-fold purpose in our area.
There would be a weekly payroll
TO employees and the products
that were being canned would be
bought from local people also. 1t
would turn money loose in two
directions or at both ends and
virtually double the good that

would be done to local economy.

Local businessmen are in no
position to 60 after an
other industry that would cost
anywhere near the nearly 100000

buildings and the cost of establish
