exploited by urban capitalists
For there are no simple villagers
in America today, and they COM
mand precisely the same wage
rates that obtain in the bic
cities of their respective sections
of the country. Without going
into the numerous factors in
volved, I will ask you to accept
the results of reliable market
surveys which conclusively show
that unit labor costs are lower
in the country towns.
So we are now witnessing a
steady. consistently growing pro-
cesSion of factories OF all sorts
and sizes from city to country
town. and here remind YOU
again that this industrial mi
grafton is made possible by the
automobile. the same wonderful
contraption that began to make
the exodus desirable.)
We are also witnessing, al
though the evidence is not so
dramatic as a new factory. a
procession of specialists from
urban plants who are studying
new locations and making rec
concentrations. The very large
manufacturing companies have

Here we come to the second
source of the great push-the
sociological element--or the peo-

view OF the manufacturer, how

on their needs. desires and aspi-

not too surprisingly, on the eco

Frequently we meet after

and spend a few hours to-

pens that on occasion we
have met some very fine men

meetings. A very good friend
Of mine has come up with not

she was happily married and
who. unfortunately, was killed
