/ Take a 60-acre farm with
black Angus cattle grazing its
hills, an ex-tackle with the Red
skins, a lumber merchant and
| a Notre Dame fan.
( It's an odd collection of as
sets, but that's the mix that
has produced fast-growing
industrial park in Rockville
Md, called Southlawn Office
and Industrial Center.
| Begun only four months ago
the park already has three
company buildings completed
a fourth due to open within
a month, and six other COM
panieS signed for plots of one
acre or larger.
The Southlawn project is of
interest because it represents
preSSures that have created %
other planned industrial parks
around Washington. South
lawn is so new that it WASH
even on the park map published
last March by the Metropoli-
tan Washington Board of
Trade.
What kind of companies are
in the parade to parks? Con-
slider the Goetz Co.. 34-year-
old Washington printing firm
at 1880 Twentieth street NV.
Three Acres Acquired
James C. Mothershead, Goetz
president, said the firm had
bought three acres of land at
the Maryland park for three
reasons: 1t needs more space;
the downtown tax situation for
that type of business "makes
it prohibitive" to stay put, and
the company now has many
customer in Montgomery
County.
GoetZ plans a minimum of
10000 square feet in its new
building, and ultimately 10000
if business warrants it. At the
present rate of growth, this is
not far off. Five years ago
Goetz had only IA employees.
Today its payroll numbers SIS
and annual sales are about
100000. 1t plans to keep fast
delivery operations downtown,
and move the rest to the Rock
vile site.
Southlawn is the brainchild
of John Tree Adams, a 800
pound former football player;
Roger w. Eisinger, jr., third
generation lumber merchant.
and John K. Kilbane, who is
also president of National
Leasing and Building Corp.
Both at NOtre Dame
Both Mr.. Kilbane and Mr..
Adams attended Notre Dame,
where the latter gained ma
tional attention, playing ALL
America in 1943. He later built
custom homes here in Ken

1000 shares and the new par
value is a big change from the
previous par value of 81 a
share.
The announcement gave no
reasons for the increased stock
authorization, but seasoned OBJ
servers in the financial district
said it would give directors
more leeway if they decide some
time in the future to declare
stock dividend or want to
finance acquisition of addi-
tional properties. Nothing is
planned at present, it is under
stood.
The new par value recognizes
the increasing value of the
company stock and wipes out
some more Of the marks left
by the depression of the 1930s.
The shares have had a check
cred career since they were
sold for $3.50 each back in the
1905. When hard times came
in 1880, they went through a
reverse split in which holders
received only one share for each
10 held previously. Then the
company staged a fine come
back under Mr.. Schaaff, and
the shares now are selling for
around $50. Dividends of 81
a share have been paid annually
for the last four years.

crates the Capital Garage at
