LET’S WELCOME GENERAL ELECTRIC: — One of the greatest corporations of the world, the General Electric company. lias definitely decided to locate a factory in Decatur for the manufacture of fractional motors. The securing of this great industry means much to this community, it should be and will be the impetus for a progressive era that will put Decatur on the map. They will at once erect a modern building of not less than 50,000 square feet of floor space and will within a few months employ four or five hundred people. They promise in addition to this to increase the plant as rapidly as con-! ditions will warrant and it is freely! predicted that the plant here will be i trippled within a period of eghteen I months or two years. With such an institution of course conies many improvements, a bigger city plant, more homes, more business houses, other factories, a greater Decatur and with it conies many problems for the citizens of this i town. Right now we are to lie test- i ed. Are we big enough to handle the job? We have faith in our people and we are sure they will meet 'every requirement, forget personal!-j

'I ties, and boost for a uhtted community, Then we will get tome place. A number of other projects are already up. Some are good, some may not | materialize, but let's act wisely and j carefully and speedily, but let’s act. t we are sure the people here rec1 ognize the strength of the General Electric company and the power they have to tissisl Decatur. Whether they do or not depends on how we i meet them. Let's give them a real f welcome and a lasting one by assisti ing them to meet the conditions • which arise, with the least incenveni ence to them. If we do. the favors i thus shown will come back a hundred > fold. We believe that years of effort on the part of our splendid citizenship is about to show production and there is no reason why we should not progress. We have the location, the best county in the state, good railway and highway facilities, drainage, climate, everything needed to make a real city. Come on boys, let's go. We wish it was possible to thank every citizen wh oassisted in making possible the securing of the new industry for this city but to print the names of several thousand would Yequire so much space that the federal industry board would “call" us. Just take it for granted that your efforts are duly and truly appreciated. If you haven't subscribed to the industrial fund, do it today. The committee desire to raise an amount I sufficient that other matters sure to I come up soon, can be taken care of. i The funds will be accounted for to ! the last penny and Mr. S. Niblick. ; treasurer will make a report from time to time, that you may know what is being done. The way to help yourself is'to help the community and that’s all *0 are trying to do. Send in your contribution today. Congress has adjourned and the members returned home for a much needed rest. Would thev could continue there for they seem to be useless in Washington. They have de-

Wc are sure the community feels the . same way and will welcome any opportunity to serve these concerns which have done so much for this locality and which we sincerely hope will benefit as a result of the addition to this community of so high class an institution as the Gen-' eral Electric.
