It is a great occasion, most important. we confidently believe in the history of the city, for it marks the opening of a new and wonderful indus try, the manufacture here of fractional motors. We believe it will solve many problems for the company and we know it means much for our people. Heretofore we have been almost strictly a country town, depending; entirely upon the farm production. I Added to this now we will have a factory employing hundreds of men.. The G. E. has already brought to [ this city the foundry which will soon be operating with a large force of men and which promises to grow rap ( idly. We predict that within the next, i

census taking period this city will show increased growth of 100 per cent, meaning prosperity for our merchants, employment for oyr people and many improvements that will make this a better, bigger city. We extend to our visitors today the i hand of genuine welcome. The town is yours, officials and employes of the G. E. Help yourselves and we hope you like us so well you will tome many times. We believe that those things which help you will prove beneficial to us and vice versa. We want to cooperate with you. we, want your advice and assistance for
