Congratulations, McMillen! We Are Proud of this Thriving Industry in Growing Decatur DECATUR was enthusiastic in 1933 when D. W. McMillen chose this city from among all other possible locations for the home of a new manufacturing enterprise he was starting. It was an occasion for rejoicing. That this faith was not unfounded is indicated by today’s results. In fact, the amazing development of the McMillen companies exceeded the expectations of pven the most optimistic. I * • ' KM Building after building went up, the latest addition being the new soya bean processing plant, completed just last month, and Decatur became know n as the home of the most modern feed plant in the United States — the only feed plant in the country with a sugar plant and soya bean operation in connection. McMillen products became nationally distributed. • WE ARE PLEASED THAT McMILLEN FOUND HERE WHAT OTHER INDUSTRIES HAVE FOUND; IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT — LOW OPERATING COSTS, HIGH GRADE LABOR, EXCEPTIONAL RAILROAD FACILITIES, IDEAL LIVING CONDITIONS AND OTHER SPLENDID ADVANTAGES. • » * In accord with Decatur’s spirit of civic helpfulness, we join in congratulating Mr. McMillen and in pledging our continued cooperation.
