A Tribute To Decatur’s Progress The Annual Street Fair and Agricultural Exhibit is a symbol of Decatur’s progress; an evidence of the civic spirit of its citizens. To make this big event possible hundreds of loyal citizens, among them many General Electric employees, have given unselfish support. The General Electric Company is proud in the knowledge that the active part taken by it’s Decatur employees in this civic affair is characteristic of General Electric employees everywhere. It is a creditable fact that in every community wherein General Electric Plants are located, its employees represent a valuable and progressive influence in the body of substantial citizenry actively engaged in all matters pertaining to civic progress. Decatur is no exception to the rule. • To its Decatur employees, and to all Decatur citizens as well, the General Electric Company extends the wish that the 1939 Street Fair be outstanding among this city’s long list of successful civic projects. v * GENERAL ELECTRIC
