NEIGHBORS -and partners —for more than twenty years. General Electric is proud of the contributions it has been able to make to Decatur’s progress — grateful for the contributions Decatur has made to General Electric. The Annual Street Fair and Agricultural Exhibit is a splendid example of the progressive spirit of this community. Next week thousands of people will come to Decatur to sec the exhibits and take part in the Fair—to learn more about the agricultural activities of this community. American agriculture and American industry together have built a great nation, and communities like Decatur where both these activities arc present arc doubly fortunate. Decatur’s G-E employees have played an important part in the progress of America.

Twenty years ago, when the Decatur Works of General Electric was founded, few electric home appliances were in use. Today 13,(MN),000 American families have electric refrigerators, 14,000,000 have washing machines, and millions of other motor-driven appliances arc helping to abolish the harder tasks around the home, the office, and the factory. No small part of the credit for this progress is due Decatur’s G-E employees. Because they have found ways to reduce the cost of small electric motors year after year, appliance prices have been steadily reduced, until today millions of people arc able to enjoy them. And the efforts of these employees today arc directed to the task of making it possible for still more millions of people to enjoy the comforts and conveniences electric appliances produce.
