The following is a quotation from a memo, dated April 15, 1959, and received Thursday morning by the office of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce. We quote four paragraphs: “The Swift Ohio Corporation, manufacturer of welding equipment and machine tools, has a plant in Michigan and one in Ohio that they would like to consolidate into one operation. This company will have to ' z ..jfn* l ' have financial assistance in Construction of a building. “The minimum requirements are about ten acres of land. They request factory space of 500 by 100 feet, pjus space for office and engineering of about 40 by 450 feet. They will need to be on a siding. They do not want to locate in a town that has municipal power. For best service they will need 2,000 KVA single phase; they will need three-phase service of 300 KVA’s. “They would want to move about 40 or 50 families into a community and all told they would have employment of about 250 people. They need skilled labor. They prefer to be able to heat the building with gas.” We can fill all these requirements except one. It’s too bad, isn’t it? Vote May 5 On Tuesday, May 5, the Democrats of Decatur will choose their candidate for mayor. Be sure to vote, if you are a Democrat. It would be a shame for a poor candidate to be nominated, just because you didn’t vote. Remember, if you are going to be absent from the city on that date on business, or if you are sick and confined to your home, you can vote an absent voter’s ballot. But be sure to apply as soon as possible, so that you will get to vote.
