L *) ' The reduced, spendable income caused by the
closing of Dark’s will be felt by local merchants,
David Waldrip, president of David Super Save
MH-"Ve Stores, Inc., said in answer to the survey
question.
a* . “Much of that income was spent right here in
Grandview,” he added.
Waldrip also pointed out high interest rates on
mortgage money and a housing shortage as
possible deterrents to a quick resolution of the
--u-. problem of bringing in a new industry.
mdEg J. W. Tackett who, with his wife, Faye, own
Eg and operate an appliance and hardware store
W".7 here, predicted that the closing (of Dark’s) will
•hurt local merchan. “Not only did Dark’s
Silk Flowers buy sugphes at our store but many
of the employees were steady customers," he
said.
Charles Hughes, Grandview real estate dealer
and owner of cafe and washateria, said Dark's
“was definitely an asset to Grandview.” Much
of the payroll was spent here, and everyone in
business in Grandview will feel a loss.
“I hope some either business can be put in here
to employ people and bring in a payroll,"
Hughes said.
Dark’s Silk Flowers began production in
Grandview in June, 1977. The closing of the
plant on September 3 was in no way a reflection
on local workers or the quality of their work,
according to Johnny R. Chapman, Plant '
Manager, who said he had no prior knowledge
of the plant’s closing.
The first he said he knew of it was when the
president of Dark’s announced to the local
employees that the plant was closing, effective
