First Logical Stop
The first logical step in at-
tempting to lure new industry
to an area is to recognize the
problems associated with at-
! trading industry. As a bare
minimum, it must be recogniz-
ed that (1 ) competition is
kegji everywhere; (2) -not all
industries are looking for the
DIAL $-2233
There has been considerable
stress of late placed upon the
desire of industry to move
from the big population centers
of the East into the South and
Southwest, particularly.
This is a major step in
itself, when it’s realized that
one out of six persons in the
LTnited States lives within 250
miles of New York City and
highway networks there per-
mit low inventories and low
freight rates.
Look for Specific*
It is not necessarily the
lack of space in that area, eith-
er, for there are many good
manufacturing sites remaining
less than 50 miles from the
heart of that area.

NEARING COMPLETION — New church construction in
Sulphur Springs in the past 18 months has been a major con-
tributing factor to the increase in building valuations here.
Now nearing completion at the corner of Pampa and South
League is a new church and education building for the Church
of the Nazarene. Also under construction currently is an
educational wing for the Calvary Baptist Church. (Staff

looking for specifics.
When vigorous state
agencies and groups such as
exists in Texas are successful
in drawing attention to the
area, however, the burden
shifts to the local communities
in competing for the firm.
What are the firms looking

even pleasant weather. But
more.
Condition* Examined
J. Kearney Brim, president
of the Hopkins County Cham-
ber of Commerce and one of
the men actively engaged in
the most recent contacts with
industrial firms,. noted not
long ago:
‘‘First, a company wants to
know the utility situation, what
municipal services are avail-
able, the tux rates. They want
a look at our schools and our
churches and at segregation
and integration.
‘‘They look at construction
costs and the labor picture.
Brim added that construction
rates, bank deposits and the
general business condition of
a community are closely exam-
ined.
in the area.
Schols, too, are a lure for
the children of company em-
ployes who will be moving in
with a new firm.
The men that must be sold
on locating in an area are
corporation directors — not
the employes and generally not
the stockholders.
When a director weighs the
advantages and disadvantages
of locating in a new area, he
must consider personal taxes,
living conditions and other
advantages for him or for the
company employes as well as
the factors affecting his man-
ufacturing operations.
