OFFERS THANKS
(Continued from Page One)
ham Manufacturing Company
has decided to move its Winston-
Salem plant to Elkin.
And that whereas the Presi
dent of Chatham Manufacturing
I Company, Thurmond Chatham,
| stated Monday to the Mayor and
i Board of Commissioners of the
iTown of Elkin that he did not
seek or ask any concession, spe
cial favor, or privileges from the
Town of Elkin because of the re
moval of its entire plant to Elkin,
but did request and express the
hope that the same conservative
form of government practiced for
the last several years would con
tinue, and that no extravagant
expenditures would be made on
the part of the Town so that the
taxes would remain reasonable
and, if possible, reduced. That
he had always appreciated the
spirit of cooperation enjoyed by
the Chatham Manufacturing
Company given by the citizens of
Elkin, and that this was the
main factor in their determina
tion to remove their plant to
Elkin.
And that whereas the hearts of
the citizens of Elkin have been
made to swell with gladness be
j cause of the decision of the Chat
ham Manufacturing Company to
move its entire plant to Elkin,
and that the Kiwanis Club in
Elkin hereby instructs and au
thorizes the Public Affairs Com
mittee to extend on behalf of the
Kiwanis Club its sincere appre
ciation to the Chatham Manu
facturing Company for the re
moval of its plant to Elkin, and

eration of its members to the
Chatham Manufacturing Com- j
pany in all of its undertakings
in recognition of its policies of
fairness, honesty and integrity.
