Your Neighbors
We are always interested in having
good neighbors. We want people living
j'^next door and across the street with
whom we can be friendly, people with
whom we like to associate. But the
word neighbor has a broader meaning.
In a town the size of Badin, the word
neighbor includes everybody in the com
munity; and Badin will be a good place
in which to live exactly in proportion
to the number of good solid citizens we
have in the town.
If we could choose our own neighbors,
we would many times choose old friends,
people whom we knew on other jobs,
some of the “home folks;" and we can
now do this. The company has devised
a plan whereby we can get our old
friends for neighbors, and get paid for
it. It does not want men only, but good
men; and it is a hard proposition to go
into a strange community and hire good
men for a job like this.
In the first place, the man who is out
getting men for the company does not
know the men he hires, personally. He
has to depend on his judgment. In the
second place, he usually goes to the
larger cities, because that is the only
way he can get the number of men
needed. The kind of men that this
company wants are already working,
have steady jobs, and are not easily
reached by the labor agent.
Roughly speaking, the men coming to
Badin can be divided into three classes:
1. Men brought in on transportation.
2. Men who came of their own accord.
3. Men who came because some of
their friends had told them about the
work.
The best men are from the two latter
classes; but there are too few coming
this way. The company would like to
get more of them, and for this reason
has made a generous offer to men al
ready working here to help get their
friends here, too.
You are offered a double opportunity
—to choose your friends, and get paid
for it. All you have to do is to see the
Employment Department, and get started
right. How about it?

Welcome—Au Re voir
To our distinguished visitors from
Pittsburgh and New York, who were
here on the first and second of March,
we scarcely had much more than an
opportunity to say “Welcome,” and “We
hope to see you again,” and they were
gone. Some of us, busily engaged with
the “flu,” had not even the privilege of
a glimpse of them.
We trust, however, that this visit will
not be the last, and that our au revoir
will be a hope “to see you again” real
ized in the not distant future.
To some of our readers, a bit of infor
mation concerning these visitors may not
be unwelcome.
Mr. A. V. Davis is president of the
Aluminum Company of America, which
is now operating seventeen plants (of
• which Badin is one) in the United States,
Canada, and South America. It is hard
ly necessary to add that he is one of
the master minds in the world of big
business.
Mr. R. B. Mellon is one of the two
brothers who own and run the Mellon
National Bank, of Pittsburgh, one of the
great financial institutions of the na
tion.
Mr. Roy A. Hunt, vice-president in
charge of aluminum fabrication, is one
of the directors of the Company.
Mr. E. K. Davis, of the Aluminum
Company of America, is vice-pl'esident
in charge of sales.
Mr. J. W. Rickey, chief hydraulic engi
neer of the Aluminum Company of Amer
ica, is the man who planned the dam
at the “Narrows,” and also the Cheoah
dam. The Narrows dam alone is a
splendid achievement.
We are glad to see Mr. James Council
back on the job again, after a two weeks
siege with the flu. He informs us that
it has flown.
“WELCOME”
The Private Car, “New York,” which brought President Davis and his party to ISadin
Opportunity for Badin Boys
Professor Thorndike Savillo, who oc
cupies the chair of hydraulic engineer
ing, in the University of Noi'th Caro
lina, accompanied by several men of the
class in Waterpower Engineering, and
a number of seniors in Electrical and
Civil Engineering, recently visited
Badin. They were much impressed by
the magnitude and capacity of the hydro
electric development here.
The visit of these gentlemen from the
State University emphasizes an instruc
tive fact, viz.: that we have right here
in Badin the best advantages in the
world for practical education along cer
tain important and remunerative occu
pational lines. No college or university
shops and laboratories could possibly
equal the opportunities offered here for
