I thank you for the copies of the BADIN BULLETIN, and for
your letter calling attention to the progress, method, and
splendid spirit of the Tallassee Power Company in dealing
with its colored employees.
Very sincerely yours

I thank you for the opportunity to visit BADIN, and see
the work of the Tallassee Power Company. To my human
way of thinking, the Tallassee Power Company offers great
opportunities to the working people of my race. This Com
pany offers good wages to the colored people, and the best
educational advantages that can be given in any place, the
schools being taught by an excellent faculty of teachers, with
Prof. B. G. Harris as principal.
Another great opportunity for our colored people at this
Plant is that the Company offers to sell them good homes
on easy installment plans. The recreation center for the
colored people at this great plant is another advantage in
favor of their going to BADIN,
I want to urge all colored people who are seeking work
to go to BADIN, N. C.; where the Tallassee Power Company
offers them great opportunities for development along all
lines of civic life.
Most respectfully

Yout7 attitude, as I see it in the first place, is to give the
Negro a square deal, as you feel any other people should
have. In the second place, you expect as a result more effi
cient work, which means greater productivity in your plant.
While the idea of producing aluminum may be the chief
end in mind, yet the means by which you are doing it may
serve as a very valuable demonstration to our country in
the so-called and much discussed race problem.
