Editor: i've been hearing and reading some about this "Operation Boot strap" thins to attract industry to western North Carolina. Now, I'm in favor of anything that will attract new business to this area because it mean a better living for everybody concerned and 1 don't suppose that "Operation Bootstrap" is ? bad idea at all. But, what I'm wondering about is this traveling trailer thing they are talking about rigging up to tour the country. I ain't bad a whole lot of experience with moving industries, but it seems to me there could be a better idea than a traveling trailer. Personally, I don't think I would be overly impressed with a trailer load of things made in Western North Carolina if I was going to undertake to move a business here. You could probably get to gether an interesting trailer load of rocks from Death Valley, but that don't mean anybody is going to move a business there. This director that is suppose to go along with the trailer is a good idea. There ain't nothing like personal contact. But I feel that this trailer thing might Just give the appearance of a traveling aide show. Couldn't this director be able to tell of and how pictures of pro ducts manufactured here. Strikes me as how a manufacturer who is considering moving his business to Western North Carolina will be more concerned with the labor situation and natural resources and I don't see how you are going to be able to across this with a trailer load of things made here.
