Trvon Boy Scouts paid a visit to
the Tryon Town Council meeting
Monday night as part of their
civics work, and sat through the
entire session. They were James
Arledge, Herbert Edwards and
Joe Lewellyn. Mayor F. P. Bacon,
a pioneer Scooter of Tryon and
for years chairman of the Polk
County Boy Scout organization,
welcomed the visiting Scouts and

part in civic affairs when
they became men and would sit in

WORK PROGRESSING *
AT COLUMBUS MILLS
Columbus Mills, Inc., is the
name of the firm to open soon in
the old cotton and silk mill build
ing in Columbus. Charles Ram
sey, th*e superintendent, has been
here for sometime supervising the
installation of machinery.
The products of the mill will
be narrow fabrics. To the aver
age layman that doesn’t mean
anything, so a reporter of The
Bul’etin had- to ask Mr. Ramsey
for some details. He unbuttoned
his coat and showed the pretty
colored cloth label giving name of
the suit, etc. “We make1 such
things as that’’, he said, “and a
variety of woven cotton and rayon
trimmings for upholstery or any
thing that needs a narrow cloth
border. The mill will make nothing
wider than two inches.” Mr. Ram
sev said he ho^ed to emnloy about
100 pooole within a year. One of
his problems now is the housing
situation. He will have to look
for a house himself this spring.
At present he and Mrs. Ramsey
are ocmmying the home of Mrs.
C. W. Morgan in Tryon. Anyone
having a room or apartment or
house to rent for those who will
want to work in the mill mav
notify Mr. Ram«ev in care of
Columbus Mills, Columbus, N. C.
