This campaign Is bound to bring a number of Inquiries and ?t is up to you people here In Washing ton to connect up with this project. Vou -ought to have very little trou ble In inducing factories to locate here. Everything in the way of geo graphical location and trinsporta tion facilities is In your favor. I went over a part of your city this afternoon and I can truthfully say that Washington Is as desirable a site for certain factories as there is to be found in tho United States. ~ "The best way to get in touch with some of the smaller factories, the kind yon want to get. Is to Insert advertisements In some of the trade papers, to acatter booklets and lit erature where they will do the most good; In short to do everything you can to put Washington, North Caro lina before the class pf people yoa want." Mr. Proffltt stated that with the vast amount of timber 'that goes to waste in this soctlon, a toy factory ought to prove a big success here, aa the row material could be obtained i?o cheaply.
