THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1928 J. Q. GILKEY URGES LEGISLATURE TO ADVERTISE STATE Asks Appropriation for State j Agency, for Boosting North Carolina Re sources Marion, Dec. 17. —If North Caro lina is to realize fully upon the opportunities for development that are open in every part of the state, it must advertise its resources to the world, J. Q. Gilkey, Marion develop er and member of the state board of conservation and development, declared Thursday in advocating the appropriation of a fund by the forth coming general assembly for this purpose. Mr. Gilkey pointed out that many, if not most of the southern states, i have campaigns under way to at tract new industries, and that they are bringing satisfactory results. "Unfortunately," Mr. Gilkey con tinued, "we do not have a state-wide chamber of commerce for the pro motion of industrial growth and the | attraction of tourists. This makes it j still more imperative that some state agency undertake a campaign of ad vertising. ! "Although our state has enjoyed a great growth in industry during the ! past few years, there is no doubt but ' that it would have been much great er had we made provisions for ex ploiting still further our natural ad vantages. There is little doubt, on '.the other hand, that we have lost many new factories and mills because we have not had a central organiza tion properly equipped to meet com petition from elsewhere. "The fact that our neighbors are reaching out for tourists and fac tories should impress us with ~ the fact that we will have to do more to compete with them in landing the i proportion that should come our way. We need an organization to show prospective new industries that our state offers more and better op portunities than can be found else where and to follow up aftei they are interested and until they aie finally landed. "A fund of $50,000 per year has been suggested for this proposed program of state advertising, and al though it is small, this sum will be an investment that should return many times its total to the state. New industries and new settlers create new tax values and should aid gradually to lighten the individ ual burden. | "For the entire state to spend in exploiting her resources, $50,000 is a small amount, considerably less than a number of our larger and more progressive chambers of com merce in the larger cities of the state are expending for advertising their communities. i "We are about to spend $2,000,000 in the acquisition of lands for the Great Smoky Mountains National park from the money of the tax payers of the state of North Caro lina.- In order to reap the full bene fits from this great investment, we should keep constantly before the eyes of the world the wonderful scenery and attractions of that region. Likewise, the state has spent other millions of dollars on the construction of public improve ments, especially a system of un excelled paved roads. Full realiza tion of the benefits of these expen ditures demands that we capitalize on them and invite others to share them vi'th us and at the same time promoting the general welfare of the state by doing so."
