Fourteen Teara Ago a Waste of Field and Wolani
Twelve years - Ago ..Recomin ended by Southern Railway
Engineers as the Site for Its Contemplated Shop Plant,
which bas been three times expanded, and govr of gigantio
proportions and still is far below" it prospective propor
tions, t ,
A great Car-Building Plant mnst sooner or later be erect
ed at Spencer to meet exigencies certain to arise.
A great Foundry will be a necessity - and . even now is a
sound economic proposition.- .
x
The steadily increasing volume of freight passing this
point will ere long demand far greater facilities than . now,
This means other and huge ' structural developnients at Spen
ter. . ,-ni
These inevitable additions when eonstructed and dperated
will swell the industrial population of Spencer to twice it
present numerical strength. (
Spencer will thus beeome a great center of industrial acti
vities. It will have an abundance of labor ready for. employ
ment in factories, mills and other industries where .the youth
of the town' can assist in the general effort of upbuilding.
Real Estate will advance : Investments will be made her
without fear of decline in values': manufacturers will seek
the eligible and available sites remaining.
There are unusual opportunities here now: there should bo
a line of manufacturing concerns stretching from ' Salisbury
te the Yadkin; and in due course of time there will be.
There is an agricultural country environing Spencer not
excelled in any other section of the State, The farmers of
Rowan are proverbial for thrift, in telligence and hospitality.
They are prosperous, they are progressive. Farmers from the
West and North and East who conie to this genial section
find better conditions than they left behind and they sue
eeed here.
"We invite investigation; we ask you to visit u3; we offer
you our fiordial coroperatiop, in securing homes, business, or
