that it found Mayor Worth Hin

ing. J. F. Dalton, Director of In

Railroad, was complimentary in his
comments on the reprint of the
Zebulon Record feature, and prom
ised the railroad’s assistance in se
curing industry for Zebulon.
The reprints are being mailed
out by many Zebulon businesses
to out-of-state concerns with
which they correspond.
Mr. Dalton’s letter said in part:
“We feel that Zebulon is indeed a
very important community, and we
are accordingly interested in ren
dering every assistance within our
power to bring about developments
in your community. We desire that
you command our services at any
time, and it is suggested that if
and when you receive inquiries

The day before, the Intermediate

celebration by making a trip to

The Woodmen of the World
Camp is feting the Girl Scouts at
a wiener roast Wednesday eve

Troop will be guests also.
Girl Scouting gives girls an op

inquiries relate to sewing mills,
and similar textile operations.”
In citing requirements by the
larger plants, Mr. Dalton said,
“Still, large industries are inter
ested in a water supply and waste
material disposal. Some industries
are interested in a good supply
of well water, and still other re
quire a large supply of river wa- |
ter.”
The success the Town of Wen
dell experienced in attracting in
dustry by providing a building
was brought to mind by the rail
road man’s statement that “some j
of the communities in the state
have organized companies that are j
prepared to construct buildings
and lease to suitable tenants under
a long term lease on basis of li
quidating substantially the entire
investment during the initial
term, and at the same time yield
return sufficient to cover taxes, i
insurance, maintenance, and a fair
return on the capital invested.”
One of the goals desired by the
Zebulon Chamber of Commerce is
locating new business in this com
munity.
