On Prospects
K i n.j; * Mountain’s economic
ptospects for 1965 appear good,
i spot survey of area industrial
sts showed Wednesday
VVh« iher .1935 will he a good
business year in Kings Mountain
brought virtually similar opin
ions from yain manufacturers as
well as businessmen.
W. K Maun?y. Sr. of Mauncy
Mills is optimistic as well as
• ■cm; 40 Houser oi Sadie Mills,
lion Crimes of Phcnix Plant No.
1 <-f Burlington Industries anti
Tom Tate, secretary-treasurer of
Ho-me Savings & ,.g»an Associa
tion. among other leaders.
Mr. Houser said. "It looks bet
ter than a year ago. in fact busi
ness has lieen brisk and we are
hopeful it will continue and 1965
will he better titan 1964."
Most leaders shared the same
opinion that recent legislation
giving the textile industry one
price cat ton is the difference.
Before Congress passed the
one-price cotton legislation, it
was possible for foreign textile
industries t > uy American cot
ton at a lower price than could
business interests. The expan
sion in textile Industries in the
Carolinas is due to their ability
to buy cotton at an equitable
price, Mr. Houser believes. Mr.
Houser noted that this legisla
tion opened up buying that peo
ple had been holding I lack and
he hopes the two-year program
will be “a permanent tiling.” The
program, as set up. will expire
August 1. 1966.
Ucb F Mancr, president of ir.e
Chamber of Commerce, said:
"1965 is a bright new year and I
am confident it will he a good
one for mercantile, manufactur
ing and home construction in
Kings Mountain. Kings Mountain
business citizens have enjoyed <t
profitable year. We haw seen the
evidence of progress and are
pleased that K Mills has joined
our industrial family. I am opti
mistic that 1965 will lie the best
year in ihe history of Cleveland
County."
