Better Business
Association Formed
ft <
For some time there has been fostered
in the minds of many prominent
South Carolina men the idea
that if the state Is to profit not only
from the iodine content of Hs produce
but aftso from many other virtues
the facts must be made known
to the -world.
The Hotter Business Association
has been formed for the sole, purpose
of bettering general business
conditions. in Spyth Carolina and of
raising a fund for*" a national advertising
camipaimif7 This association
\s a non-pw5fiy co-operative organization
and all funds will be used
for the purpose of promoting the business
interests of the state and will
be under the control of a board of
trustees.
" The follawnig is a list of a few of
the many prominent men who have
signified their approval of the association,
many of whom will serve as
trustees: Robert 8ma!ll, president,
South Carolina National Bank; R. G.
RhetJt, Jr., president, Peoples State
Bank; Dr. Wm. Weston, memlber Natural
Resources Commission; T. W.
Bennett, SoUiJ^iparolina Produce Association;
Noil O'Donnell, Sumter
capita Hot; L. C. Davis, editor of the
Times, Georgetown; W. W. Simoak,
prominent Walter bono publisher; Q.
S. Kennedy, well-known Wilfiston
'business man; Ashemeade F. Pringle,
president, Merchants Fertiliser Company;
JV If. Hammond, prominent
Columbia attorney and J. Ross HanaI
han, president, Planters Fertilizer
company.
For many years the iodine content
of South Carolina has been locally
known and- appreciated, but to date
no effective means have been presented
to maike this great feature
known to the nation. The far reaching
effect of the benefits to be derived
from the work of this association
will be greatly appreciated. New
mfcrkj ts for South Carolina products
will he opened and the existing markets
will be greatly enlarged. All
this will tend to /bring prosperity to
j the state and will reflect favorably
on every business in South Carolina.
It ifc also expected that this huge
project will be reflected in the attraction
of new business enterprises
to the state. They wild mean increased
population and employment;
increased payrolls and buying power;
increased prosperity and a natural
reduction of taxes. It will mean $
higher development of natural resources
and will bring to the state
the lasting prosperity to which it is
entitled.
Membership in this association will
state wide, no special section or
group of individuals will be favored.
Finances, for this huge undertaking
will bfe raised .by popular subscription
and will be administered by the
board of trustees. The fund will be
used solely to promote the state and
its resources to the utmost effectiveness.
The Better Business Association of
South Carolina has been formed
solely with the above pledge in mind.
It is determined to make South Carolina
iodine a 41buy-word" as well as a
"by-word" throughout the country.
With svjoih ideals and w^tSh the determination
apd cooperation of its members
there can (be no doiibt as to its
ultimate success. There is no question
as to the effectiveness of such'
a huge project when properly undertaken.
