As the artist sees it
V _
But, the artist has let his imagi
nation run wild. The Southern
Railway System does bring new
industries to the South. Not in
one piece on a flat car, however!
What actually happens is this...
We l:ave an Industrial Devel
opment Department staffed by
experts who know the South as
well as you know your own back
yard. They have the answers to
all questions concerning plant
sites, raw materials, labor, power,
fuel, water, climate, and trans
portation.
And they will gladly skip meals,
work all night and travel thou
sands of miles to bring new
industries to the Southland.
They get their “tips” about
prospective plants by keeping up
with the trend of business... by
checking industrial and financial
publications... by watching and
studying developments in all
parts of the country. Sometimes
the “tip” comes from folks living
in the South. And sometimes it
comes from the new industry
itself.
When the“tip”comes, the men
in our Industrial Development
Department swing into action.
And you can see the results of
their work in the many new
industries . . . 148 of them last
year alone... all along the 8,000-
mile line of the Southern Railway
System.
Why do we do it? Because
we know that the Southern can
prosper and progress only as the
territory served by it prospers
and progresses!
