DAVIS MOTOR COMPANY 1517 Main St. Newberry, S. C. We’re Blowing Your Horn! How? By telling the rest of the nation . . . over and over again ... to “Look Ahead — Look South” for industrial opportunities. Month after month...year after year...we’re putting out hard-earned cash to buy millions of pages of adver tising in nationally-circulated publications. So that we can “sound off’ about the fast-growing Southland. So that we can place persuasive facts before the nation’s industrialists, businessmen, and financiers. “Letting people know’’ is paying off, too. Just look at the many busy new factories throughout the South. And more are on the way! We’re blowing your horn. Sure! But we know it’s our horn, too. Because the Southern Railway is part and parcel of the South. Because we also benefit when we help the territory we serve to grow and prosper. SOUTHERN President RAILWAY SYSTEM
