Down in Georgia four years ago a group of New England
industrialists moved their machinery down in that state on account of the
cheaper labore They employed colored helpe

The first week all the colored people worked. They
earned more money and had more prosperity than they had ever experiencede
With this new-found wealth, the ma jority of the colored people went on a
spree, caroused and spent their money. They remained drunk and did not
return to work until they had spent every dime they possessede The factory
owners did not know what to do about ite The same group was allowed to
bien otter they had sobered up, and on the next occasion with their bounteous
pay checks they indulged in the same experience.

The New England industrialists were discouraged and were
ready to crate their machinery and move back to modest and thriving New
England.

By a mere coincident something happened to change the
Situatione A stockholder had a son wae wad graduated from either Harvard
or Yale, and who was sent down to take some kind of a job in the factory.

son was appointed manager of the company stores This was about the only place
they could find for this chape

The building was a long, low, shoe-box factory type of
building, termed an ugly. Few windows were in the structure, and these placed
in the upper part of the building. This young manager astounded the directors
by asking for an appropriation to fix up the building. Any one who is
accustomed to a company store knows that credit checks are punch-out cards,
and issued to the employee. No money is ever handled, and prices are

generally exorbitant because there is no competitione Plate glass windows
