SMALL TOWN INDUSTRY
From unmistakable trend now observable, it appears
that the smaller cities and towns of the country are rapid
ly coming into their own in an industrial way. Many in
dustrial plants are seeking locations, not in the congest
centers of population, but in smaller communities advan
tageously located with respect to raw materials, trans
portation, electric power and a dependable labor supply.
One of the most striking examples of this movement
i$ noted in the recent announcement that 100,000 new cot
ton spindles will be installed by a single manufacturing
corporation in Alabama this summer. Instead of placing
all these spindles in one locality, they will be distributed
among 10 small towns, 10,000 spindles going to each.
This is only one of many similar movements of indus
trial establishments toward the smaller communities, but
it is the largest single movement of its kind so far an
nounced. It should give encouragement to any town, re
gardless of its size, where favorable conditions exist for
carrying on a manufacturing enterprise.
An industrial payroll is a valuable asset in supple
menting the resources of agricultural sections by giving
employment to surplus labor, creating a better market for
products of the farm and otherwise stimulating growth
and progress. Every community should make the most
of its opportunities for securing such payrolls.
It’s pretty well settled where the good will go. It
isn’t much of a question where the bad will wind up. But
what worries us is, what will be come of the' indifferent?
Some of our friends are such good fellows that we
can almost forgive them for having such fool notions
about religion and politics.
Beat your swords into plowshares and work instead
of fight; beat your hammer into a saw and saw instead of
knock.
Talk about efficiency! China can fight a revolution
and get settled before America can find out why she is in
Nicaragua!
Life’s most burning question is death.

Welding Revolutionizes Ford Car
r
ELECTRIC welding is one of the secrets of the
remarkable strength, durability and low cost
of the new Ford Model A car. And the story
back of the welding operations employed in the manu
facture of the new Ford is one of the wonder tales of
modern industry.
In his preparation for the new model, Henry Ford,
with his characteristic keenness, saw that welding
was not only the world's best assembly method, but
was the keystone on which rested the further devel
opment of the best manufacturing methods now in
use. Accordingly, Mr. Ford literally made his Detroit
plants the most remarkable welding laboratory in the
history of industry.
The above chart shows how welding has been
employed in the manufacture of the new Ford to
replace wherever possible the older methods of join
ing by the use of bolts and nuts. There are a total
of 1339 metal welding operations used in the making
of each new Ford car.
