That the South considers New England the richest field in which to seek new industries is indicated by two half-page advertisements published in Boston newspapers recently. One is by the Alabama Power Co. . . . inviting New England textiles to that state. The other, published by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, invites New England industries to establish branch plants and distribution agencies in Atlanta.
