A Breath of Fresh Air
for American Industry
Am erican industry is looking for a breath of fresh
air. And, increasingly, it's finding it in the country
side. That's partly because in the countryside there's
electric power, provided by Consumer-owned rural
electric systems, to turn the wheels of industry. And
the people who built and own the rural electrics are
there, too, helping provide local leadership and
manpower.
, It's a big job.
It means coordinating state and Federal programs
with rural needs. It means setting up job training
programs and improved community facilities. It
means consulting services for existing and newly
formed small businesses. It means imaginative plan
ning for new industries and new communities.
The fresh air that industry is finding in rural
America means progress and growth for all of us.
