naneing industry in San Antonio,
May I J.
"Financing Industrial Develop
ment" was a forum headed bj
Frank A. Rothwell, industrial
manajfer for United '>« I ipe
Line Company of San Antonio.
The overall meeting was spon
sored by the South Texas and
try by adverti ing ill a in
Kle nationally distributed pub-
lication. Results were nil.
"Follow up a good lead with

visi-d The Seguin Industrial
Foundation ha - met with a high
degree of success in bringing
new industiy to the city.
Diiwussioti and examination of
San Antonio Chambers of Com
tinrce.
The financial forum wasted no
time in getting down to hard
facts, starting with the premise
that objectives of industry and
the cities that want industry
have more money as their com-
mon ol "dive.
A representative of one large
city reported that in 1957 his
city spent $30,000 to lure indus
records of industries which have
located in South Texas revealed
that few seek monetary help.
But they do expect not to be held
up on land prices and they de
maud fair and equitable tax con
siderntions. The Seguin Foun-
dation ha acquired acreage and
it is available to the reliable
manufacturer at fair pricea.
Many industries seeking to re
locate look for buildings to house
their plants. Some memliers of
the forum pointed out that a-
vailability of already erected
structures has been a point in
persuading it to locate.
Stressed above all else was
the point -don't try to mislead
a prospect, lie is going to learn
t Ik* truth anyhow. Give him
the facts in a good, tight, well-
arranged package.
