The Cumberland Chamber of Commerce, led by Secretary P. W. Blake and the executive committee, has spent three months courting a large industry that would employ 2,000 workers and generate about 15 million dollars in annual business. A visit by the company’s president and general manager to Cumberland is planned for next week, with negotiations signaling strong interest and potential plans for a 15 acre site to house the workforce. If secured, Cumberland’s manufacturing and railroad prominence would advance significantly alongside the American-McKenna plant.
