Growth of industry or wealth in Carbondale area debated
A Southern Illinoisan letter argues that boosting local wealth matters more than solely increasing industry. It criticizes McNair Metal and Technical Tape for not delivering lasting health to the economy, urging local, well paid, locally owned enterprise alongside broader wealth growth. A rebuttal by Harry Weeks defends industrial gains, cites payrolls over 3 million dollars, and notes industry taxes fund roads, schools, and utilities while supporting a $90,000 fundraiser for Garnon Manufacturing Co.
