[ 3 It may beé that the amazing and remarkable change in the public riewpoint of, Canton, among many ther things, is due somewhat to A. T. Greenwood, Managing Secretary f the above mentioned Chamber of "ommerce. He came to the work diâ€" ‘ect from store management in one f the largest merchandising organiâ€" zations in the United States. In many ~cities I have found. a feeling against what the people call "absentee ownership." Canton seems to think that the Internationa) Harâ€" vester plant is an integral part of itself even though the ownership liés "I believe that the general spirit of good will and coâ€"operation between the people of Canton and its indusâ€" tries, Canton‘s new â€" activities and energy in public things is very largeâ€" ly due to its Chamber of Commerce," said C. B. Reed, superintendent of the plow works. "There was a time when things were much more diffiâ€" cult." in Chicago. When Cyrus McCormick, Jr., viceâ€"president in charge of manâ€" afacturing, came down a few weeks ago he found himself a citizen. The company has an expansion plan which calls for an expenditure of $400,000 in Canton in three years. Recently it asked the Canton City Board to close three blocks of public street to permit it to go on with its building program. It was done, almost instantly. Canton, I was told, coâ€"opâ€" erates with its business institutions, confident that its industriee are â€"_ Origin of Plow Works ‘Way back in 1842 a New England blacksmith, William Parlin, made his first plow in Canton. It later became the Parlin & Orendorff plow works and today the P. & 0. plow works of the International Harvester company. Its annual business is around $2,300,â€" 000. It covers four | square â€" blocks and employs 1,200 men. (It makes 150,000 farm implements a year of which 100,000 are plows.. ‘ 4 , _ Canton this year wanted $15,000 so that everything might be free and goodâ€"fellowship r«iqn at its centenâ€" nial. It got it. Canton‘decided that it wanted $5,000 for its Y., W. C. A. and $20,000 for its Y. M. C. A. It got it. Canton decided that it wanted a 108 acre park, an eightéenâ€"gcre athletic field with football ground, a baseâ€" ball diamond, a fine swimming pool «of concrete, a wading pool, a park house, â€" shrubbery and a plate set apart for a gun club. It got them all, ‘Canton decided (that it wanted more paving. So it got, this summer, 83 blocks of concrete at a cost of $250,000. *% Col. B. M. Chipperfield, who has been active in "selling‘" the people of Canton on the idea that parks and playgrounds and swimming pools are investments in ‘practical business makes comment : i ' : New and Better Way L o% I do not hope here to be able to record all the : things that have brought about this new +Canton. I would not want to criticise those pioneers of a past era or question their motives or purposes. But I do want to say that the men of Canton: have found a newer and better way. It is important to record that Canâ€" ton, after a hundred years, has had an amazing awakening. / , Fresh paint, newly turned earth, bright concrete, woodwork that still smells of the forest. I found them on evéry turn. Something seems Jo have come over Canton. Only organization and unity of purpose could do a thing like that. I sought to find out why. Could it be possible, 1 asked mys, self, that this city had plg)dded along for a century, working individually, pegging away, eachâ€"manâ€"forâ€"himself, expanding slowly and with cirecumâ€" scribed limitsâ€"then suddenly to start to bloom? It didn‘t. seem possible. . But nowhere have I found a story ofâ€"greater human interest or one that I . believe will be of wider inspiraâ€" tional"value than the story I have found in Canton. I seem to have found an epoch of the human mind; a revelation of what a change can be wrought with united effort. j Hundred Years Old > f Canton was one hundred years old this year. The city climaxed its cenâ€" tennial in August with a threeâ€"day celebration. But as I rode about this hundred year old city of 12,000 people today I noted that almost alt of: the really worthâ€"while . public things showed amazing newness, When I sit down to write the story of Canton I find that I have at hand some ‘very remarkable facts.
