Mr. Roy W. Mann
The Best Manufacturing Company
Menlo, Georgia 30731

Dear Mr. Mann:

Reference is made to your letter of January 24 and Mayor Allen's reply
of January 28.

We are most interested in your offer to establish a subsidiary plant in
Atlanta. Obviously, with 38% of our families in the Model Cities area
headed by a female and the tight labor market for these people, your
operation would be a most significant contribution of mutual benefit.

We have training funds available, however, their use for training power
sewing machine operators is, at the present, a subject of controversy.
We are hopeful of a ruling in our favor.

In the meantime it would be helpful if you would provide us the following
information for planning purposes:

Space requirements - floor stress, dock facilities

Power requirements

Location, ie. rail access and/or street

Parking

Desires for shift work

Wage scales

Estimate of training time assuming relatively low educational
achievement and lack of experience

8. Type machines on which to betrained,

AION b WN

Again, we appreciate your interest in locating a site in Atlanta.
Sincerely,
/s/ Dan Sweat
