Abstract:

The Gastonia Chamber of Commerce attempted to diversify its interest when it reached out to the community. It aired radio advertisements and added more vocational training to the public school curriculum. An industrial exposition was the biggest public outreach by the Gastonia Chamber of Commerce. The expo highlighted locally manufactured goods to demonstrate pride within the blue collar community of Gastonia and promoted further industrial growth and interests.
