Abstract

Elizabethton, Tennessee
Anderson, Sherwood | May 1, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the status of Elizabethton, Tennessee. Here is a town not more than five years old. Already the buildings have that half-decrepit worn out look that makes so many American towns such disheartening places. There is a sense of cheapness, hurry, no care for the buildings in which men and women are to live and work. The premature aging of buildings in the U.S. is the saddest thing. It is obvious there has not been much nobility in Elizabethton. The girls there were underpaid, they were no organized, they had no power.
