Chamber of Commerce Plans A Monument to Peanut on 1-75

Description

"A giant 30-foot emblem saluting the peanut and 'the world's largest peanut shelling plant' has been proposed for location in a rest area north of Ashburn on the boundary of Interstate 75."

Second article clipping:
"...the first time architect Arthur Smith's drawing of the proposed monument which has a tower crowed with a giant peanut and a message calling attention to Turner County's contribution to peanut farming and processing."
...
"There would be no Turner County without the peanut farmer, and no peanut shelling plants without the peanut farmer, and we hope our people will always recognize just how important the peanut is to our way of life and to our very existence."

Chamber president: John R. Rogers
Architect: Arthur Smith Jr. (Ashburn native and Valdosta Architect).
