Past Evokes Cotton's Resurgence

Dawsonville, Ga.
The Atlanta City Council shortly thereafter adopted as its official emblem, a medallion that contained the mythical firebird, Phoenix. The emblem illustrated the region's resolve and commitment to rise from the ashes stronger than ever. This tough determination has carried forth through the generations and is evident today throughout the Southeast cotton industry.
Coincidentally, the first ever organized "International Conference of Cotton Growers and Manufacturers" was held Oct. 7-10, 1907 in Atlanta. This group also elected the Atlanta emblem for resurgence as its conference theme. Ironically, the first president elected to the newly formed consortium was Harvey Jordon, president of the Southern Cotton Growers Association.
