We are economic gardeners.I recently read a religious

passage that suggested onecould not force spiritual things. The author proposed that such words as compel, coerce, constrain, pressure, and demand will not work with spir-itual matters.

So it is with business. We can no more force a business community to be successful than compelling a bean to sprout or an egg to hatch before its time. As economic gar-deners in Madison County it is our job to cultivate a commercial cli-mate that fosters, nourishes, andprotects business growth — not a climate that constrains it.

This means working with local and state officials to promote prac-tices and programs that stimulate sustainable growth. It means con-necting industry leaders to entre-preneurs, creating an arena of ideas, and proactively communicat-ing value. It means making a joyful noise about our community. Eco-nomic gardening means cultivatingthe potential of Madison County and its region by serving the 5,000-plus locally-owned businesses — aswell as supporting the rising gener-ation of business leaders — and assisting them in unleashing their potential ... one by one.

Like all expert gardeners, weneed to prepare our soil to bear thefruit of success. We have a plan.

sow the seeds of success with thefollowing 10 objectives:

❙ Teach 72 high school studentsthe process of establishing a busi-ness, social movement, or enter-prise through the Young Entrepre-neurs Academy with the goal of launching 10 new businesses.

❙ Formalize the public policy committee and publish six public policy statements supporting thevoice of the Madison County busi-ness community.

❙ Provide Student2Pro compli-mentary membership to 1,000 col-lege students from AU, Purdue, Ivy Tech and Harrison College.

Randy Good is not simply enamored with chocolate and icecream, he is captivated by every aspect of the business. He hasinvented recipes, fashioned con-fections, crafted business plans,packaged and marketed prod-ucts and even constructedGood’s Candy Shop with his owntwo hands.

“The only thing I don’t likeabout my job is that I can’t behere 24 hours a day,” said Good,sitting in his office as the smellof chocolate wafted through theair. “Every aspect of business isinvolved in this company —manufacturing a product fromscratch to packaging to retail.”

While Good had the fortune of growing up in the family busi-ness of tasty treats, he really took the idea to the next level when hepurchased the company from hisparents in 1992. Various family members had owned candy shops, but only as hobbies or second incomes. While they were only open half of each year,Good saw potential for a success-ful full-time venture.

“All chocolate businesses aredriven by the holidays, and therearen’t any holidays in thehot-weather months,” heexplained. “The only thing morepopular than chocolate is icecream. When the holiday trafficlessens, the ice cream trafficpicks up.”

By building the ice cream par-lor inside the store, Good hasshored up the weak months andhas been able to create a thrivingbusiness.

“We sell a lot of chocolateonline, but the lion’s share of our business walks in the front door,”he said. “People have a hard timegrasping the fact that enoughpeople pull into our front parkinglot to support us. There is this

idea that people in Anderson won’t support a local business. It’s not true. People have been very good to us for 30 years.”

It’s still a family business. Ran-dy’s son, Jason, is the production manager, and his oldest grand-son, Mason Good, has been working in the shop since age 8. Teaching his descendants the lessons he’s learned, Good is quick to attribute all he has to simple hard work.

Being recognized for his efforts with the Small Business of the Year Award from the

Chamber of Commerce was a touching moment for Good.

“When you live and breatheand invest in something, andthen your contemporaries noticeand recognize you for it, it is very moving,” he said. “I’m not formal-ly educated, I just worked hard. Iam living proof that hard work pays off.”

Hard work blurs into play asthe community events at Good’sCandy Shop have become a monthly extravaganza. Crowdsline up to taste the free samplesand engage in lively conversa-

tion. One event drew 1,400 visi-tors. Good happily hustles with ice cream scoop in hand.

“It’s been fantastic,” he said. “People love it. We love it. I live off the rule of reciprocity. All the events are free, and all of the samples are free. Because I do that, people reciprocate and sup-port the business.”

And, of course, the candy guru also lives by one more rule:

“If you don’t eat good choco-late and ice cream, you won’t live any longer – it will just feel like it.”

A fluke led to the creation of a business — a business so suc-cessful that it was namedEmerging Business of the Year for 2011 by the Madison County Chamber. A simple request tosecure a new phone system for a building prompted CameronWeeks and friend, BrackenFields, to create one.

“Buying the phone systemwas cumbersome and expen-sive,” said Weeks, CEO of Fath-om Voice. “We started thinkingthat it should be easier than that,so we took a couple of weeksand built our own system.”

The duo had not even gradu-ated from Purdue University yet. Weeks was studying com-puter interface technology, andFields was majoring in electricalengineering.

The group that used their product agreed to continue tosell the system, and the design-ers went back to their studies. A few years later, Weeks noticedthat the product was still selling.He and Fields decided to reap-ply themselves and completely rebuild the entire system.

This time they had a product that would revolutionize theindustry in both features andcost.

“We were surprised to findthat phone systems really hav-en’t changed that much sincethey were invented,” saidWeeks, 24. “We started asking:‘What if phone calls could besmart?’ It’s changing the mar-ketplace.”

One such feature is the ability to transcribe a phone call imme-diately and allow software toanalyze the data. Results may find that salespeople with highclosing rates use the samewords and phrases while thosewith low closing rates omit these

special utterings. These find-ings could potentially add major value to the company.

Being honored with theEmerging Business of the Year Award was a special time for Weeks and Fields.

“It was really awesome,” saidWeeks. “We don’t have a hugeclient footprint in MadisonCounty, but it is where we arefrom. It meant a lot to us. The2011 and 2012 years were very busy for us as we moved from a small-business space to a medi-um-enterprise space.”

Having grown up in the small

town of Lapel, the teammatesnow have offices in Indianapolis and California — and areequipped to work international-ly.

“Fathom Voice is decades ahead of the market,” saidWeeks. “I thought that as old asthe industry was, it would bemore grown up. But it is pretty much the same as when it start-ed. We have some really inter-esting things planned for 2013. We are really shaking up theindustry.”

Finding new ways to use theold technology keeps their

excitement level high. While they started with an eye on low-ering costs, they have turnedtheir attention to adding fea-tures. Keeping costs low is noproblem, thanks to the system they designed while in their dorm room.

Competitors retain operation centers where people keep the wheels turning on the process-es. They invented an artificial intelligence system (named Graham — after Alexander Gra-ham Bell) to perform these tasks. Costs don’t build up — since Graham works without pay.

“I am thankful for what we have been able to do,” Weeks said. “I have been thankful for the opportunities in front of me. I have had great people to work with — it’s a little me and a lot of them.”

The O-arm delivers access to real-time three-dimensional images, allowing the surgeon to obtain a higher level of precision in brain and spine procedures.

Neurosurgeons Francesca Tekula, M.D. and James Callahan, M.D. will be using this new technology to perform surgeries at Community Hospital Anderson.

Walking Man on the moveThe Walking Man Project uses public art as a marketing tool to attract customers to area businesses and tourists for the region ››

By Rebecca R. Bibbs

As artist Levi Rinker approached local businesses,persuading them to buy intoThe Walking Man Project, many fell in stride with using publicart as a marketing tool toattract customers for them-selves and tourists for theregion.

Like many artists, Rinker admitted he tends to be more

creative thanbusiness-minded.But he preparedfor the hundredsof businesses heapproached a pro-spectus contain-ing risk assump-tions and returnon investment to

the region, depending on how many businesses signed up.

“A lot said no immediately.That’s just routine, I think,which is the sad thing,” hesaid. “You know they have theadvertising dollars to partici-pate, but they don’t have thepatience or the will to under-stand.”

But it was those who said yes— such as Mermaid Pool, Spa and Patio and Hoosier Park —who made The Walking ManProject a success.

“You make 40 phone callsand get 39 no’s and one yes.But that one person gives youthe motivation to make 40 morecalls,” Rinker said.

Once some of the sculptureswere placed, many businessesthat initially declined his invita-tion to participate called back and wanted to know whether it was too late to sign up.

Similar in concept to highly successful projects like Chica-go’s CowParade in which 300Fiberglass cows were decorat-ed in themes and exhibitedthroughout the city of fivemonths, The Walking ManProject is based on a simplesteel sculpture. Businessespaid to have local artists trans-form the sculptures accordingto a theme that usually was tiedto their business.

Describing himself as a part-time artist with a full-time pas-sion, Rinker first placed thesculptures together in their purest, undecorated forms infront of vacant buildings to

attract attention to the loss of commerce in the area. The dec-orated Walking Man sculptures were intended to highlight suc-cessful businesses and the brightness of the region’s busi-ness future as it comes out of

the bleakness of the recession.“It looks good as art, but it’s

based on the principle of get-ting customers to the stores,” he said.

Though he didn’t expect to attract the two million visitors

Chicago reported, Rinker said Walking Man not only focused potential visitors on the region,it also drew attention to region-al artists and got locals involved in their community.

Blair Lynch, operations man-ager for Mermaid Pool, Spa and Patio, admitted that, though he understood the con-cept, his company had reserva-tions about participating in TheWalking Man Project. He was especially apprehensive with it being an out-of-the box sort of approach to marketing that required a broader mentality, at least in a community like Anderson.

“We knew that it was a great project, but we had some fears it wouldn’t be accepted,” he said. “Arts can be a very hard sell with the business commu-nity.”

As a public art initiative, the buy-in for The Walking ManProject was relatively inex-pensive, the $1,800, $2,500 or $5,000 sponsorship price tag

also raised eyebrows, espe-cially when weighed against tried and true methods of out-reach.

“It wasn’t something that weinitially had budgeted into our marketing,” Lynch said. “Obvi-ously, when it comes to doingany type of promotion for thebusiness, you want to see a residual return on your invest-ment.”

Lynch said he didn’t rule out the possibility but remained onthe sidelines to see whether others would embrace it. But as participation snowballed, hebecame increasingly interest-ed.

“The more and more welooked at what the project rep-resented as a whole, we decid-ed to become involved,” hesaid. “It’s so cool. In a town likeAnderson, it’s such a cool thingto see these 10-foot structures.They’re so industrial, whichmakes sense for a town likeAnderson.”

Harkening back to a moreinnocent time to emphasizefamily values, Mermaid had its

Walking Man transformed into an old-fashioned swimmer, complete with full red-and-white bathing suit and handle-bar mustache.

“Our vision is that it’s import-ant to look forward but also remember to look at the past,” Lynch said. “It represented everything we wanted in it.”

Though it’s difficult to quan-tify whether the Walking Man Project brought more business to Mermaid, Lynch said he was pleasantly surprised by the result as parents and grandpar-ents brought their children in to have their passports stamped. Passports were dis-tributed as part of the project to encourage residents and vis-itors to visit the various Walk-ing Man sites.

“I personally took my kids to get the stamps,” the father of three said. “I can’t tell you as a parent how hard it is to find things for the kids to do aside of sit in front of the TV.”

at first, Lynch said he’d be like-ly to participate in similar proj-ects in the future. In addition,Mermaid was so pleased withthe result, the company kept their Walking Man rather that offering him up for auction.

“I never met one person who said, ‘This is silly; this is a waste of time,’” Lynch said.

He added that Mermaid’sWalking Man has become animportant part of the compa-ny’s image, and they will belooking for ways in the futureto incorporate him in their marketing ef for ts. For instance, it’s been suggestedthe Walking Man hold a steelsign communicating the com-pany’s special events and pro-motions.

Grant Scharton, director of public relations at Hoosier Park, said he was all in as soonas The Walking Man Project was presented.

“We really heard a very impassioned speech from Leviabout the project,” he said. “As soon as Levi was done, weknew this was something Hoo-

sier Park wanted to be involved in.”

In fact, Hoosier Park was so committed to the project, it sponsored two Walking Man sculptures. One was the expected “Casino Man,” with the body of a slot machine, the face of a roulette wheel and legs of money. The other sculp-ture, a tribute to Indiana’s POWs and MIAs, in military tones of green, gray and black, featured the names of each individual lost in the Gulf War.

The sculpture was important to honor the veterans who work at and visit the casino, Scharton explained.

Perhaps surprisingly, it was “Casino Man” Hoosier Park parted with at auction while buying back the military trib-ute, which attracted visitors from throughout the state.

“For us, the whole project fell right in line with Madison County becoming a tourism center. There are a lot of things to do here locally, and Hoosier Park is one of them,” Scharton said. ■

Nestled in the heart of “SmalltownU.S.A.” — the designation given to Alexandria by the United StatesDepartment of Defense in 1943 —are the schools that serve the resi-dents of Monroe Township. The small town of about 6,000 makes for asmall school with attractive class siz-es.

Founded in 1836, Alexandria bene-fitted greatly from the gas boom, butis now a more rural community. Still, the town has a mix of light and heavyindustry and commercial enterprise.It’s also a bedroom community forAnderson and other nearby cities.

Established in 1873, AndersonCommunity Schools has a long tradi-tion of education within the commu-nity. While students first met in churches and homes, a building was constructed at Lincoln and Twelfth streets in 1898.

During the baby boom years, two more high schools were constructedand operated within the corpora-tion. Madison Heights High School was founded in 1956 and HighlandHigh School was built in 1955(although it operated independently

until the 1970s).The Wigwam, one of the largest

high-school gyms in the world at62,160 square feet, was opened in1961 and became the hallmark of notonly the school, but the town as well.

Declining student populations inthe 1990s resulted in MadisonHeights being renamed AndersonHigh while the central building wasleft as administration space only. Fur-ther decline caused Highland tobecome a middle school — leavingAHS, once again, the sole highschool in the district.

From a small schoolhouse which opened in 1852 with wooden planksfor desks to the large modern build-ings of today, Elwood schools have seen a great deal of change. Aftermany construction projects and grow-ing pains, the middle and highschools are joined to allow sharing ofart and music facilities, the swim-ming pool and the auditorium.

With 1600 students, Elwoodschools provide a small-town environ-ment that many people find attractive.

Originally meeting in a one-roomschoolhouse, Lapel’s first students received a new building in 1874 onthe Studley Farm. The new location came with a new name — the Stud-ley School. It gave way to a two-room school, which was replaced in 1899 by an eight-room building.

As the number of students expanded, so did the schools. The Frankton and Lapel districts were consolidated in 1972, creating an even larger student base.

The new Lapel High School, which opened in 2008, serves 400 studentsin grades 9-12. Frankton Junior/Senior High, founded in 1989, serves 500 students in grades 7-12.

Serving a population of about 20,000 residents, the South Madi-son Community School Corporation includes the towns of Pendleton, Markleville and Ingalls. The area isknown for its historical heritage (Pendleton being listed on theNational Register of Historic Plac-es), arts and crafts shops and Falls Park.

While Markleville once had itsown high school, the construction of Pendleton Heights High School in 1969 was also a consolidation of the two districts.

With a $25 million renovation to the high school in the late 1990s,the building was outfitted with 18new classrooms, industrial technol-ogy areas, a practice gymnasium, a wrestling room and a 926-seat audi-torium.

As the newest elementary schoolin the district, Maple Ridge opened its doors in 2002. Most of the 850 students are residents of Green Township. East Elementary, which opened in 1979 as the consolidationof Markleville Elementary and FallCreek Elementary, serves 650 stu-dents from Adams and Fall Creektownships.

Insulation company ‘reflects’ Madison County ingenuityBy Emma Bowen Meyer

A building that was once a small school in Markleville now houses Reflectix Inc., theworld’s largest manufacturer of reflective insulation. StevePainter, a former student in that very school, developed the tech-nology and methods to manu-facture a shiny product with a myriad of uses.

“When he (Painter) sold thebusiness in 2000, we remainedhere due to the central location,”said Dale Tokarski, president.“There is a great talent base inMadison County. This hasproved to be a great location.”

Not only does Reflectix sell tobig box stores — such as HomeDepot, Lowes and Menards — it has also developed applicationsfor the HVAC marketplace, auto-motive industry, food-packagingcompanies and builders of metalstructures.

“The only constant for us ischange,” said Tokarski. “We arealways developing new productsand bringing them into the mar-ket.”

With 90 employees, Reflectix has thrived during a time whenmany shut their doors. As peo-ple have learned more about therelatively new product, they have responded favorably.

“We have come a long way,”Tokarski said. “I wish peoplehad more knowledge of how it

works. People often only think of the R value of insulation rath-er than understanding radiant heat in an application.”

The company website com-pares mass insulation to a foam cup and reflective insulation to a thermos jug lining. By reflecting the heat (or cold) back in the

direction from which it emanat-ed, a higher efficiency isachieved by the specially-de-signed material.

“We are very proud to have a group of individuals at our orga-nization with a passion to makethe highest quality product for our customers,” Tokarski said.

Vast amounts of corn fields that blur the vision and traintracks that stall traffic drew the aaeye of big business to a rural area of Madison County. POET Biorefining is an ethanol man-ufacturer in need of 20 million bushels of locally grown cornper year and access to the rails to transport 68 million gallons of ethanol to customers.

“Our industry is very dynam-ic,” said Dave Hudak, general manager. “It provides theopportunity for excitement and variety. I love the people I work with — they’re the best teamI’ve ever had.”

Ethanol has become a focus of attention in recent years as the price of gasoline has risen to disturbing heights. Howev-er, the production and use of the product dates back farther than many people realize.

Established in 1986, POET operates 27 plants in sevenstates. With a production of 1.6billion gallons of ethanol, 9billion pounds of high proteinanimal feed and thousands of pounds of bio-based oils andlubricants, this innovativecompany fills the needs of a

variety of customers.By blending ethanol with

gasoline, consumers generaly save 30-40 cents per gallon at the pump.

Alexandria was chosen as a per fect location in 2008because of the proximity toraw materials and access to

utilities — including water, electricity and the train tracks. The 43 highly skilled employ-ees mostly reside within the county.

“POET not only creates jobs, but is also good for the com-munity,” Hudak said. “We pur-chase locally grown corn and contract goods and services from local companies. We cre-ate Hoosier jobs and pull down prices at the pump. We add quite a bit to the local econo-my.”

Wrong time the right time for RenConBy Emma Bowen Meyer

When Jeremy Bergunder, laidoff in 2007 because of the eco-nomic downturn, asked long-time friend Shane Skinner about job opportunities in his compa-ny, Bergunder received a bizarrereply. Skinner offered to quit hisown general contractor positionso the two could begin their ownbusiness.

“It was an odd time to get started but ended up being theright thing,” said Skinner. “Hehad a lot of contacts from beinga construction project manag-er in the Starbucks world, andI had a lot of contacts frombeing a general contractor inIndianapolis.”

RenCon Services primarily of fers contracting skills for new construction and renova-tions of restaurants and stores.

With a strong maintenancearm, the company is capable of repairing virtually anythingthat could go wrong with com-mercial buildings.

Starting with one job at theIndianapolis airport, the com-pany has steadily grown toinclude work all over the Unit-ed States. Via the opening of anoffice in Dallas to serve loca-tions west of the Mississippi,the Pendleton office is able toconcentrate on work east of the river.

Cultivating relationship withclients has not only increasedbusiness volume, it hasprompted the partners toexpand into areas they had not anticipated.

“Recently our clients askedus to go into the heat-ing-and-cooling field, whichwas not something we planned

to do,” Skinner explained. “We kicked the idea around for a while and decided to jump in. Over the last six months, we’ve developed a new division.”

While they may have chosen a difficult time to begin, Ber-gunder and Skinner’s success speaks for itself.

“It’s been a lot of fun,” said Skinner. “We attribute success to doing the right thing and being willing to do anything and everything for a client.”

Fredericks: Home grown and family basedBy Emma Bowen Meyer

A family business in every sense of theword, Fredericks Inc. has grown exponen-tially since Wilbert Fredericks first pur-chased Markle Lumber in 1970. With thehelp of his eight children, he saw the cor-poration first branch out into farm con-struction and then commercial construc-tion.

“We have all worked in the company at some point,” said Janice Fredericks Stamp-er, project manager and business develop-ment head. “But just because you arefamily doesn’t mean you are entitled to a job. You have to bring something of valuewith you. In fact, family members are heldto a higher standard than employees.”

Bill Fredericks is the CEO; John Freder-icks is CFO and President of MarklevilleLumber; Steve Fredericks is the commer-cial roofing manager; and nephews Nick Fredericks and John Fredericks are proj-ect managers.

Clients include hospitals, schools, uni-versities, businesses, athletic facilities,

churches and municipal entities. By sup-plying one aspect of building (such aselectrical work, roofing, or cabinetry man-ufacturing) or an entire turn-key project,Fredericks meets a variety of needs for a variety of customers.

“I believe the ideals of family business fit this rural community,” said FredericksStamper. “We care about each other andhave built relationships with our clients.”

A desire to meet clients’ needs hasspurred business growth even in difficult times.

“It is reflective of our work that during therecession we didn’t have to lay off any employees,” she continued. “We had to get creative in those times, but we focused onkeeping them working and keeping our doors open by doing our best for our cli-ents.”

The bluff overlooked WhiteRiver as it undulated throughwhat is now Madison County.The Turkey Clan of the Dela-ware Indians, driven west fromtheir Pennsylvania origin, locat-ed there as the chief they calledKik-tha-we-nund placed his wig-wam about where the MadisonCounty Detention Center now stands.

That chief was William Ander-son, the son of the daughter of Delaware Tribal Chief Neta-awatwees and a Swedish trader.He was an influential leader whomanaged to suppress the liquor trade among the Delaware andkept the tribe out of war duringthe uprising of Tecumseh. But in 1818 he signed the Treaty of St. Mary’s for the Delaware andreluctantly moved on, eventual-ly locating in Kansas and Mis-souri, where he died.

It was one of what would bemany identities for what wasbeing called Anderson’s Town.Moravian missionaries already had come and gone from thecentral Indiana frontier. Chief Anderson’s daughter, Meking-es, married a white trader named William Conner, who stayed behind when Mekingesand their children left Indiana with her father. Conner becameAnderson’s first white settler.

Madison County’s history goes back much further, though.Not far up the river, the prehis-toric Adena culture as early as160 years B.C. had constructedthe Great Mound and other cer-emonial earthworks in what isnow Mounds State Park. Themounds later were used by theHopewell culture inhabitants.

In the early 1840s Frederick Bronnenberg Jr. built his homenear the mounds, mostly of materials taken from the area.The house has become a center-piece at Mounds State Park. He

was among the early settlers inUnion Township, which most likely was named for the federalunion of the states, according tohistorians.

Pendleton was the original county seat of Madison County,which was formed in 1823 andnamed for the nation’s fourth

president, James Madison. But there were ambitious plans for Anderson. Conner had sold theland to John and Sarah Berry, who donated 32 acres to Madi-son County on condition that the county seat be moved from Pendleton, which happened in1828.

Anderson was first incorporat-ed as a town in 1838 after the Mammoth Internal Improve-ment Act caused a population growth. The Central Canal was planned to come through Ander-son, but economic conditions stopped the project. Completion of the Indianapolis BellefontaineRailroad revived Anderson,which became a city in 1865. Industries began locating in thetown, and with the natural gasboom industries such as glass-making sprang up. A Cincinnati newspaper referred to the city as “The Pittsburgh on WhiteRiver.”

The Interurban Railroad was born in Anderson in 1897, oper-ating between central Indiana cities until 1941. In 1906 theGospel Trumpet Co. (later War-ner Press) moved from Mounds-

ville, W.Va., and Anderson became headquarters for the Church of God.

Then disaster hit. People hadn’t worried about the limitsof the natural gas supply, run-ning street lights day and night and even lighting a pocket of gas in the middle of White River as an attraction. But the gas ranout, and several factories left.

Reinventing the city already was under way, however. Frank and Perry Remy had set up a home wiring business in 1896, and Remy Electric was incorpo-rated in 1901. The CommercialClub, forerunner of the present Chamber of Commerce, per-

suaded the Remy brothers tostay in Anderson, and by 1910 the company was producing 50,000 magnetos a year. It was the start of an automobile acces-sories boom that would carry the city through its economicgolden era.

The Remy brothers sold their firm in 1911, and the product line was expanded to includecranking motors, generators and distributors. In 1916 the United Motor Co. purchased both Remy and its competitor,Dayton Engineering Laborato-ries Co. (Delco), and Delco Remy was born. It became part of General Motors in 1918.

Over the years, 17 types of automobiles were manufacturedin Anderson, with the Lambert family among the city’s leadersin its development. Many other inventions were perfected in thecity, as well.

Another innovation, lighting,drove the second piece of Madi-son County's future. Threeemployees of Badger Brass Co.in Kenosha, Wis., which madeacetylene gas lamps for night driving, went out on their own toCleveland, Ohio, and formedthe Guide Motor Lamp Co. They turned to electric lighting, andby 1928 General Motors hadbought out the firm, forming theGuide Lamp Corp. and locatingit in Anderson in 1929.

Madison County was an inte-gral part of the formation of theUnited Auto Workers, GuideLamp being the site of widely publicized sit-down strikes inthe 1930s.

Several other industries weregoing strong in the mid-20thcentury, including Emge Pack-ing, Nicholson File, National

Tile, Anaconda Wire, Reynolds Gas Regulator, Howe Fire Appa-ratus, Lynch Corp. and Pierce Governor.

The rest of Madison County prospered, as well. Several fac-tories opened in Elwood and Alexandria. Elwood native Wen-dell Willkie ran for president in 1940 against Franklin D. Roos-evelt. And during World War II the federal government desig-nated Alexandria as Small Town USA. Brockway Glass Co. became Lapel’s business anchor. Elwood’s current lead-ing industry is Red Gold Can-ning Co., while Alexandria has become world famous as the location of Gaither Music Co., founded by gospel singers Bill and Gloria Gaither.

High school basketball drew widespread attention to Madi-son County. The 9,000-seat Anderson Wigwam was the sec-ond-largest high school gymna-sium in the world when it was built in 1961, and it was filled with fans on weekends as the Anderson Indians and sister schools Madison Heights and Highland vied for statewide attention.

Again, however, economic

conditions began to change asautomotive belt-tighteningoccurred and the nation turnedfrom railroad transportation toair and interstate highway trav-el. The industry tried to adapt,GM opening the Magnequenchfactory in Anderson to producemagnetic powder used in a number of products. GMstreamlined its auto parts pro-duction under the Delphiumbrella.

Eventually GM decided tospin off its suppliers into sepa-rate companies. Delco Remy America and Guide Corp. wereformed, and Magnequench wassold to a Chinese firm. As eco-nomic conditions continued tochange, all three moved manu-facturing operations out of Anderson. And the city was at a new crossroads.

As Anderson reinvents itself,the city’s southern corridor,along Interstate 69, is becominga key component. The FlagshipEnterprise Center is attractingbusinesses on the southwest,and nearby Nestlé has opened a major production plant.
