Cannon Mills Donates Building for YMCA, June 6, 1925

The Gift of a Building

Charlotte Observer

The Cannon Mills at Kannapolis, like all textile plants in this part of the South, has been quite well equipped with churches and schools and young men’s and young women’s institutions, but it has found that circumstances justify newer and better things, so it is to stage a formal opening of a new Young Men’s Christian Association building on the 15th of the present month. It is to be known as the Cannon Memorial, and formal presentation to the association will be made by Hon. David H. Blair, in behalf of the donors. It is a very handsome building and in architecture and appointments is the equal of the best in many of the larger cities. Gifts of the character are common with the North Carolina mill people and attest the general liberality in providing for the welfare of the workers.
