	OASIS News
		Candler was originally chosen because it was near Washington, it had sufficient floor strength and space to handle the enormous weight and volume that we would need.
		Field Offices were urged to send their backlog to these centers for processing, and the typing centers went full tilt.
		Field people felt deeply the reaction of the public to the low level of benefits that were being paid in a period of inflation, and it got so we flinched whenever we had to face a claimant's inquiry about how much money he would receive.

	Industrial Atlanta--Atlanta: A National Register of Historic Places Travel Itinerary
		Van Winkle Gin and Machine Works, Atlantic Steel, and Ford Motor Company's first Atlanta assembly plant were only the most prominent of dozens of cotton and mercantile warehouses, factories, and textile mills that lined the railroad corridors radiating from downtown.
		By then, the dense redevelopment of much of downtown Atlanta had crowded out most of the old residential buildings, some of which had survived Sherman's fires in 1864, and new construction was replacing them with larger and larger office buildings, hotels, factories, and warehouses.
		In addition, the city, urged on by Alderman and later mayor William B. Hartsfield, established a municipal airport on Asa Candler's old motor speedway south of town in 1929; and by the end of 1930, only New York and Chicago had more regularly-scheduled flights than Atlanta's Candler Field.
