"Come to Siler City!"

"There's a very well-known and famous legend in Siler City. And I'm not sure if anyone's ever verified this so, you know, take it with as much grain of salt as you can. I do. But, the legend is that once upon a time there was a billboard in Mexico, like in Puebla, and it said, "Come to Siler City, there are jobs there for you!" I don't know if that's true or not. I have never seen it, but that's what people say. But certainly the industry helped to recruit and in many cases transport people to these communities for the purposes of working in their plants and that triggered this demographic change."
