Dayton doesn’t back down

June 16, 2008 · 7 Comments

In March, 1913 the rain kept coming and on one fateful night the President of the National Cash Register Company (NCR), John Patterson, knew the levees were going to break and Dayton would be under seige.  After sacrificing his factory for the relief effort and saving the city, Patterson went about saving the city’s future.  His “Remember the Promises You Made in the Attic” and “Never Again” fundraising campaign erected the world’s largest cash register next to the Old Courthouse and thus began the Miami Conservancy District and the world-class dry dam system that protects the region’s rural and urban areas today.

The lessons of March, 1913 were not heeded everywhere however.  Read this article and be thankful that Dayton’s city fathers did all they could and didn’t shy away from doing the dirty work.
