Description
Photograph of Buel T. Davis. He was a resident of Decatur from 1909 to 1916, when he left for Champaign to represent the Waterbury interest in community development work in Florida. Davis started the Better Life Movement here in 1910. When he first came to town, he started working in newspapers, using that channel to try to launch a scheme of country community centers, co-operative stores and canning factories, civic improvements, etc. It only received half-hearted support, and the ideas were eventually abandoned. The photo was taken by Vandeventer, and ran in the Decatur Herald or Daily Review on February, 12, 1912.
