Tyler and Clarke both amassed great wealth as well as power as the organization swelled. The pair reinvested their money in Klan activities and enterprises, such as the Gate City Manufacturing Company, which produced the robes and hoods Klan members purchased. In addition, Tyler founded and ran TheSearchlight, the official newspaper of the Klan. http://www.buckheadheritage.com/content/history/historic-buildings/tyler
