Special reports to the Manufacturers |
Record show that the industrial activity !
throughout the South steadily widens, |
nd while spreading out to almost every
orner of that section loses nothing in |
Gree, but rather gains in power. 1t is |
My necessary to read the long list of |
ew enterprises, large and small, cover
ng the widest possible range of INDUS
ries, as given in this week IS issue of the
Record, to see that the
outh is now moving forward more rap
lily than ever before, and that this great
rave of progress is carrying everything
efore it, and even the few old cities and
owns that were supposed to be finished
re feeling its effect.
Never before was there such general
ctivity throughout the South, aud it is
if1cult TO fully comprehend its magni-
ude. From Maryland to Texas there is
eneral awakening and not only are hun
reds of new industrial enterprises being
rejected every week, but great railroad
perations are beng pushed forward,
nd extensive building schemes of
II kinds, including the erection
f large stores and warehouses, splendid
welllngs, fine hotels and small cottages
