Increase of Misunderstanding Interests In Montgomery Rapid--Old Plants Enlarge Capacity While Oth-
 CTS Are Established.

Montgomery's growth as manufac- turing point during the past year was in keeping with forward strides along other lines
 dustries were located in Montgomery during the past eleven months as du- ring the preceding year, but neSotlA- tions have been undertaken 10 oring many new ones and nearly all the old industries added to their capacity ana went out for more trade and bigger business.
 1t has always been a hard matter to reconcile the idea Montgomery and IT annfacturies. Montgomery has al ways been an agricultural centre. On the success of agriculture in the sur rounding country the success of Mont gomery largely rests. But Montgom- cry is also rapidly becoming manu- featuring centre. Two years ago The Advertiser printed an exhaustive re- view of Montgomery as manufactur- time that $3,6s6.000 was invested in Montgomery manufactures. Those fac- tories according to statistics two years ago. employed no less than 4.290 wage earn CTS.
 During the intervening twenty-four months, Montgomery has been doing everything industrially but marking time Montgomery factories, like ev- erything else that helps make up pro- gressive Montgomery, nave been in- creased. Those factories of two years ago, have practically all increased the capacity of their plants, and with the increased plants have increased the number of wage-earners employed.
 The Advertiser last September re- corded the fact that the year just concluded brought eleven new manu- featuring industries to Montgomery, while the last twelve months have brought Montgomery seven new facto- ries. The investments for the two years will add anoLner million to the TH Ht.-.. 5Co. %en smpi0Ss0 VIII pc increased over
