From the foregoing It win be seen
that Texas leads with s01 new indus
tries, Tennessee next with 6ol and OK
lahoma third with 575, which is a most
remarkable showing.

woodworking plants number 1887,
mines and quarries come next with 519
and electric light and power plants
third with 500.
In the matter of diversihcation the
list covers the widest possible range
and embraces practically all lines of
manufacturing.
In amount of capital invested, so far
as this could be gathered, it will be a
matter of general surprise that okla
homa leads all other states. including
Texas with its large preponderance
OF numbers by several million dollars.
