North Carolina HustIing Michigan.

North Carolina is pushing Michigan for
honors in the e-making business.
The Increase Of this business in the
Southern State has been remarkable.
Between 1900 and 1905 the number Of
furniture manufacturing plants in North
Carolina increased from A to 100. the
capital invested in them from 81, ,023,374 to
81. .62l. .994. the number of wage earners
from 1.759 to 5,164. and the value of the
output from $1,547,3O5 to S6,1S1, 61s raising
furniture making from the seventh to the
fifth place in the rank Of the States in
dustries.
This notable advance has come about
through the utilization at home of some
of the vast hardwood resources OF the
State under the spur Of experience at
High Point that has changed that place
within less than twenty years from a
small town to the leading furniture manu-
featuring center of the South.
