The number OF persons employed in
the various manufacturing establish
mcnts or Wheeling includes about one
fourth OF the entire population. which
Is quite a good record. From reliable
estimates furnished. about l2,4U5 per.
sons are actively employed in produc.
Ing the various commodities for which
Wheeling is noted. OF which numi er
l.b2i ar" females. or about one-tenth
OF the whole number. These figures
ar" for Wheeling city props and do
not include the n~eiehboring Ohio
towns or the suburbs contributing 10
this city. II these were included II
would probably swell the total to 20.
900 PERSONS engaged in the
turing industries. II must also he
taken into consideration that these
figures do not include all who are en-.
ployed. such as clerks IN the dry goods
and other stores and Offices. II these
employed in all the gainful pursuits
were added the total would foot w
som"thius over 10000 for Wheeling
proper. What We have 10 do with in
this article. how ever. are those cstaL
I~hments which are engaged in the
manufacturing business. and the toll.
lowing table gives the details on that
subject.
