OUR ADVANTAGES FOR WOODWORKING PLANTS

One of the very first things which the Cham

the vast number of people in the country engaged in

Such manufactures be started also with compar-

Carolina capitalized upon average of $4,000.
The 125 establishments in Georgia upon an average

While many of them are capitalized at capital not
exceeding 5000 each.
The difference between cost Of the raw material and
