Skilled workmen assemble these

Competing successfully with the
great plants in cities generally re-
puted to be greater manufacturing
centers than Atlanta, the Atlanta
Stove Works is proof that there are
few lines of industry which can not
be acquired on TO advantage in the
great distributing center of the
Southeast.
From the pig iron. that most IN
lovely looking stuff, to the shining
nickel trimmings, everything which
goes to make a stove is manufac-
tured in Atlanta. The factory fur
nishes employment to several hun
dreds of men support to as many
prospering families
Iron and coke by the carload come
in at one end Of the plant; shining
cook stoves, ranges and heaters issue

How many workmen it will bring

The factory is to be finished and

is building a siding at the site. H. J.
Carr, contractor, is to begin his work
as soon as this siding is completed.
The freight rate on pig lead is less

FOREIGN TRADE
GOES AHEAD At
UNUSUAL RATE
Sales Increase From $47,000,-
600 in 1852 to $780,
100000 in 1912.

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE lit
tie volume just issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce entitled "Ameri-
can Manufactures in Foreign Mar
kets," is one that ought to be in the
files of every chamber of commerce.
1t is the first time in which the
facts respecting sales of American
manufactures abroad have been put
into such condensed form as to make
the growth of our foreign trade clear
ly visible both in totals and in de-
tails and over a long period of years.
The facts are very wonderful. The
book covers only the period from
1852 to 1912, but in that time our
sales of manufactures abroad of all
kinds have grown from $4,000, 900
yearly to 81, 300, O00. 900 yearly But even
this misleads a little as to the cor
rect inference to be drawn, for the
figures just stated include manufac-
tured foodstuffs.
Promise for 1918.
If we leave these out and consider
only manufactured goods other than
foOdstuffs the ratio of increase has
been even larger, for the foreign sales
have Jumped from $4,000. 900 in 1852
to over $l,000,0O0,000 in 1912, and
promise to be nearly or quite $1,000. 70
600, 900 in 1918.
While our total exports of man
ufactures, including foodstuffs have
increased II per cent during the last
10 years. the manufactures other than
foodstuffs have been over 124 per cent.
Strange as it may seem to some, the
greatest increase of all is i'm those
manufactures which are fully finished,
which have grown from S322. 900. OOD
in 1902 To what will probably be over
100000 for the full year of 1913.
an increase of 1873 per cent.
Gives Explicit Details.
The pamphlet gives details of the
principal articles which are included
i'm the various groups. "a well as of
the exports of each group to the diff
ferent continents and percentage
tables from which the relation of all
can be determined Furthermore. the
exports to each continent are given
by classes of articles over a period
of years, and again these classes are
subdiVtded so that the progress of
particular Industries in the export
trade appears. For example it is
shown that the exports of machinery
from the United States will, i'm the
present fiscal year. probably exceed
$500 100000, which compares with
S75,000,000 a decade earlier.
A table Of particular interest is
that showing manufactures in the in
ternational trade Of the world from
which It appears that the percen-
tage of increase in the export of
manufactures from 1900 TO 1912 IS
greater than in that of her chief in
dustrial competitors The United
States nov pAnLre third fI.
nations in export Of manufactures.

with not fewer than 100 eX-
