the Union, According to U. S.
Chamber of Commerce.
ALL SHOULD LEARN RESOURCES
People Of Iowa Can Make Their State
One Of the Greatest Manufac-
turing States of Union.

At the present time Iowa is the
most prosperous state in the Union.
This fact is brought out by the United
States Chamber of Commerce in a
recent report. Every Iowan is natur-
ally pleased to learn of this report,
yetTthereis dangersthat he may feel
a sense of security when reviewing
the seemingly nnbounded resources of
his state and rely upon these re-
sources to maintain this great pros
perity that is so favoring Iowa when
other sections Of the country are sui
fering failures.
1t behooves every iowa man and
woman to learn of the resources OF
his state and to contribute his share
in promoting it's interests. In times
OF prosperity every effort must be put
forth to develope further those things
which are at hand. The wealth per
capita of Iowa is greater than that of
any other state except one. But Iowa
has not yet begun to deveiope her own
resources. Hundreds of acres of rich

to BIO made to produce; and there are
unbounded opportunities for factories
to 'develope and flourish. The people
of Iowa have been helping to further
the. commercial interests of other
states by putting their money into
schemes fostered by promoters of
mines, cheap eastern, southern and
western lands, Oil fields, rice lands,
fruit farms and all sorts of enter
prises.
The people OF Iowa can make their
state one Of the greatest manufac-
turing states SQf the country. This
means work, energy and cooperation.
Whenever capable man has attempt
ed to manufacture in Iowa, he has
been successful. 1t is claimed that
every. factory failure ever recorded in
the state has been due to misman-
agement, or to- someone's attempting
an enterprise for which he was not
fitted. During recent years the growth
and Development of small Iowa fac
tories, as we'll as large ones has been
marvellous. There is not we'll read
person within the state who does not

factories, that is rapidly taking its
place in the commercial world.
The question has been asked-How
many people know about Iowa fac
tories, what Iowa manufactures, and
the capacity of these factories? Per-
haps if these people were in some
distant state, or abroad, lowa's place
inf'the manufacturing world would be
better known.
