WERTHEIMER BAG
PLANT EXPANDED
$4,000 to $4,000 in New
Equipment Increases Ca
pacity rs Per Cent

The Wertheimer Bag company
did its part in national defense
during 1910 and ees bigger and
better days ahead for 1871.
Expansion was the keynote at
the bag plant during the past year
when a building of $4,000 square
feet, all on one floor, was erected
and made into the plant proper,
with the quarters formerly used
by the plant being changed into
warehouse space. New offices
were also erected on the ground
floor and between $40, 900 and $751;
600 was expended for new equip
ment, which increased the capacity
of the plant by Is percent.
In line with national defense, the
plant has only recently completed
filling an order for 900, 900 sand
bags to be used in national de-
tense work.
The year 1910 was a good one
for the plant, according to the
management, and '1941 looks even
better"
The only possible fly in the oint-
ment is the difficulty of securing
burlap from India, but, says S. l..
Marberry, lit looks as though that
condition will soon be relieved" l

tive throughout the year in the
face of troublous times interna-
tionally and with the example Of
the impregnability of their coun-
terpart institutions, the British
building societies, in Great Brit.
ain, which were noted for a strong
reserve position for years before
the war;" said Morton Bodfish, ex-
ecutive vice-president of the Unit
ed States Savings and L o a n
League.
The increasing emphasis of saw
ings and loan associations on con-
struction loans was a feature OF
their 1910 tranactions. Several
months of the year their volume of
loans for new home building was
the largest block of advances for
any one purpose. In two months,
August and October, new construc-
ton loans were SO percent of total
disbursements. This was the first
year in which they had been more
conspicuous in the associations
lending programs than home pur-
chase loans for any full month.
While IS to 70 percent Of the
mortgage money supplied from
this source went into home pur-
chase and home building, loans
for repair and modernazation con-
tinued to take an average 5 to 6
percent of the funds. About $50,
900, 900 worth of new roofs, porch
es, interior paint jobs and addi-
tons to houses was made possible
by the repair and modernizatior
credits provided. This business, the
League points out, is as old as the
associations themselves, since the
first borrower from an association
in 1881 got a loan to build a new
kitchen on his house three year:
later. AS the institutions rounded
out their 10th year of activity il
this country they were still taking
modernization loans in their stride
supplying them wherever needed
but putting their chief emphasi!
as well as their major dollar vol
ume into the creating of new own
~er-occupied homes.
The year was the second in {
row to see a net gain in the re
sources of savings and loan insti
tutions which started up from theil
deflation low in 1889. A larger per
centage of assets is in mortgage
loans than has been true for sever
years and the collection record or
the loans reached a prosperity lev
ell in 1910.

SAVINGS AND LOAN
FUNDS HELP MANY
Savings, B. And L., Groups
Lend More Funds Than In
Any Year Since 1880

. The lending of approximately
81, 200, 600, 900 by savings, building
and loan associations in 1910 gave
these home financing institutions
their most active year since 1880.
The United States Savings a n d
Loan League estimates that this
volume of disbursements provided
3O6, 900 families with mortgage
loans to acquire their own homes.
Fol every sever newly built
homes which ere financed there
were approximately IL existing
homes which hitherto renting fam
lilies were assisted in buying. OF
the total volume Of privately IL
nanced residential construction in
the country last year about 80 per
cent was provided by the savings
and loan institutions and more
than half of the number of one
and two-family homes built were
made possible by advances from
this type OF institution.
On the other end of the home
owning cycle, the final completion
Of payments on homes bought or
built years ago, the savings and
loan associations also report the
largest number in their history.
Savings and loan mortgage
funds garnered as usual from sys'
tematic savings and lump sum in

Americans, were built up by the
inflow of 81, 100, 900, 900 in new saw

J0BLESS PROBLEM
DESPITE DEFENSE
High Efficiency Permits Rec
ord Output With Fewer
Workers
BY Cambridge Associates


In the late months of 1910 nearly
Al million people were employed
in the United States. Yet in these
same months the army of the I'M
employed numbered about 8,000,-
600 persons and, despite that con-
tinued mobilization of all resources
for defense production, there Is
small hope that the unemployed
will be less than 5000, 900 at the
end Of the year.
This paradox of high productivity
and continued unemployment is &C
countable by several factors. First,
output per man-hour has increased
greatly in the past decade. Pro-
duction can be boosted consider
ably by simply adding an hour to
the work week. The average work
week now is about 80 hours, about
one hour. more per week than at
the 1889 year-end. When over 40
hours r worked, of course, en-
rloyees must be paid at the time
and-half rate under the wages and
hours act. 1t is evident that bottle
necks r being relieved in many
cases in this way rather than by
Wholesale hiring Of additional
workers.
Worker Reserves Grow
Another point to ,emember is
the steady increase in the number
of people of employable age. 1t is
estimated that more than a hall
million more persons become work
seekers each year than retire as
employees or employables.
A third factor is the present con-
centrated demand for skilled work
ers. Appropriations already made
by congress for the defense pro-
gram will provide for 4,500, 600 man
years of work of all kinds, skilled,
semi-skilled and unskilled. So far,
however, the pinch has come in
filling the skilled and semi-skilled
jobs. The reservoir of unskilled
workers shows little signs of dim
inishing rapidly.

come the shortages in the higher

Wilmington like many other
cities which have an appreciate

ing problem particularly pressing
in recent months.
In addition hostelry facilities
have been taxed to the limit and
to meet these needs the Cape Fear
hotel during 1910 erected an ad-
dition to its already expanded
building.
The lower section Of the addi-

hotel proper and is reached by an
alley on the west side of the build
ing, is used as a garage and stor-
age space for the automobiles OF
guests. Here on three levels IS
cars can be stored simultaneously
The upper section of the building
houses 10 additional guest rooms,
giving the Cape Fear hotel a total
of more than 200 rooms.
The new addition is as modern

There are no elevators in the
