How conditions do change as
time passesl Near the beginning
of the present century there
were a number of physicians
located in Caldwell, with a pop
ulation Of less than 500. Among
them who will be remembered
by older residents were Drs.
Martin, Mckee, Way, the two
Downeys, Beebout, Finley, Kee-
nan, Cleary, Murray, Mallett,
Radcliffe and possibly others
briefly; at places in Noble
county, then with a population
considerably greater than at the
present, others were located at
Dexter City, Summerfield, Belle
Valley, Hiramsburg, Sarahsville,
Batesville, Ava, Renrock and
possibly elsewhere. Today there
practically are a half dozen loc-
ated in Caldwell, with none
others in the county. Hence the
passing of time makes wonder
full changes in every thing. Doc
tor fees in the earlier days were
seldom more than fifty cents per
service, including medicine ad-
ministered. In instances doctors

Geauga County has chalked up
bigger industrial gains in recent
years than have most counties
in the United States.
Because of this sharper grow
tn rate, it has advanced in rel
ative Importance in the nations
industrial complex.
In a period of only five years
it added considerably to its num-
ber of jobs in commerce a n d
industry going from 1928 up to
4,157. Not included are jobs ! n
government, agriculture, rail :
roads, domestic service and self
employment.
The increase in the job total
locally amounted to 28.7 percent,
which compared favorably with
the gain in the United States, av-
eraging 7.3 percent, and with the
7.3 percent also in the State of
Ohio.
The facts and figures are con-
tanned in County Business Patt-
erns, recently released by t W o
Federal agencies the Dept. of
Commerce and the Dept. of Hea-
lth, Education and Welfare. The
data is based on employment re-
ports turned in for 1866 and 1851.
They show, for the country as
a whole, the need for more and
mo,f, manpower in the economy.

County's Industry Gains
Bigger than Most Areas

The demand has been growing
faster in some areas than in
others, being most pronounced
in sections recently industriali-
zed.
Despite the ups and downs of
business, despite automation, de-
spite new methods and materia-
Is and the many other changes
that occur, the curve continues
to rise. At the present time
there are Is million more
Jobs than there were in 1899.
And another % million will be
required in the next Is years, it
is estimated.
hhe big bug a boo has been
automation and the fear that
machines would put people out
of work. Such has not been the
case, except temporarily. In the
long run, machines create more
jobs than they destroy. New in
dustries, shorter work weeks
and the big build : up in the SER
vice industries have been taking
up the slack.
In Geauga County, according
to the Federal report, payrolls
rose 1916 percent in the five year
period.
This was a greater rise than
was recorded for the United Sta
tes, 35.3 percent. The State Of
Ohio gain was 1876 percent.
