The development of Centre county s |
industrial resourses ‘shows a substantial |
increase in 1918, the last year that data
wasjcollected, as compared with the two |
previous years, according to figures re-|
cently issued by the State Department |
of Internal Affairs, The report is quite |
interesting, the salient points being the |
following : i
In three years production valuation in- |
creased almost $5,000,000, In 1916 the |
tre county was $7,438,000. In 1917 the |
value of the manufactures increased to |
$i:.325800 and in 1918 the reports
show the value was $12,162,500.
dustries of the county likewise increased
during three years. Figures show that
in 1916 the industries represented a total
capital of $6,343,600. In 1917 the
invested capital reached a total of
8, 214,700 and in 1gi8 the total capitaliza-
| tion ot the various plants was $7,288 ooo,
