HARRISBURG AND STEELTON PRODUCTS IN ALL CLIMES In Battleships and Bridges the World Over; Industries Are Varied Harrisburg's future, industrial ex perts believe, lies largely along the lines of distribution, but there is no reason why its manufacturing develop ment should not keep pace with its growth as a jobbing center. Goods manufactured here can be shipped more cheaply to their ultimate desti nations than if brought to Harrisburg by rail and then reshipped, and in addition this city lies close enough to the coal regions on one side and tide water on the other to make freight charges reasonable on fuel and raw material. Also, there is no lack of rairload frontage on sites well syited to manufacturing purposes. Numerous manufacturers have found these conditions favorable to their business and for the benefit of any prospective newcomer who may chance upon these line it may be I Mt. Pleasant Hotel I W. J.

The value of our manufactured . products, exclusive of those of the great Steelton plants of the Pennsyl vania Steel Company, is estimated at more than $30,000,000 and several of the largest industries are planning to materially increase their output. Structural steel work made in Steel ton bridges the St. Lawrence, the mountain chasms of India and Cuba and supports the superstructures of ; giant skyscrapers in New York, Phila delphia and every other large city in the land. Enough rails have been made in Steelton to girdle the earth a half-dozen times. New York and Brooklyn are linked by bridges con structed at Steelton and countless streams are spanned by the sturdy steel beams of the Pennsylvania Steel Company's mills. More than 10,000 men are engaged there. It is a far cry from the day forty-six years ago when the first, steel rails produced commercially in the United States were rolled there to the present, but those at the head of the great con cern say it is just in its infancy and | predict that at an early date its plants l will extend from Harrisburg contin | uousiy nine miles to Middletown.

If further proof of the excellence of Harrisburg-made goods be de manded it may be said that a-part of the 1910 census was counted by Elliott-Fisher machines, made here, and that nearly half of the billing done by the big business establish ments of the State is done with these billing machines, and fully 75 percent, of the dees and mortgages of the country are recorded thereby.
