Sistersville Is In
This Spccial
Chattanooga, Tenu., May 20. ?
The establishment of new indus
tries in the southern states shows
no decrease, either as to their di
versity or the stated capitaliza
tion. The acoinpanying list for
the week ending to-dav is author
ized by the Tradesman, being
made up of the principal new in
dustries reported during the week
from the various states as indica
ted. Two "new mining compan
ies. each capitalized at a million
dollars, will be noticed in the Ok
laiioma list, together with other
concerns with a capital of half
a million and less. Texas reports
a two million dollar manufactur
ing concern and a Lrreat variety of
new industries with capital less
than that amount. West Virgin
ia is also in the million dollar class
this week, with a chemical and
paint company having that amount
of capital. Careful scrutiny of
this week's list will reveal several
significant features, among which
are the systematic development of
mineral and timber lands and the
ifi trod notion of ivp-to-date fc^ec
tric plants in all lines of indus
try. The Tradesman list for new
West Virginia industries this week
is as follows j
