  • Industries Coming cRctpidly T\ yjTANUFACTURING is rapidly taking on ■*■* ■**• increased importance throughout East Tennessee. This industry covers a wide range, including iron and steel, copper, chemicals, wood products, machinery, furniture, potteries, books and magazines, railway, mine and mill equipment, a large variety of textiles and hundreds of other valuable products. With an estimated volume of over 1,500,000 potential H. P. to be developed along the upper Tennessee River and tributaries, and the possibility of early development of this power, is attracting the interested attention of many industrial plants and corporations, which are now seeking advantageous locations. Labor conditions, with an abundance of raw materials and exceptional transportation facilities, are especially favorable and are the basis of many new industries now being located in East Tennessee, and others which are in the prospect for the near future. Among the outstanding industries which have located in East Tennessee recently are included: $17,000,000 Bemberg Rayon Mill at Elizabeth- ton ; the $1,000,000 full-fashioned silk hosiery mill at Clinton; Borden Mills at Kingsport; Gloria Hosiery Mills at Johnson City and the Aluminum Company of America at Alcoa. These are presented only as examples of the industrial opportunity and progress in this section. Knoxville, the largest city in East Tennessee, is growing rapidly and steadily in population. Among the other East Tennessee cities which are also enjoying a rapid and wholesome rate of growth are included: Athens, Benton, Bristol, Cleveland, Clinton, Coal Creek, Copperhill, Duck- town, Cumberland Gap, Dandridge, Elizabethton, Erwin, Etowah, Greeneville, Harriman, Jacks-' boro, Jefferson City, Jellico, Johnson City, Jones- boro, Kingsport, Kingston, La Follette, Lenoir City, Loudon, Madisonville, Maryville-Alcoa, Maynardville, Morristown, Mountain City, Newport, Rockwood, Rogersville, Rutledge, Sevier- ville, Sneedville, Sweetwater, Tazewell and Tel- lico Plains. The establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the erection of power dams along the Tennessee River and tributaries, will make these cities grow as never before. In fact, East Tennessee is the section to which more industries are looking, and coming, than any other similar section in America. ■ ■■■■"■■,,■:-: \:&m ":-- THE FULTON COMPANY Operating World's Largest Plant Making Temperature Regulating Devices Exclusively Page Seven
