LOTS OF LITTLE FACTORIES Aifcong 'qome people it Is the fashion to lament the dis appearance df.'Uie small' manufacturer. It is supposed that tho good old days in which the work of making commodities for thb orld'was done by a craftsmiln employer surrounded .by hiiitholpei'si'.hav itvne forever, " s. ".'?' " As a matjei' of fact, there'are still plenty of small manu ' facturing esUihlishments. A report of the national indus trial r)nference board says that 93.2 per cent of the coun try's rumufacturihg js done In 'plants employing fewer than 100 Workers each. More than 70 per cent employ 20 or fewer. , In the entire country there are 19G.2G7 manufactur ing concerns, which proves that still there are a lot of little local factories. Tho economic, sentiment seems to be that there are too many of these, Economical manufacturing demands the co operation of many workers backed by ample financing. Kor1 this reason there is a tendency toward increasing the num ber of corporations. There always will be a certain number of load factories which, because of limitations of demand ' for products anil of supplies of raw material, will not grow to large proportions. But the exjxrience of the past century has taught that bi; plnnts mean larger output, more goods and more work and niore money for everybody. The statistics show that about 'three per cent of the factories of the country turned but nearly three-fifths of the entire production. To' the community seeking more payrolls, however, the greatest opportunity lies in sponsoring and encouraging the small factory. , Half of Portland's factories employ less than fivo men each. But the small unit may grow and therein 1C3 the secret of future industrial wealth. romi.AM) mourn: roltTI.ANIi.
