Industry Tab
Is Underway
The biennial census of O re­
gon Industry Is underway.
Manufacturing establish­
ments in the state are being
surveyed by the State Econo­
mic Development Division to
obtain information for the 1974
edition of the Directory of
Oregon M anufacturers.
Most firms will receive a
computer print-out of their
listing in the 1972 directory,
according to Edward J. Whe­
lan, director of the Economic
Development Division. They
are being asked to revise the
listing to reflect current in­
formation.
New companies established
since the 1972 directory was
compiled- will receive a short
questionnaire.
The biennial directory is
much in demand as a guide
to buyers seeking Oregon
sources of supply. It is also
used as a research tool.
