Identified With
Development
I ALEM and the surrounding territory
have developed greatly during the
past ten years. Hawkins and Roberta
have played a large ;part in this
development, having financed homes,
business property and Willamette
Valley farms to the extent of approx
imately ten million dollars.
This large sum of money has been
loaned without the loss of a single
dollar to any investor. This is indeed
a remarkable record and shows that
mortgage loan investments of this
community which we offer are ex
tremely desirable to 'those investors
who desire safety as the primary
feature.
Such nn enviable record
for safely merits your
selection of this institu
tion as your investment
headquarters.

But It Can Easily Find More Industrial Workers
Fully as Fast as the New Factories Can be Estab
lished or Present Works Enlarged Some In
structive Comparisons with Other Good Cities
Are Presented in Table 2, with This Article.
All Western cities have their Industries to build from the bottom from none at all.
They are ambitious to look as successful as posible. The temptation is often too strong to
resist to pad their claims.
But, while any city can manufacture LESS than its population will warrant, none can
produce MOKE. For it requires an approximate ratio of production to each thousand of
Factory Hands.
The claim of $10,509;000 of Factory Product Value for Salem at this time is the maximum
for its population census, even including some hands from the suburbs.
This does not stop the industrial advance. Let the Factories come the workers can be
called in if not here. But, it is wise to KNOW that Salem is doing well with its present size,
and should not think that proper credit has not been given to its Industrial Progress.
That this is true, look over Table 2 for a time, and keep it for reference in the near future.
The Value of Factory Product is Limited by Population
TABLE
2
'TABLE TWO is a Practical Illustration of the Fact that "the Yearly Value
of Factory Product is Limited by the Census of any city. This refers to
the Maximum of Value and not to the Minimum. Salem's Industrial
Product is now at the High Mark for the Number of people there are in
the city limits for Industrial Employment.

Siilem'8 11)20 Population Census was 17,097. The 23,000 Is the accepted estimate for the beginning ot 1925.
The Table matches the average number of persons employed in Factories in 1915
(normal conditions), their yearly pay and the value of annual product with Salem's
present record. This city has the advantage in higher wage rates in the payroll showings,
and also in the product values. But, on the basis of population, every one of the eight
places was from one and a half to six times the size of this town in 1920, they are scattered
over eight states, and are enterprising communities. Pasadena does not want Factories,
wants to be a fine residence town, but 55,000 people include thousands that MUST have
employment, and no American city can be so exclusive that it is able to grow without
industry and livings for its people. So, the Factories are coming whether the town wants
them or not.
'A million dollars worth of goods at factory prices is a mighty lot of output. Full justice
is done for Salem with a yearly total, even at present values, in the $10,509,000 now claimed
for the place. This should be one of the most prosperous industrial centers in the West,
for reasons that will be stated in the following articles on Factories:
