Next Thursday, the Czech danc ers from Malin will provide the program for the Kiwanis meeting By ELMER C. WAI.ZEK ITI Financial Editor NEW YORK (UPI - American industry is on the move to new locations where taxes, labor, and transportation facilities can cut costs and make prices more competitive. Changes have been going on (or a long time with corporations changing plant locations as the traditional sites proved obsolete, taxes became oppressive or labor proved too demanding. The decade of the 1950s found the moves accelerating. They will speed up in the 1960s, according lo Leonard C. Yaseen, senior partner of Fantus Factory Locat ing Service of New York and Chicago. He finds a pickup right now alter a lull during the steel strike. "During 1J0O," says Yaseen, 'nearly three million workers will receive wage increases, already negotiated, of eight cents an hour. In addition state and local govern ments will raise taxes and float bond Issues to finance the addi tional $3 billion a year that they, are adding to Iheir budgets. These costs are being saddled on companies already hard- pressed by lower-cost competi tion from home and abroad. "As a result, they are caught squarely between humanitarian Farmers make up one-half of Formosa's population. .. , Why Pay More?

He cited several instances of big saving made through moving plants to new locations. One com pany with annual sales of $8 million was able to save $950,000 by building a plant on a new site, he said. Another found that its com petitor in a southern location had a big advantage in costs in a lower labor area. The differences in labor costs worked out to 83 cents an hour more than enough to lose its southern and south eastern markets. It is retaining Kyntus to find a new location. Moving a factory isn't easy, and Yaseen in his quiet way will tell you about the long, tedious investigations that must be made before a change is even thought of. There are literally hundreds of things to consider labor sup ply, power facilities, transporta tion of raw materials to and fin ished products from the plant, proximity to market, availability of utilities gas, oil, electricity, water, sewage, etc. There are others which are more difficult to measure such as labor productivity of the area. taxes ihiddnn and oilier), freight rates, workmen's compensation laws, zoning laws, lire protection. Hood history, accessibility, fuel availability, insurance and nihrr laws, attitude of officials of the urea, availability of medical serv ices, communications, climate. ecrcation facilities, schools, no- lice protection, and location of competitors. This list could he extended to :reat length. And all the items arc highly important, fur moving a factory is costly, and once moved it cannot be re-moved without risk of heavy loss. Fac tories themselves seldom hac the facilities to do this job of investigating. The Kant us firm, headed hv Yaseen, specializes in just that type of business. The firm does the investigating in every detail. This often takes months of pains taking study by staffs of exnerls in various fields such as engineer ing, economics, labor, transporta tion, and taxes. Over the years. Fantus has. accumulated myriad records on all communities in the nation with all their character istics and advantages. During the past 40 years. Fan tus had made locational studies lor 1.700 companies. Their moves, based on Fantus recommenda tions, have affected one million jobs, involved $-0 billion of plant investment and some $-1 billion of annual wages. The firm also onerales a spn arate division Fantus Area Re earth, Inc. which conducts studies in behalf nf slates, riiirc chambers of commerce, railroads and utilities. Fantus provides these ernun ,'ilh technical infnrmahnn nnri o blueprint lor action through its teams of specially trained experts. TWO. THE HARD WAY BUFFALO. N Y.
