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.

motives, which impel them to in
crease wages and stay in their
lumiliar localities, and the harsh
realities of the market place that
no longer permit them to pass
along increased costs to cus
tomers."
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
