Bruce B^theridge of the Department of Conser\-alion and De. vclopinent. These figures, based on a auivey just competed by J. T. Anderson, in. dustrial engineer of the division of commerce and initustry of the Con servation Department, show that a total of 92 new industrial plants lo cated in North Carolina during this period while additions were built to 53 industrial plants already in oper ation. While many of these new' plants located in the state without any as sistance from the industrial division, the new state advertising campaign lias had a good deal to do with bring ing a number of these plants to North Carolina, Mr. Anuerson is con vinced. Some of these new plants were brought to the slate directly and solely as a result of the adver tising campaign and the effects of the division of commerce and indus try. Not Lured Ilers “None of these new plants were luro<i to North Carolina with prom ises of tax exemptions, free use of buildings or with any of the many baits used by some other states,” Mr. Anderson said. “These new indus. tries located in North Carolina be cause this state offered superior ad vantages, such as nearne’ss to mar kets and raw materials, mild climate, low maintenance costs, fair taxes and an adequate supply of native- born labor." A larger number of new industries located in North Carolina during the four months from May through Au gust than duririjf the previous four months the figures show. In this per. iod 51 new industries and 27 addi tions are listed as compared wfth 42 Tiew industries and 26 additions dur ing the first four month* from Jan uary through April. The list of new industries locating in the state shows that hosiery plants are in the lead, sin«e 13 of the SI new industries recorded for the second four months of 1938 were hosiery mills while 16 of the addi tions were to existing hosiery plants.
