Illustrating the growth of Dallas as a
wholesale and jobbing center the business
in these lines in 1917 was $262000000 and
in 1918 $300000000.
Dallas retail business in 1919 is placed
at $250000000.
Dallas Becoming Manufacturing Center.
While the 1920 Federal Census of Manu-
facturers will not be completed until this
fall a partial survey made by the Chamber
of Commierce indicates that the value of
goods manufactured in Dallas in 1919 was
more than $100000000. The last Federal
industrial census showed that with 412 fac-
tories and an output of $31065073 Dallas
led the State in manufacturing in 1914.

is considerably in advance of the rate for
1919 when 550 new concerns located here
during the entire year. Among the concerns
locating in Dallas this year are some of the
largest wholesale and manufacturing enter-
prises that have entered the South.

State's office in Austin show that up to
June 1 1920 of 534 out-of-state corpora-
tions doing business under permit in the
four larger cities of Texas 276 had their
headquarters in Dallas. The proportion of
foreign corporations doing business in
Texas under State charter shows a similar
proportion of concerns with headquarters
in Dallas. Substracting oil companies from
the number of foreign corporations operat-
ing under permit in the four principal cities
of Texas Dallas has 242 of the 389 strictly
commercial corporations.
Dallas' Building Program.
Two reasons are given for a larger num-
ber of new concerns locating in Dallas in
1920 than in 1919. One is that a larger num.
