The analyses made by the CommercialDevelopment Department further indicatethat a large proportion of manufacturedgoods in the United States is produced incities with a population of 50,000 or less andthat on the Baltimore and Ohio alone thereare 65 cities of 10,000 or more people prac-tically near the coal fields. Industrial plantslocated in these cities, states the report, onaccount of their nearness to the bases of rawmaterials operate at lower costs than thoseless favorably located. This is exemplifiedby one large metal fabrication plant thatchanged its location to the West Virginiacoal fields and was thereby enabled to lowerit costs one cent per pound less
