depends upon banking resources for the necessary operating capital. The tendency of business enterprises to consolidate for economies in production, overhead and marketing has created a demand for larger units of credit. As the lending power of banks is limited to a defined percentage of assets, the con- siderable number of bank mergers effected in the Pittsburgh district during the past few years testifies to the alertness of local financiers to keep apace with requirements of their customers, and to anticipate the further growth of the district. A recent business survey of the Pittsburgh metropolitan district furnishes figure proof that ‘Pittsburgh Promotes Progress” is not a mere slogan. Pittsburgh’s population is growing faster than Phila- delphia, Buffalo, St. Louis, New York and Boston. In the past eight years population has increased at the rate of 15%, according to estimates of the census bureau. Pittsburgh’s industrial production is appraised at more than one billion, five hundred million annually. The annual wage and salary roll of the Pittsburgh area is $£328,000,000. $1,125,000,000 is the estimated capital investment in the mills, factories, mines and quarries of the metropolitan area—showing an increase of about 25%, during the past decade. Mills and factories of Metropolitan Pittsburgh manufac- ture approximately $393,000 worth of goods per plant, leading the industrial establishments of almost every other similar community in the United States. Workers in Pittsburgh plants earn on an average of $1,444 a year per man, leading Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis and Baltimore.
