’ 50 0 — 2,750,000 ..¢ (119 cities and towns)

Within 500 miles of Pittsburgh is 57.19, of the population of continental
S. and 47.7% of the population of the Dominion of Canada.
Within 80 miles of Pittsburgh the population (1,800,000) equals the
combined population of Arizona, Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico and
Wyoming.
The fact that our city is within easy reach of so great a percentage of
population, in addition to the fact that it is adequately served by many
major railroads, supports the right of Pittsburgh to expect consistent growth
of its manufacturing and mercantile establishments.
