Capital investment is growing rapidly in the area. Four years ago, the total was approximately $1,104,000,000 com- pared with $902,000,000 eight years ago and with $888,000,000 twelve years ago. Thus it is shown that in slightly more than one decade the investment has grown approximately twenty- five per cent. In few industrial communities is it found worth while to invest money as rapidly. It is reasonable to assume that this capital investment will show a consistent growth. This observation is based upon a natural assumption that so long as America grows the demand for Pittsburgh products will increase apace with natural con- sumption. Pittsburgh is strategically located for the economic acquirement of the iron ore and coal used in its major produc- tions, and has adequate transportation facilities, both by rail and by water. The natural advantages of the city are decided factors in its favor for the attraction of new industries, and the alertness of its leaders in recognizing the necessity for a diversification of its industrial output promises a healthy growth for the future.
