Full text: Distribution and production in the Philadelphia Area

in the United States. A manufacturer or distributor 
with a plant located in the Philadelphia Area may 
reach overnight by established trucking facilities, 
thirteen percent of the total population of the 
United States and twenty-one percent of the nation’s 
total annual spendable income. This in spite of 
the fact that the Area represents only seven-tenths 
of one percent of the total area of the country.

Railroad Freight Areas 
Beyond the overnight trucking 
area lies a vast territory reached 
by second, third and fourth day 
railroad freight service over the 
three trunk-line railroads serv- 
ing Philadelphia which permit manufacturers in 
the Philadelphia district to ship direct to virtually 
every point on the North American continent. 
By two-day railroad freight delivery from Phila- 
delphia it is possible to reach the principal cities 
in a territory embracing a population of more than 
43,000,000 whose annual spendable income is ap- 
proximately $40,000,000,000—forty-seven percent
