MANUFACTURING 
In only a few of the European free ports has manufacturing been 
developed upon an extensive scale. In some it is restricted or pro- 
hibited, and in others the area of the free port is not sufficient to 
encourage industrial enterprises. Usually only light manufacturing, 
which can be carried on in the warehouses or free port buildings 
without resort to extensive plants, is attracted to these free zones. 
There are some exceptions, as will be seen from the following informa- 
tion concerning the development of manufacturing at the principal 
free ports. 
Copenhagen.—A large number of Danish and other firms have built 
offices, warehouses, and factories on leasehold ground belonging to 
the free port company in order to make use of the opportunities 
afforded them of storing, manufacturing, and exporting goods without 
having their activities hampered by customs regulations. The char- 
acter and extent of manufacturing is well shown by the following list 
of industries, with the number of workers employed in each. This 
information was collected March 8, 1913, by United States Consul 
General Edward D. Winslow of Copenhagen:
