The sale of potable waters that are not mineralized in the usual 

 sense has become a prominent factor in the industry of late years. 

 Suitable waters for the purpose are obtainable in almost every sec- 

 tion of the State, but the industry is mainly centered in the vicinity 

 of the larger towns or points convenient to shipping facilities. The 

 main requirement of such waters is that they be free from con- 

 tamination and any injurious impurities, in which respect they are 

 usually superior perhaps to the ordinary public supplies. Their sale 

 is extensive in some communities, and altogether the commerce in 

 such waters is greatly in excess of that of the medicinal class. 



In 1916 the total sales of mineral waters, as reported by the 

 springs listed below, amounted to 7,746,490 gallons valued at 

 $697,650. To the total value the table waters contributed $610,937 

 and the medicinal waters $86,713. The returns in 1916 indicated 

 sales of 8,636,920 gallons with a value of $745,530.
