Although the great centers of lumbering are somewhat remote 

 frora Indiana, yet it is probable that a large number of wood-using 

 industries will always remain in the State. Many kinds of wood 

 industries will always keep closer to areas of dense population 

 than to the great lumbering regions, for extensive forest regions 

 cannot have a dense population. In the case of furniture-making 

 it will doubtless be more profitable to keep the factories near 

 the markets and transportation lines, and ship in the logs or dimen- 

 sion stock from the lumbering regions. 



Indiana is a broad gateway between the East and West and 

 through this wide opening between the Ohio River and Lake Mich- 

 igan the great continental railroads must pass. With large forest 

 areas to the north and south of us, this State will always have a 

 large number of wood-using industries which must be near great 

 population centers and transportation lines. 



Indianapolis, with its railroad facilities and abundant labor 

 and capital, is the leading Indiana center of wood-using industries. 

 This city is one of the great veneering centers of the United States. 

 Evansville is advantageously situated for wood-using industries.
