PART III. INTERSTATE COMPARISONS 

 §1. Industries in Which Indiana Ranked First, Second, and Third 



Considering the States in the Union in the industries in which 

 Indiana ranks as one of the three leading States, we note that it 

 has first place in the manufacture of sewing-machines, and in wool- 

 pulling; second place in the manufacture of calcium light, cement, 

 saws, windmills, and carriage and wagon materials; and third place 

 in the manufacture of street railroad cars, glass, musical instru- 

 ments, children's carriages and sleds, and in distilled liquors. 

 Table 31 shows the ranking States in these manufacturing interests.
