Highland Park 67 ILLINOIS â€" CAPITAL by Lester B. Cousy k (Illinois Chamber of Commerce) IL When one thinks of Springheld. usually. thinks in terms of . governors, legislators, lobbyists, bills and politi+ cal jockeying. He may feel that here, somehow, the black magic is made that vanishes the taxpayers‘ money or the other magic that brirgs conâ€" crete roads and varied benefits. j When 1 started for Springfield. a friend said, "The legislature is not in session now. How .can you get a story out of Springfield?" And I reâ€" plied, "We shall see." . Yes, . thereâ€" should be another Springfield, a Springfield that lies beâ€" yond the edge of the spot light and when you ‘get right down to it this Springfield that is not generally seen is the real Springfield. | Springfield Population I found in Springfield a city of 66,000 persons; about 75,000 if you count those houses and people hangâ€" ing on‘ the rim of the city just outside of the incorporation. I found a city that claims a population of 750,000 in its trading area. We‘ll accept that for a trading area is difficult to I found a city of approximately one hundred separate industries, surâ€" prisingly diversified and mostly ownâ€" ed by home people who have develâ€" oped them with home workers and hgme money. * The public service corporations may be exceptions in this strictly homeâ€"ownership but they are importâ€" ant. Here are a few facts that were given me: Sixteen lines of railroad radiating out of Springfield employ 1600 perâ€" sons living in the city; power, light and street railway corporations emâ€" play 600 more; the Central Illinois Public Service corporation, a $60,â€" 000,000 company with headquarters only in (Springfield, 400; the teleâ€" phone company 250 more. That‘s a total of 2,850 performing the busiâ€" ness of ,public service. > lby ‘Tells of Its Many Go Features Found by Him in ‘His Ramblings in ~This State C u-:fv;",% A tA T ban d C am "I â€" V e * lr,‘“‘\‘ &A To A * V BJ v‘““‘.,k’ . : S ‘:’!:‘kt" 09 | t m <+ Ca f " € ko 3 2 A o mR P ¢ i ‘\v e L ___ ’ w _ B ARB Delicious Dishes you will make From soups to saladâ€"roasts to cake. * A grocery such as ours can be of real service to you and your family.

Tx” the cheapest made has 17 jewels. This plant, headed by Jacob Bunn, presiâ€" dent, turns out 2500,000 watches a year and employs ‘1250 persons, the most of thenr highly. skilled: artisans. I found ‘the Sangamon Electric company which probably: made your meter. Besides its central factory in Springfield ‘where it makes its more delicate parts it has branch factorâ€" ies in‘ Toronto, Ponder‘s End, near London and ILO Osaka, Japan. â€" > The Sm&t'flcld plant . employs about 1000 workmen and the branchâ€" es. 600 more Robert C. Lanphier, general manager, smilingly mentioned that this great industry which sells its meters everywhere on earth that meters are used, was started on a $200 ‘investment in . a patent â€" just after he left college. _ + Built up as an associate company with the Illinois Watch company, it was developed and made possible here because of the skilled workmen trained and developed in the watch factory. . It is a commentary on the quality of workmanship put out by this Illinois city that Sangamo meters are standard on the ships of all navâ€" ies and are ‘used on all submarines. The output today is about 650,000 a year. It may surprise some to know that Springfield is an important life insurance center. Three: companies with headquarters here have placed more than $300,000,000 worth of life insurance. â€" Besides that there are several indemnity companies whose insurance runs into a big figure. J. H. Young of the American Bankâ€" ing company, assured me that a reâ€" cent checkâ€"up showed that Springâ€" field stands second among the cities of the United States in number of hospital beds in ratio to population. That would make it a notable surgiâ€" cal and medical: center. Plans are under way to form an artificial lake to be called Lake Springfield.

Within the Springfield . switching district," which means â€"within about three miles of the city, 8,000,000 tons of coal is mined normally each year This industry employs perhaps 5,0(13 men. For about four years now the coal industry has been in a slump but other industries of Springheld have absorbed the idleâ€"labor. (One of the biggest mines, elaborately equipped, is : taking coal from directly under the city. } Six months ago a stock yards was opened in Springheld, because it is in the center of one of the greatest hog and cattle districts in the world and ‘because there were â€"no ‘nearby markets: In the first six months more that $2,000,000 in cash was paid to farmers and 60,915 animals were handled. Farmers brought in animails from a distance of 60. miles by truck â€"another modern selling innovation. These animals, assembled here, are all fed, sorted, graded, and forwarded alive to other markets, An abbatoir is now being planned and next year, probably, slaughtering will be added. Building conmucttn' in | Springâ€" field for an average of three years, has run more than $4,000,000 a year, The business district reflects developâ€" ment, modern steel‘ buildings of "skyâ€" scraper" type going in for hotels:and stores. _ A city planning scheme is being worked out for a city of 120,000 persons. Last year the Illinois Powâ€" er company spent $1,500,000 ; in Springfield on building construction alone.
