Oklahoma Manufacturing Gains Lag Behind Nation
Oklahoma City October 2 1947 manufacturing in Oklahoma has risen but remains below the national average. Dr Stankey Clark of the state planning resources board notes value added from 1939 to 1947 rose from 102 million to 41 million with no recent figures, and 1948 shows an 18 percent rise over 1947. He cites oil industry establishments rising to 40 in 1947 from 34 in 1939 and food product value added up from 32 million to 75 million, yet Oklahoma's manufacturing share remains only 8.1 percent compared with 22.4 nationally. Clark calls for a united effort to lift the state’s manufacturing income toward a balanced economy.
