In three years the region created 150 new establishments, 76 furnaces, 52 implement factories, 300 machine shops and foundries, and over 20 000 miles of railroad capacity with car and locomotive works. Canning factories and other products use southern fruit and raw materials, marking substantial prosperity and a shift toward independent, symmetrically developed nationhood.
