Fort Wayne Leads Indiana in Growth and Industry
Fort Wayne surveys its rise from a disputed elder state to a thriving hub, boasting major manufactories like Basa and Olda and a dense network of rail and wholesale trade. The city employs thousands, with $15 to $20 million yearly output, and warehouses diverse banks and papers while expanding its carriage wheels, lumber, and stove industries. Despite a dull general mood, its factories drive prosperity, supported by robust distribution routes and local media.
