Lorain Aims for Growth as Industrial Center
Lorain is described as the largest city in Lorain County with a population near 38,000 in 1920 and up to 50,000 per a recently published telephone directory. Principal industries include National Tube Company with about 7,000 workers, American Shipyards, National Stove Co, and Thew Automatic Shovel Co. The city is split into north and south sections, with a major steel district near 26th Street. Mayor George Hoffman, a Republican, leads the city. Residential areas near Lake Erie were hardest hit by a cyclone, and Lorain traces its name to Lorains in France with historic ties to Elyria.

Industrial boom looms near Lorain with huge land deals
A 2600 acre tract west of Lorain near Beaver Creek, tied to Columbus capitalists, was bought twelve years ago for $600 900 and may become a massive railroad terminal or steel plant. A rail right of way exists and two thirds of track was laid before halting. A 6000 acre American Tin Plate project south of Lorain between Elyria is projected to cost $10 million and employ over 12 000 workers, described as a bigger boom than previous gifts to Lorain.
