Abstract:

Durham has a large variety of industries. Among the best known are the tobacco factories, which employ over 6,000. Textile plants employ thousands of workers. Other plants make sheets and pillow-cases, medicines, fertilizers, wooden boxes, and many other products. Almost all the industries are working three shifts with 90 to 95 percent of their products going into the war effort.
