Recent Expansion in the Southern Pulp and Paper Industry

An outstanding phase of industrial development in the South during recent years has been the expansion of the wood pulp and paper industry. Expansion of this industry, although phenomenal during I936, I937, and I938, has been taking place throughout the past two decades, and indications during I940 are that further enlargement can be expected. A number of factors suggest, however, that future progress will be along slightly different lines.
