SMITH California’s emergence as a center of manufacturing and other industrial activities soon _ invited the curious and the ‘covetous to her shores. San -Francisco had the enviable status of the main port on the Pacific Coast for raw and finished materials and items. Soon the founderies, canneries, wagon and carriage factories, potteries and powder plants, tanneries and textile mills were ’ advertising in the Eastern United States and abroad as well, for skilled craftsmen and laborers alike in all trades and at wage scales which would not be entirely unimpressive today. 1860..just one short decade after California achieved statehood..revealed that there were 1,450 manufacturing establishments within its borders, with a capital of $11 million, paying $5.5 million in wages and producing foods to the tune of $23.5 million! A really drastic change came about as a result of the Civil War, which was the “shot in the arm’ needed to boost business in the Golden State. Imports virtually came to a halt from Eastern sources but the demand for manufactured items certainly did not. If anything, the demand continued a oer to surprising propor: The State and its increasing population was beginning to realize that all the “‘gold” to be greater use of concrete and ano 9 reali tone was not that which petroleum products was felt in .

simply falling over its own feet, so to speak, in the attempts to be all things to all people all at the same time. Then came that “Great War.” If anything was to make the average manufacturer’s eye “bug out” it was looking over the shoulders of those responsible for the logistics of wartime. And ambitious, avaricious men took long hard looks at the picture presented and acted accordingly..in California as elsewhere across our nation. In 1919 the manufacturing output in California, as measured by value added, was $742,493,000 from a total of 10,282 plants employing 276,381 paid workers. Out here the principle sources of wartime economy were shipbuilding and oil refining, with food processing and related industry falling in close behind. The eastern states were stymied by World War I just as they had been by the Civil War when it came to supplying the West with many products..so it was up to the population of our state to develop new industries and ideas during and after the ‘war years. By 1929..the year of the great “market crash’’..there were more than 12,000 manufacturing plants out here with nearly 353,000 employees and an annual output ‘of something like $1.4 billion.
