The gypsum industry is a growing one, and will apparently continue to grow for some time. Producers report better trade conditions for 1913 than for 1912. In ten years the production has jumped from 1,000,000 tons of crude gypsum in 1903 to more than 2,500,000 tons in 1913. Gypsum was produced in eighteen states and in Alaska. Eighty-two quarries or mines were worked, while the total number of mills reported in 1913 was 67. New York was the largest producer of raw gypsum; Iowa ranked second and Michigan third. 8 p.Additional Links
