Chemical plants on the Ohio River banks draw pure, high quality rock salt from deep beneath the surface. The salt is ideal for the manufacture of chlorine and caustic soda, important ingredients in a wide variety of chemical products. Columbia Southern, Allied Chemical, National Aniline and Mobay Chemical are among the major chemical companies now operating in the Ohio Valley. In the past three years, chemical-plant construction in the WWVA area has passed the $100-million mark.

Here is the world's largest stripping shovel operated by the Hunna Coal Co. New coal processes now make Ohio Valley power available at prices competitive with Hydraulic power. Projected underground mines fan out for 30 miles from the Wheeling area.
