WORCESTER AS SEEN BY AN OUTSIDER
The last issue of the Commercial Bulletin has
the following very complimentary notice of
Worcester and its business interests:
Perhaps nowhere in the state is there greater
enterpriSing city. Almost everything, from the
smallest, and seemingly insignificant contriv-
ance which enters into the construction of ma
chinery, to large and complete engines and
mammoth machines representing heavy work
in mills all over the country, card clothing for
cotton and wooden mills, boilers, organ reeds,
etc, are made here on a large scale, besides an
almost endless variety of other productions.
As general thing manufacturers are busy,
and the volume of business for the spring has
footed up fair average with that Of former
years.
There are several new factories in process of
construction, old ones are being remOdelled and
otherwise adapted TO an increase of facilities,
and the outlook for a successful years work is
very encouraging.
The products of these factories, mills and
manufacturing establishments find their way
into all sections of this country, and are also
largely exported to foreign countries, Worccs-
ter-made goods ranking high in the scale for
durability, flush and nicely of adjustment Ii
would be hard to find more Industrious and
enterprising class ofmanuiacturers than thosee en-
gagedn this branch ofindustTy in the heart of the
commonwealth. No city in the Union possesses
better natural facilities for carrying on any kind
of business, being situated on the direct line to
New York and the great west and having unsur-
passed railroad facilities which connect it with
Boston and all points east.
Its beautiful scenery, wide streets, arched with
trees, neat and well arranged stores, &C., SC,
make it very attractive point to visitors.
Hotel accommodations too, are superior, the
city being the fortunate possessor Of five or six
public houses Of which any city might justly
be proud. The Bay State" is still on the top
of the wave in the estimation of the travelling
public, and is a house first class in all its ap.
pointments. The gcntlemanly landlord and
o6liging clerks are ever on the alert to make it
home in the fullest sense to strangers.
