Why New England is Prosperous

| a concern which has long been established,
| and has become well and favorably known,
has the advantage over it's competitors OF
a less long and we'll established business
career. The same fact applies to business
centres and industrial, localities and it is
because of this fact that New England ell
joys continuance of the prosperity which
has made it one of the best and most prof
liable sections of the country in which to
| locate an industry.
Here were established the early indus
tries of the country, and for years this
was the centre of all industries. Gradual
ly as the country developed, population
increased, and new fields were opened up,
new industries We're established, and the
development has gone on from year to
year, until there are very few sections of
the country which have not established in
dustries, all of them the children of New
England, the parent of industrial enter

In the cotton industry, one of the first
and still one of the leading ones in New
England, there has arisen competition be-
cause OF the establishment of mills in the
| South and West but still New England is
| the great centre of the cotton manufac-
turing business, and there is little reason
/ to believe that it will not remain so for
long time at least.
The products of its mills are well known
! the world over and the reputation of its
manufactures has become 50 we'll estab-
! lished that it cannot be overcome Add
to this the fact that New England posses
/ ses the skill and ingenuity which enables
its manufacturers to keep in the lead so
far as new and improved methods and ma
chinery are concerned, and we are able to
/ Judge as to why New England mills are
/ prosperous.
In the iron working industries, while
New England is at IA disadvantage as far
as the production of the raw material is
concerned, she has the advantage in the
production of finished goods. In this, as
in the cotton industry, New England has
long established reputation for produc-
ton, and the quality and workmanship
stands at the head of the list. 50 it is
with all other industries, they have grown
up with the country and are identified
with its progress and development.
Long experience has taught the New
Highlander to be conservative in business
| Unlike those newer sections of the coun-
try, there have been no great booms sud
den developments OF unprecedented in
ducements to growth. The growth has
been gradual, but steady and healthy one.
Cities and industrial centres have not
sprung up in day. The enormous fac
tories, mills and shops have not develop
ed in month or a year. They have been
started upon safe and conservative plan,
many of them in a very small way; but
their growth has been steady and progress
sive, and the capital which has been in
vested, While not earning enormous and
fabulous dividends has been a source of
a steady and reliable income.
To-day New England presents to the
world the most thriving and prosperous
business interests in the Union with
reputation and a standing which is attract
ing the attention OF capitalists and bust
ness men looking for safe and sure invest
ments.
The wonderful developments of other
sections of the country, with the great
promise held out by the promoters, had
the effect to draw the attention OF capital
away from New England for time. but
the reaction has come, and the result will
prove beneficial.
Within the last few years. the tide has
set in toward New England Capital,
which sought investment in Southern land
schemes, western farm mortgages, and
the numerous other outside schemes is
now looking nearer home for investment
AS a result. the industrial growth of New
England the past two years has been un-
preeedcnted. New industries have been
established on every hand while the older
established ones have been enlarged and
improved.
Why is this, if not because it pays, be
cause industries are prosperous, because
investments are secure and dividend pay
ING?
1t is not a question alone of natural re-
sources and conditions. 1t is not alone
because New England is more favorably
located, but it is because We have the men
to manage tie business, the mechanics to
execute the work, the ingenuity to devel-
op, and the will and determination to
progress, and keep ahead of the demands
upon us, as well as the capital to back mp
our efforts. That is why New England is
prosperous. That is why New England
has the reputation she las, and that is
why it pays to invest in New England in
