Fog Manu&actur-
ing Advantages

1t seems almost Incredible that Wor-
cester should possess better adVant-
ages, both in regard to location and
transportation facilities, than any sim
liar city in this eection OF the country,
and that it should be the home of as
large number of manufacturing en-
terprises in proportion to population
as any city in the United States, yet
this is So and when one considers the
interests represented here he certainly
has reason to feel proud Of the place
as one of the great industrial, progress
sive, cities of New England.
The number of factories and manu-
featuring establishments of all kinds
both large and small, engaged in bust
ness in Worcester, exceeds 400 while
although wire, machinery, textiles
wire goods, bolts, nuts and rivets
skates, razors woodwork of every de
scription, Wrenches, clippers looms
shoes, boilers and engines. foundry
work pianos, organs, machine knives
and dies are the principal products
there are by actual count over 200
different lines of manufactures repre-
scented in the city so that i'm future
years the place viii not be dependent
on any one line of industry. Every
year small plants are established for
the manufacture Of some special ar
ticle. Many of these are destined to
grow and prosper until they shall he
come important factors in the citys
progress. The reason for this health
ful condition is found in the fact that
freight can be shipped to all points OF
the United states at rates as low as
from any other city, while abundant
factory sites are available on the li6es
Of the railroads, thus providing unsur-
passed transportation facilities. Anoth-
er important factor that is not general

ty contains about 16 900 volumes, and

tory Of Worcester and vicinity, the so
ciety looking up and laying great
stress on local matters while at the
same time it does not neglect general
history nor any phase of knowledge.
The Horticultural Library contains
about 2500 volumes, and has nearly
every periodical on its tables treating
of horticultural matters

In the matter Of dre protection. no
city Of similar conditions can boast Of a
more efficient or better equipped corps

merely to echo popular sentiment, for it

England that Worcester possesses a de-

The manifold advantages of Worees-

the unusual shipping facilities, are
such that it can accommodate an UNI
limited growth in point of population
and industrial life. Its nearness to the
great markets of the country and its
natural advantages should make il
the distributing center for a radius OF
hundred miles. The number of hands
now employed in its industrial estab-
