 THE ROSE OF NEW ENGLAND
 Norwich is a picturesque New Eng land city, located at the head of tide- water navigation on the Thames river Its attractiveness as a residential loca- tion has given it the undisputed title of The Rose of New England.
 The manufacturing development of Norwich was largely due to it's abun- dant water power and exceptional transportation facilities. Nearly one half ofsthe water power of Connecticut is utilized at Norwich.
 In addition to the two steamboat lines to New York. there are two com peting railway systems-the New York, New Haven and Hartford and the Grand Trunk. each with it's separate express and mail service.
 The municipality owns the gas, cleo tric and water systems supplying the city, thus insuring the most favorable terms for these utilities. Two hundred cities were considered for location for new modern factory for the Thermos products and the American Thermos Bottle company decided that Norwich offered the most advantages in every essential detail of manufac- turing production, with ideal transpor- cation facilities both by water and ratl Manufacturers seeking New England locations should write the Board of Trade Norwich, Conn,
