His calculation, based on observa-

Prosperity Founded on American
Tobacco
America had an important part In
building up Glasgow's might. Just as
trading In the spices OF the East made
Venice wealthy. so trading In tobacco
from the American colonies brought
great wealth to Glasgow. The profits
were put into more ships and the city
soon was independent OF America and
was trading lucratively with the whole
world.
Enthusiastically, It might be said that
Glasgow made the steam engine. and
the steam engine made Glasgow.
James Watt made his great inven-
ton at Glasgow university. A few
years after Robert Fulton's 'Cler-
mont had made its first trip on the
Hudson, the first steamboat in Europe
was operated on the Clyde at Glas
cow. Coal and iron ore were develop
ed near by. Blast furnaces and ma
chine shops came. Now Glasgow, hav-
ing made her river, built her ships,
equipped them with made in-Glas-
cow machinery, and bunlered them
with Glasgow coal, sends them to the
ends Of the earth to reap profit for
the old home town.
