Preface

In offering this book to the public the aim of the publishers has been to present in a concise manner the principal events in the history of this section of the State, and a brief review of its leading business interests.

In the following pages will be found descriptions of the immense manufacturing establishments, to whose influence Worcester owes much of its fame as a manufacturing centre. We doubt if there is a section of New England, with the same population, whose manufactures are so celebrated the world over, as are those of Worcester. The financial institutions and wholesale and retail houses described in this work are also leaders in their particular lines, and their push and enterprise is rapidly extending the influence of this section of the State as a great trade center.

In conclusion, we beg to extend our hearty thanks for the liberal patronage this work has received. Our advance orders have" necessitated the printing oi ten thousand copies to supply the demand.
