Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hamilton, the Birmingham of Canada With that end in view every effort has been put forth to give to the traveler an attractive Souvenir, with a brief review of the products and resources of Canada in general, and of this city in particular, so that capital and labor in the outside world may be able to judge and profit by information imparted by a recital of facts. It has been the aim of the writer to give faithfully an outline of Hamilton asit is to-day, and avoid the customary review of what it was so many years ago. In nearly every new town or city in the West, especially in the United States, very rapid strides have been made in a few years, and to boom the town has become a perfect science in the hands of skillful land agents - all good in its way - and generally starting out with "This City eight or ten years ago was a complete wilderness, etc., etc., and now it has a population of, etc., etc., and is, etc., etc., and must becomethe, etc., etc., etc. We rather take the ground that Hamilton, has for many years been of steady growth, with no over-speculation, less failures, and less depreciation than any city in America; and its affairs to-day are on the most solid basis, with the most complete water works and sewer systems, both gas and electric lighting and an excellent electric railway to all parts of this town; and by both rail and water has direct communication and traffic with all parts of the world. Manufacturing almost every article required for use in the Dominion, Hamilton is the great centre for skilled labor, and for public and high school education ranks first in Canada.
