Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Worcester, City of Prosperity: Sixteenth Annual Convention, National Metal Trades Association, the Bancroft, Worcester, Massachusetts, April 20-22, 1914 It is fitting that Worcester The Heart of the Commonwealth, of the Old Bay State, should have the honor and privilege of the Annual Convention. Here in this city and vicinity were born many of the inventors of machines, machine tools and labor-saving devices which have been a dynamic force in revolutionizing industries the world over. Here, also, is the cradle of invention, of ingenuity, in which has been nurtured those allied industries of the metal trades which have brought honor and dis tinction to Worcester as one of the pre - eminently great mechanical centres of the universe. More machine tool builders, machinists and metal trades people are to be found in Worcester and suburbs than in any other county on the American continent. Worcester is a name to conjure with when speaking of machinery. Fitchburg, Nashua, Barre and Hudson boast of splendid plants for the manufacture of machines, steam engines, saws and steam pumps; South bridge is famous for its optical goods, cutlery and shuttles; Athol for small machine gauges, tools, Vises, cutters and twist drills; Warren for steam pumps; Orange for sewing and the Dexter valve reseating machines; Winchendon for woodworking machinery; Gardner for chair making. Worcester has manufactured sufficient wire to girdle the globe a thousand times. Worcester has manufactured as many corsets as would girdle the world's women. Worcester could manufacture annually as many envelopes as would carry the world's correspondence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as "the golden era," the period from 1880 to 1920 brought unbridled growth, prosperity, and national note to the second largest city in Massachusetts. Worcester's population increased by more than one hundred twenty thousand people in this forty-year period, and the city produced the greatest variety of manufactured goods in the country. Worcester: 1880-1920 captures the expansion of the city through the images that feature a variety of subjects, such as the erection of the three-decker buildings in the early working-class neighborhoods, the construction of the new Union Station, and the vitality of the downtown stores and marketplaces. These photographs, most of which have been taken from glass-plate negatives, chronicle the rapid growth of a diverse economy fueled by an expanding multiethnic community.

Download or read book Endless Novelty written by Philip Scranton and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flexibility, specialization, and niche marketing are buzzwords in the business literature these days, yet few realize that it was these elements that helped the United States first emerge as a global manufacturing leader between the Civil War and World War I. The huge mass production-based businesses--steel, oil, and autos--have long been given sole credit for this emergence. In Endless Novelty, Philip Scranton boldly recasts the history of this vital episode in the development of American business, known as the nation's second industrial revolution, by considering the crucial impact of trades featuring specialty, not standardized, production. Scranton takes us on a grand tour through American specialty firms and districts, where, for example, we meet printers and jewelry makers in New York and Providence, furniture builders in Grand Rapids, and tool specialists in Cincinnati. Throughout he highlights the benevolent as well as the strained relationships between workers and proprietors, the lively interactions among entrepreneurs and city leaders, and the personal achievements of industrial engineers like Frederic W. Taylor. Scranton shows that in sectors producing goods such as furniture, jewelry, machine tools, and electrical equipment, firms made goods to order or in batches, and industrial districts and networks flourished, creating millions of jobs. These enterprises relied on flexibility, skilled labor, close interactions with clients, suppliers, and rivals, and opportunistic pricing to generate profit streams. They built interfirm alliances to manage markets and fashioned specialized institutions--trade schools, industrial banks, labor bureaus, and sales consortia. In creating regional synergies and economies of scope and diversity, the approaches of these industrial firms represent the inverse of mass production. Challenging views of company organization that have come to dominate the business world in the United States, Endless Novelty will appeal to historians, business leaders, and to anyone curious about the structure of American industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents for the first time an edited version of Harold D. Woodbury's «Notes on the History of Woodbury & Company, Inc.» This history offers a fascinating glimpse into the workings of a family firm that emerged as the largest commercial engraver in central New England in the 1890s. The company specialized in Bird's-Eye-Views of factories and industrial buildings, large numbers of which graced the walls of boardrooms and executive suites in the Northeast and throughout North America. A notable success for the company, in addition to its excellence in engraved letterheads, was its series of First Day Covers, pictorial impressions of commemorative stamps. The introduction to this volume focuses on printing and printing-related businesses in Worcester, Massachusetts: their founders, contributions to technological innovation, and contributions to New England's workforce.

Download or read book The Future of Cities written by David Schaefer and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1996 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Worcester Municipal Research Bureau, a private, non-profit organization which conducts independent, non-partisan research on issues facing Worcester's municipal government. In this book are lectures from the 'Future of Cities' series (winter and spring 1995) sponsored by the Worcester Municipal Research Bureau. This series examines the proper functions of local government and explores how these functions can be carried out efficiently and responsibly. The essays focus on the shift of power from the federal and state governments back to the local level. Attention is given to the main ideas behind this emerging trend, including promoting accountability and 're-empowering' the local citizenry. Each speech addresses a different aspect of the prospects and problems of urban life during the next decade. Speakers include Professor Marc Landy (Boston College Political Science Department) and John Fund (editorial writer at the Wall Street Journal). Discussants include (all political scientists): Professor Daniel Mahoney (Assumption College); Professor David Schaefer (Holy Cross College); Professor Dennis Hale (Boston College); and Professor Hadley Arkes (Amherst College). The essays in this book will appeal to students and scholars of political science, federalism, and local government. Anyone interested in the future of our government and its effects on us as citizens, will surely want a copy of this thoughtful and penetrating set of essays.
