Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Worcester I wrote that part of the History of Worcester County, pub lished in 1889, that dealt with the Manufacturing Industries Of the City of Worcester. In order that it might be more available for reference, I have for a long time intended to republish it in book form with such additions as I might be able to make, and with an adequate index. A work Of this sort is never completed. It is like a painting which to the eye of the artist is never finished. But if we were unwilling to turn out any but a perfect product, little would be produced. I know that there is a lack Of proportion in what I have written, due in part to the fact that I have, as far as possible, adhered to the form in which the material was originally published and in part to the fact that all the information I desired was not accessible. There must be many mistakes, omissions and inaccuracies in what I have written. I shall be very grateful to anyone who will call my attention to them to the end that at some future time an adequate history Of Industrial Worcester may be written. There is nothing which adds so much to the stability Of a community as the presence of those who have contributed largely to its growth, whose lives have become a part of it, who have placed the stamp Of their originality upon it. This is particularly true where the life of the individual spans that of the community. Such instances, unknown Of course in the Older countries and now in the earlier settled portions Of the United States, are the rule rather than the exception in many parts of the West. Within the past thirty years have died many men who could have told us the story of Worcester's industrial growth from their personal knowledge of events and the account books Of some Of them would afford a pretty accurate tracing of the progress of American manufactures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Education, and Drawing as Its Basis: Address Delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, at Worcester, Dec, 28, 1878 "Two men I honor, and no third. First, the toilworn Craftsman that, with earth-made Implement, laboriously conquers the Earth, and makes her man's. Venerable to me is the hard Hand; crooked, coarse; wherein notwithstanding lies a cunning virtue, indefeasibly royal, as of the Sceptre of this Planet. Venerable too is the rugged face, all weather-tanned, besoiled, with its rude intelligence; for it is the face of a Man living manlike. Oh, but the more venerable for thy rudeness, and even because we must pity as well as love thee! Hardly-entreated Brother! For us was thy back so bent, for us were thy straight limbs and fingers so deformed; thou wert our Conscript, on whom the lot fell, and fighting our battles wert so marred. For in thee, too, lay a god-created Form, but it was not to be unfolded; encrusted must it stand with the thick adhesions and defacements of Labour; and thy body, like thy soul, was not to know freedom. Yet toil on, toil on; thou art in thy duty, be out of it who may; thou toilest for the altogether indispensable, for daily bread. "A second man I honor, and still more highly; Him who is seen toiling for the spiritually indispensable; not daily bread, but the bread of Life. Is not he, too, in his duty; endeavouring towards inward Harmony; revealing this, by act or by word, through all his outward endeavours, be they high or low? Highest of all, when his outward and his inward endeavour are one; when we can call him Artist; not earthly Craftsman only, but inspired Thinker, who with heaven-made Implement conquers Heaven for us! If the poor and humble toil that we have Food, must not the high and glorious toil for him in return, that he may have Light, have Guidance, Freedom, Immortality? These two, in all their degrees, I honor; all else is chaff and dust, which let the wind blow whither it listeth." - Sartor Resartus.

Download or read book Reports of the First Exhibition of the Worcester County Mechanics Association written by Worcester County Mechanics Association and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of the First Exhibition of the Worcester County Mechanics Association: At the Nashua Halls, in the City of Worcester, September, 1848 Another object contemplated in the organization of the Association, was that of an annual Fair, so soon as it should be apparent that such exhibitions would be reciprocal in their benefits to the Association and to the public. The Association believes that the time has arrived when such a Fair may be held; and to this conviction they are impelled by the great and important changes that have taken place in the community in which they are located, and of which they are a part. From an almost purely agricultural community, the County of Worcester has become distinguished also for the number of its Mechanical and Manufacturing establishments; for the amount of industry employed and capital invested therein and for the extensive variety and superior excellence of the products of genius and art. To encourage and reward meritorious effort, as an incentive to further advancement and higher improvement, in a field where much has already been accomplished, but where so much more remains to be done, is an object of paramount importance in the view of the Association and one, it is believed, on which the public is now prepared to bestow its favorable consideration. Thus regarding it, the Association ventures upon the experiment of a Mechanics Fair in Worcester, in the hope that it will be so well received and sustained by the public, that it will be but the first of a series of Fairs of long continuance, and of extensive and ever in creasing utility to those branches of our common industry.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leading Manufacturers and Merchants of Central and Western Massachusetts: Historical and Descriptive Review of the Industrial Enterprises of Worcester, Hampden, Hampshire, Berkshire, and Franklin Counties As a record of the manufacturing and mercantile industries in the principal cities and towns of the five counties covered by the following reviews, we confidently believe it will not only accomplish much toward their encouragement, but will also bring to the attention of many thousands of business men in other and remote parts of the Union grate ful and interesting information respecting the manufactures and general trade that flourish here. If there are qualities for which these people are distinctively noted above others, they consist in the pluck, energy, and ingenuity they have exercised in conquering honorable place, name, and good fortune for themselves, commercially and socially. It is workers of this sort that have rolled it onward to its present position. The avenues opened by the inventor, the manufacturer, the merchant, have been often indeed beset by obstacles, but these have been obliged to give way to innumerable utilities of inestimable worth and value. What though personal benefit may have been in the vast majority of instances the incentive of their endeavor? Their activity, their enterprise, their persistence, their courage have wrought the manufacturing and commercial successes illustrated and described in the following pages. The data given in them have been drawn from the most authentic sources, have been carefully collated and intelligently revised, and the utmost care has been exercised in Order that the information herein given may be relied upon as accurate. The reader will observe that while the largest and practically leading enterprises in the general lines of business are treated at some considerable length, many smaller and less prominent concerns are also reviewed for the simple reason that each one of the latter in its own way and in its own special department has contributed its share to the general prosperity and wealth of the various commodities mentioned. As intimated above, the circulation of this work will not be limited to those portions of Massachusetts of which it treats. It will reach to distant sections of the country, and many volumes will traverse the ocean and enter foreign manufacturing and mercantile houses, imparting to their proprietors a fund of information that cannot but prove novel and interesting.

Download or read book Worcester City of Prosperity written by Donald Tulloch and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 328 pages. 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 The Coming to Worcester for its Annual Convention of the National Metal Trades Association is an event fraught with unusual importance to Massachusetts and the industrial states of New England. Never before has this influential aggregation of employers of labor in the United States and Canada held its sessions in a city so small in population as Worcester. Never before has a similar body of manufacturers, nearly 800 firms employing over 300,000 people, with a pay-roll of $185,000,000 annually, ever met in this city. Never before in the history of Worcester has there gathered together manufacturers representing any one industry who have devoted almost a score of years to studying and solving the various intricate problems which engage the attention of capital and labor. No combination of employers in the world have lavished so generously of their time and thought and money in the education of the workmen in their craft, in voluntarily adopting measures to safeguard their interests while at work, to furnish them with equipment and shops of the most modern type and hygienic environment, to improve their condition of toil, to reward their efforts with the highest compensation possible, and make provision for their support and that of their families against sickness and death. Worcester is honored with the visit of the Metal Trades craftsmen. The Association has done itself justice in coming to a section of the United States which stands out pre-eminently as a machine tool manufacturing centre. Worcester County Mechanics greet the skilled Machinists of North America. The Heart of the Commonwealth beats warm and strong for you all. The Gray Eagle of Asnebumskit looks down upon you benignly and bids you welcome. Worcester has contributed in full measure of eminent men and women who have enriched the world with glorious achievements in all lines of human endeavor. Statesmen, scholars, scientists, inventors, journalists, humanitarians, manufacturers, philanthropists, merchants, farmers, mechanics, last but by no means least, have all added their quota to the greatness of Worcester. This volume will tell in somewhat abbreviated form how the Heart of the Commonwealth came to be a Mighty Big Workshop: how its throbbing, pulsating hives of varied industry are turning out and transporting to all quarters of the globe those sterling products which help to rejuvenate the world and make it Busier, Brighter, Better.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Worcester, and Its People, Vol. 1 Splendidly equipped in the local historical and gene alogical fields, Mr. Nutt methodized his work with wisest judgment, and prosecuted it with remarkable enthusiasm and industry. The results are presented in the following pages, which from first to last are his own work, with the slight exception of a very few of the biographical sketches. The illustrations were also of his providing, and he had seen much of the matter in page form before Death so unexpectedly called him away. The publishers had maintained business relations with Mr. Nutt for many years, and their regret in parting with him is most sincere. To their editor, his passing away comes as a personal loss, through their long association, which, beginning in a business way, deepened into a feeling of personal attachment. The gifted author, - skilled as antiquarian, genealogist and historian, - in this work has left his final tribute to the people of the famous city in Which he took a wholesome pride, and to whose traditions, history and destiny he was intensely loyal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Glimpses of Worcester and Lake Quinsigamond: With a Description of the Trolley Rides by the Consolidated and Connections The city has a fine water system, with a supply abundant enough to care for its rapid and future growth; is admirably adapted by its purity, for all manufacturing purposes, and is furnished to large users at a low cost. It also has an elabo rate double system of sewerage, which passes through a successful method of purification; and its other necessities as a residential city, its educational advantages, churches, etc., are in the first rank. From its early settlement, and its intense loyalty in the various epochs of disturbances, previous to, and during the Revolution, it is rich in historical matter, and has within its borders many places of interest. Perhaps most important among these is a bronze plate on the steps leading to the City Hall, marking, as near as possible, the spot where was read for the first time on Massachusetts soil, the Declara tion of Independence, the great document of freedom being read from the porch of the old South Church, which stood on this site, while the messenger, on his way to Boston, stopped to change horses.
