Excerpt from Condensed Guide to Certain Historic Places in Boston and Vicinty: For the Use of the Members of the American Library Association During the Conference June 20 to 27, 1921 Pulp and paper-making is New England's third largest industry. Maine leads, with the largest newsprint and chemical pulp mills in the country, while Massachusetts provides quality in its high-grade writing papers, and incidentally manufactures at Dalton, in the Berkshires, all of Uncle Sam's banknote paper. Providence is the first jewelry city in the country, while Rhode Island and Massachusetts together turn out 44 per cent of the country's annual output. Meriden, Conn., is the country's silver ware headquarters. There are no higher grade edged tools than those made in New England. Connecticut produces one-half the brass, bronze, and copper goods, over one-half the firearms, and nearly one-half the clocks of the entire country. At New Britain, Conn., is the largest cutlery factory in America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
