THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IS THE
CITY DIRECTORY
Because It Is Used The Most To Find Just Such Information You Most Wish To Have The Public Know
FIRST-what line of goods you handle. SECOND -where you are located. Pick up a City Directory anywhere, and almost invariably you can tell who the progressive, up-to-date merchants and pro- fessional men are. There are many brands of clothing, shoes, dry goods, groceries, etc., and some prefer one kind, some another. What better place to state your special brands than in the City Directory?

BROOKLINE
B ROOKLINE is a town of high civic standards, of beauti- ful homes, of steadily increasing size and importance among the cities and towns of Massachusetts and New Eng- land. Because of its proximity to Boston and its unusual advantages as a place of residence, it is destined to grow and expand much more rapidly than most other municipalities.
Brookline is one of the oldest municipalities in the Com- monwealth, having been a separate township for two hundred and thirty-five years, and for seventy-five years prior thereto a part of the settlement of Boston.
The town now covers an area of about 6.8 miles with approximately 90 miles of streets and about 180 miles of side- walks. The population of the town is about 54,000 and the report of the Assessors establishing a tax rate of $26 for the past year gave the valuation of the town as $158,978,500, including $145,564,800 on realty and $13,413,700 on personal property.
Through wise administration of municipal affairs by com- petent officials on a strictly business basis, Brookline has developed notable school and reactional systems, unexcelled police and fire departments, a water supply and sanitary system that compares with any community, and parks and highways that are among the best.
Geographically, the town is a part of the territory of the metropolitan city of Boston and in many respects is as much an integral part of that city as any other section within the same radius. Situated southwest of the central part of the original peninsula on which the old town and city of Boston is located, Brookline approaches in its nearest part to but little more than two miles in a direct line from the State House, while its most remote boundary is only about six miles away. The territory is oblong in shape and is a rolling country with many hills, the highest, in the western part of the town, rising to between three and four hundred feet above tide water. The town is surrounded on three sides by Boston proper or what are now sections of that city, and touches the city of Newton on the fourth side. It is entirely isolated from its county of Norfolk and most of the town boundaries have been adjusted several times since originally laid out.

1940-BROOKLINE DIRECTORY-1940
BROOKLINE
The publishers of this Directory consider it advisable and desirable to set forth the following paragraphs, in as simple and attractive & manner as possible, to enable the reader's 'of these descriptive pages "to comprehend as many of the outstanding features of Brookline as limited space permits. To portray Brookline's charm consistent with facts. We believe with John Cotton Dana, the great librarian, that "Good citizen- ship springs from a knowledge about one's own community." The teachings of the City Map and the City Directory about localities, districts, street locations, street changes, growth of sections and general city changes are of great importance to property owners, old residents, new residents and school children. Racial character- istics of names in the Directory enable the consultant to gain a very comprehensive knowledge of the inhabitants of the city and many other educational facts. Notable men all through history have contributed their philosophy as to the value of knowledge about the home town. Here is one from Abraham Lincoln: "I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him." In studying the following remember that the Brookline City Directory dis- seminates this information far and wide where this Directory represents Brookline in the Free Directory Library Exchange System of North America. The Brookline City Directory, with nearly 700 closely printed pages, is the City of Brookline in book- form; its family and social life, business and industrial life, is portrayed in great detail.
LOCATION-Brookline is noted as the largest town with town government in" the country. It has tenaciously clung to this form of government, surrounded as it is by cities, because there is a belief here that it is F B TON the most democratic form existing anywhere today. AR It lies close to the heart of the Metropolitan District BROOKLINE of Massachusetts. It is impossible to tell when enter- ing and leaving Brookline because of the density of population and homes and business places filling it to RIVER FOUNDED 1630. the brim. It is less than five miles to the heart of Boston and on three sides is bordered by Boston. On the west it is bordered by Newton. It is 37 miles to Worcester, 5 miles to Cambridge, 40 miles to Provi- MUDDY dence, 85 to Springfield, 250 to New York, 115 to INCORPORATED 1705 Portland, 85 to Concord, 100 to Hartford, 249 to Ban- gor, 241 to Montpelier, 180 to Albany, 450 to Wash- ington, 1025 to Chicago, 160 to White Mountains.
POPULATION-The growth of Brookline in popula- tion has been fairly rapid and steady for many years. The estimate in advance of the 1940 census not yet completed is around 52,000. In 1910 there were 27,792 residents here, in 1920 census 37,748, in 1930 cen- sus 47,490. There are 11,489 families; 3,720 home owners. 66.8% of population is white, 32.8% foreign born, 3% negro. Population 1800 was about 605 and 1900 had grown to 19,305. 1790 first census 484.
TOPOGRAPHY-Brook- line has a very beautiful terrain, a rolling land with many wind- ing streets to fit the landscape, beautiful homes on high spots

afford a picturesque beauty not often found in urban communities. It covers 6.81 square miles. The altitude runs from 17 to 359 feet above sea level. There is no waste land in Brookline, it is all adaptable for residence and business use. The main thoroughfares run over hill and dale through business and residence sections to the various squares that make Brookline an unusual town. There are 85.97 miles of streets.
HISTORICAL - For 75 years from 1630 to 1705 the territory comprising present Brookline was a part of Boston and was re- ferred to as "Muddy River" and "Boston Commons." In 1686 petition was made to separate it from Boston, but not until 1705 was it granted when it became Brookline. Places of inter- est are as follows: Edw. Devotion House, 347 Har- vard Street; Sewall Stearns House, 265 Harvard Street; Punch Bowl Tavern, 97 BROOKLINE, MAIBACHLELITE, THUM ABOVE THE ROAD, FIVE MILES FROM HUSTON. Washington Street; House built by Zabdiel Boylston, BROOKLINE IN THE EARLY EIGHTEENTH CENTURY physician; Isaac Gardner homesite, 511 Chestnut Hill Avenue; Theodore Lyman House, 105 Heath Street; "Richards Tavern," Heath Street at northeast corner of Hammond; Country Club, 191 Clyde Street; "Faulkner Farm," 280 Newton Street; Mt. Walley estate, 55 Mt. Walley Avenue; "Weld," 64 Avon Street; Goddard's Homestead, 235 Goddard Ave- nue; Davis-Cabot-Goddard House, 215 Warren Street; site of Homestead of Peter Aspinwall, 89 Aspinwall Avenue; site of John Sharp House, 124 Harvard Street; site of Griggs Farm about 555 Washington Street; site of Dr. William Aspinwall; site of First Parish House, 371 Walnut Street. In 1785 there were 50 families in town. In 1740 there were 61 dwellings in town. First cemetery on Walnut Street. It is probable that the name of Brookline was taken from Judge Sewall's farm called "Brookline." At the beginning of the century there were about 50 families and a population of 300.
INDUSTRIAL-Brookline is not an industrial town. It has always been one of select residence. However there are activities that should be mentioned in connec- tion with a complete coverage of Brookline. Greeting cards, knitted fabrics, automo- bile bodies, nautical instruments, printing and publishing, confectionery, etc., are cov- ered in the products made here. Brookline is well placed for manufacturing, the labor market of the great Metropolitan District is at the disposal of Brookline em- ployers when wanted. If it becomes desirable to develop Brookline's resources of manufacturing possibilities, it can well be- come an industrial center.
COMMERCIAL-There are 341 re- tail stores in Brookline, having 246 pro- prietors, with 2,035 employes, with a pay- roll of $2,423,766. Annual sales $18,765,- 315. There are sixteen major products dis- tributed. There are 4 wholesale establish- ments with 70 employes, proprietors and officials. Payrolls of $135,804. Annual sales of $1,855,358. Brookline has about 2 miles of store frontage mostly concen- trated in Brookline Village district, Cool- idge Corners, Harvard Square, Washing- ton Square, Washington Street. Modern transportation has more or less scattered the mercantile business of Brookline into neighborhood distribution. There are nearly 300 professional offices. The trad- ing population is over 75,000.
