LOWELL
Lowell at the beginning of the 19th century was but a village of 45 or 50 houses whose inhabitants were pioneers in the textile business of the country and who laid the bases for the city of 100,000 inhabitants which we find today. Lowell was incorporated as a town in 1826 and its immediate textile growth was so rapid that it was incorporated as a city 10 years later-the third city to be incorporated in Massachusetts.
In the late '80's, Lowell was known as "The City of Spindles" and today we find that name changed to "The City of Diversified Industries," denoting the diversity of products for which Lowell is known today. An idea of what is manufactured in Lowell may be gained from the following list:

The city is well served by public utility corporations, the Locks and Canals Corp., the Lowell Electric Light Corp. and the Lowell Gas Light Company, furnishing heat, light and power in good measure at reasonable rates. Ample transportation needs are furnished by the Boston and Maine and the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- roads. Quick freight service is afforded to the leading markets of the country and to the maritime ports. This service establishes Lowell as an ideal location for industries of every type. The city's transportation needs are furnished by the Eastern Massa- chusetts Street Railway, up to date street car and bus service transporting workers from their homes to the downtown streets and industrial plants with little inconven- ience. Telephone service is furnished by the New England Telephone and Telegraph Co. and the Western Union and the Postal-Telegraph Companies both are established here as well.
15
The city is served by three daily newspapers and one Sunday newspaper whose circulation furnishes news to an area of 25 miles around Lowell. The city's trading population is estimated at 250,000 persons, Lowell being the shopping centre for a number of towns and smaller cities north of Boston.
The city's educational institutions compare with any in New England, its public parks and playgrounds are well above the average. Its large Memorial Auditorium seats 4,000 persons and has received national recognition as a building of rare beauty. Hos- pital facilities are up to date and modern in every way.
As a tourist centre, Lowell annually receives many visitors on their way to the celebrated White Mountains. Its good highways and streets being a direct asset to those enjoying a vacation in New England.
Industrially, the city has tremendous advantages for the manufacturer seeking to relocate his plant or start in the manufacturing business. Its close proximity to the large markets in the east, its excellent transportation facilities, its labor market that is non-migratory and contented, serves as an inducement to any manufacturer. Its great- est asset today lies in its excellent supply of good water for power and process. Soft water is becoming more and more important in the industrial world to-day and in the Merrimack River, Lowell has an endless supply of water which compares favorably with any city in New England. There is plenty of available mill space in Lowell which may be purchased or leased at prices that the average manufacturer will find quite attractive and there is a willingness on the part of the city Government and the citizens in general to co-operate heartily with the present industries of the city and with every new indus- try that comes in. The city is seeking to diversify its industries still further and is reaching out a welcoming hand to industrialists all over the country.
Within the past five years, the Lowell Chamber of Commerce has taken a leading part in bringing up the industrial status of the community. This organization working in the interests of all classes of citizens, has established a confidence between the em- ployer and the employee and between the municipal authorities and the business men which works tremendously for the city's welfare. Its campaign for the industrial wel- fare of the city will be continued until every available square foot of industrial floor space which has been made available through the textile depression of New England, has been re-occupied. The city has been complimented widely for the steps which it has taken in the recovery from this textile depression and the Chamber of Commerce is in the main responsible for this recovery.
The Lowell Chamber of Commerce is desirous of establishing contacts with new industries everywhere and welcomes any and all inquiries about the city's possibilities. The industrialist, seeking a New England location, will do well to write the Lowell Chamber of Commerce at 100 Merrimack street, Lowell, Mass.
