---

Springfield, Massachusetts was settled in 1636, as a result of the efforts of William Pyn- chon and a band of faithful followers who sought the fertile valleys in this part of the coun- try, for homesteading purposes. It was made a town May 14, 1636, and incorporated a city May 25, 1852.

The city and area have grown to a community having a population estimated to be 411,- 500. Springfield is 89 miles from Boston, 103 miles from Albany, and 135 miles from New York City. Immediately surrounding Springfield are numerous smaller towns and cities, in- cluding West Springfield, Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, Wilbraham, Ludlow and Chicopee.

Springfield has, since the last part of the eighteenth century, been continuously developing as a manufacturing center, although surrounded by communities agricultural in character. The industry of the community is of varied quality. The skill of workmen to be found here has developed the popularity of the community as an industrial section for the manufacture of many varied products. For the most part, raw materials and supplies are transported to the city. The location of the city nearly equidistant from the three large centers-Boston, Albany and New York-is an enviable one.

The rolling hills rising from the Connecticut River Valley provide excellent residential sections.

The prevailing meteorological conditions give Springfield typically New England seasons with charming summers and cold winters.

SERVICE INSTITUTIONS

Springfield is fortunate in having a group of public utility organizations which aid, in the development of the community. Under the municipality, there operates a Springfield Wa- ter Works the activities of which provide the community with excellent drinking water, piped to the city from the eastern foot-hills of the Berkshires. An excellent reservoir system of great capacity provides a flow adequate to care for the city for many years to come.

THE QUADRANGLE

The historical and educational center of Springfield. Located in the heart of the city, State st and Chestnut st rear of library. Here the latest books or the oldest paintings may be enjoyed by everyone. In the Quadrangle are located the Science Museum, two Art Museums, the Natural History Museum, the Planetarium. and the Public Library.

Springfield has long been recognized as a community in which the educational facilities are of an unusually high standard. The public schools' program is most complete and leads the pupil through the primary grades and junior high schools into one of four high schools of excellent standing and character. In the first-the Classical High School the curriculum is of an essentially academic character, providing for the continuance of education in the academic colleges and universities. The second-the Technical High School-is fundamen- tally an engineering school and offers courses leading directly to industrial work or into the higher engineering colleges. The third-the High School of Commerce-prepares the pupil thoroughly for a business career and also for entering into a limited group of colleges. The fourth-the Springfield Trade School prepares the pupil for industrial employment.

Freight rates prevail for the shipment of raw materials and finished products into and from the city on a basis which permits our manufacturers to compete with others in similar lines in other parts of the country.

SPRINGFIELD DIRECTORY-1954

Springfield has dwelling units for 47,414 (1950 Federal Census) families and has long been known as a community of home lovers. The environment which has been created is a re- sult of a mixed population, possessing many natural advantages and proving pleasing to all. Abundance of water power in the valley has caused erection of enormous hydro-electric sta- tions with the result that reasonable electrical rates prevail and all homes enjoy the use of electricity with its advantages. There are many community civic organizations, each of which was formed for the definite improvement of its part of the city.

CONSUMING POWER

Farm products valued at approximately $7,093,750 were raised in Hampden County in 1946 and consumed mostly in this area. $82,250,889 worth of stock and materials was used in our factories in 1945. Springfield is forced to import from outside all basic raw materials and depends on its skilled labor and native ingenuity in fabrication to maintain its industrial position.

INDUSTRIAL SITUATION

The latest available statistics for the Springfield arca show 304 industrial establishments making as many different lines, paying gross wages of $70,664,010, employing 20,691 people. Many of these factories manufacture products known the world over and spread the fame of Springfield into all countries. Westinghouse Motors and Bosch Magnetos, Smith & Wesson revolvers, Springfield rifle, Absorbine Junior liniment, Monsanto chemical products, and Mil- ton Bradley games and toys, Breck hair preparations and Buxton billfolds are typical exam- ples. Industry in Springfield is highly diversified though the manufacture of electrical goods and equipment slightly predominates in value all other lines. Skilled artisans can usually find steady employment in Springfield due to this condition.

FINANCIAL SITUATION

Though having one of the lowest municipal tax rates in Massachusetts, Springfield has been continuously developing without unduly burdening the public and has a total outstand- ing net bonded indebtedness of but $11,138,000. Economy is the rule of Springfield's admin- istration though large appropriations for permanent improvements are made yearly. Spring- field has five commercial banks and six savings banks; additional banks : two Co-op., one Fed- eral Land Bank. Due to its being so accessibly located Springfield was chosen as the logical location for the establishment in New England of the district branch of the Federal Farm Loan System.

RETAIL TRADE

While Springfield has a population of 165,000 estimated people, its retailers serve a terri- tory containing 461,116 population. The two main department stores of Springfield do an annual business in excess of $20,000,000. The large proportion of merchandise carried in Springfield is of a quality nature. Seventy-eight per cent of its inhabitants are native born.

WHOLESALE TRADE

Springfield is served north, east, south and west by trunk line railroads and it has con- sequently become a well-known jobbing center. Stocks carried in Springfield cover practically every well-known product manufactured in the United States applicable to the northern climate. Springfield is the distributing center for all of New England for many items.

CIVICS AND WELFARE

Of outstanding value is the work done by the City Planning Board through whose efforts a definite arrangement for the control of the future growth and development of the city is projected and maintained.

1954-THE PRICE & LEE CO.'S

Hospital facilities are more than complete, for the community is fortunate in possessing four hospitals caring for general cases, two hospitals maintained particularly for the care of maternity cases; and one hospital for diseases requiring isolation, erceted by the city at a total cost of approximately $750,000. Beautifully modern, a wing of the Springfield Hospital, erected at a cost of $2,500,000, was opened late in 1931. Springfield is fortunate also in being the home of the Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children for the whole New England area. Medical and surgical treatment may be had from many physicians and surgeons of re- pute. New Wesson Maternity Hospital open in Sept .. 1953 at a cost of approximately $2,000 .- 000. New Municipal Hospital costing approximately $6,000,000 will be opened soon.

Health and sanitation are carefully guarded. Through our school system the health of the children is given more than adequate attention.

Springfield possesses every type of amusement and recreation offered in cities of its size -theaters, dancing salons, boating, canoeing, golfing, tennis-all of these are available. Su- pervised recreation for children is made possible through the very efficient work of the Spring- field Park Department. which operates 146 public playgrounds, lands and parks covering more than two thousand acres.

THE CROSSROADS OF NEW ENGLAND

Springfield is the center to which tourists come over excellent highways, and through which they pass enroute to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, as well as to points of interest in Eastern Massachusetts.

Springfield is a trading center for a population estimated at 461,000. To the community are attracted these persons who seek adequate shopping facilities, excellent stores, fine res- taurants and hotels.

The industrial prestige of the city has been developed as a result of the skill of its workers in mechanical trades. It is in a sense an agricultural base, for here are located the Eastern States Farmers' Exchange, the Hampden County Improvement League, and many other agencies working co-operatively for the development of agriculture throughout all of New England.

Springfield is the Western Gateway to New England, and the most easily accessible city in New England from points outside thereof. During 1953. 22,150 persons attended 58 con- ventions held in the City of Springfield. The Springfield Chamber of Commerce operates a Convention & Visitors Bureau which actively solicits convention business and renders a max- imum of co-operation to convention groups meeting in this city.

ADVANTAGES AND CLAIMS

In the last analysis, Springfield is the only moderate city in the eastern U.S. that has de- veloped a balance of beauty, education, finance, industry. commercial and recreation.

"What You Should Know About Your City"

"The helpful kind of patriotism is the kind that grows out of a knowledge of one's town, of her growth, her people, her property, her government and ber needs. This knowledge develops, first, an intelligent interest; then, a sympathy; then, a reasonable affection, a wise and temperate jealousy for her good name and a wish that she may prosper and grow more beautiful; and finally, a desire to help her to become greater and finer, a bright and clean workshop and a home for the best of men and women."-John Cotton Dana.
