CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRODUCING THE PRODUCTIVE
INTRODUCTION
Probably no city in the Commonwealth blends the old and new as well as does Beverly. Founded in 1626, Beverly has handed down to its present gen- eration a worthy heritage of tradition and history.

It may be truthfully said that Beverly today presents the characteristics of a modern city, while retaining the best from the customs and traditions of the past. Let us in brief enumerate the reasons why Beverly is one of the best cities in our Commonwealth.
