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. Not until 1900, however, did Beverly begin to show a rapid growth. Since then it has doubled in population. Recent figures place Beverly slightly over the 30,000 population class.
