Since Boston is New England's principal port, transportation facilities of all kinds are excellent. Massachusetts has 8,900 in- tra-state carriers-8,100 common and 800 contract.


Major highways and expressways, already contributing so much to the area's well-being, are being constantly improved with new "spokes" and "rims" of the wheel-shaped highway system under construction or in the planning stage. Industries shipping freight by motor common carriers are in a favorable competitive position with producers outside New England.


New England's rate and tariff system often means substan- tial freight savings when size and density of shipments are consi- dered, and metropolitan Boston shippers frequently enjoy lower costs, for similar hauls, than competitors located elsewhere.


Railroad transportation is a $75,000,000 annual business in this area. The combined trackage built and maintained by the three railroads serving Boston is nearly 2,000 miles. Sidings directly supply rail service to over 1,700 industrial firms. Public delivery yards, less-than-carload freight houses, and special pick-up and delivery stations serve several hundred other firms.

INTRODUCTIÓN


The freight traffic of the New England railroads is well di- versified. More than one-half the tonnage carried falls into the categories of manufacturers and miscellaneous.


The Port of Boston is one of the oldest ports in the U. S. and is the principal seaport for the New England area. It is the main gateway to northern New England and it serves as the main distri- bution point for the commerce of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. Due to its location, this port affords the shortest all-weather, through route between Europe and the interior of the U. S. and Canada.


Principal imports handled in the Port of Boston are petrol- eum products, sugar, iron ore, wood pulp, wool and gypsum. Prin- cipal exports are steel scrap, machinery, lumber, paper goods, grains, and fertilizers.

SKILLED LABOR RESOURCES


Greater Boston's high percentage of skilled workers and the reservoir of trained technical personnel from its colleges and universities have made this the nation's center for electronic and industrial research activities. In addition to over 30,000 degree- holding engineers and scientists, Boston has the largest concen- tration of professionally-trained employees of any metropolitan area in the Free World. Filling the need for unskilled workers, female participation by both full-and part-time workers has grown rapidly.


Boston has an enviably low work stoppage record. The most recent estimate shows the percentage loss of working time is .06 -much lower than the national average of .61 for the same period. Over the past decade, Massachusetts has had the best record for labor stability of all major industrial states.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT


An immense investment to advance human welfare, com- merce, industry, and national defense now makes Greater Boston a world leader in research and development. "Research Row," on the banks of the Charles River, and many facilities along Route 128 and at other locations include all the physical and biological sciences, engineering, medicine, social sciences and others. There is ever-increasing research in space technology, nucleonics and electronics. Private industry in the area spends millions of dol- lars yearly for applied research and development.


The first nuclear research reactor designed for the research program on materials of the U. S. Army Ordnance Corps is now in "critical" status at the Watertown Arsenal. Scores of labora- tories are working full time to help gain the conquest of space for the Free World. Nose cones, propulsion systems, re-entry ma- terials, and a system for transmitting high-frequency radio waves from the earth to orbiting space platforms are among current projects. More direct and indirect space research programs are centered in Greater Boston than in almost any other area in the U. S.


New England industry also sponsors important applied and theoretical research projects at Greater Boston colleges and uni- versities. Among these is the country's first nuclear technology course forthe training of nuclear engineering technicians at Went- worth Institute. A $9 million laboratory and a center for Earth Sciences is located at M. I. T., and Harvard University is invest- ing millions of dollars in new facilities for research-teaching.


INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES


The powerful growth of suburban industrial parks around Route 128 and other Greater Boston expressways is only part of the broad industrial expansion in the Metropolitan Area. The in- town New York Streets section, with a $7 million newspaper build- ing and other new industrial plants already built, demonstrates that prime industrial land can still be found in the heart of the city. Other planned industrial parks are being located there or in Cambridge, just across the Charles River, and in other advanta- geous sites. In one recent year alone, three Greater Boston plants were among the ten top plants in the nation, in the annual selection made by Factory Magazine.


Forty-three industrial parks are now situated within the Greater Boston area, together with thousands of individual manu- facturing plants in downtown or suburban locations. Thirty-one new plants were announced and formalized by permits in a recent six-month period.


WATER AND POWER RESOURCES


Seventeen reservoirs with a combined capacity of 477 billion gallons give the Boston Metropolitan Area one of the world's pur- est and most dependable water supplies. The Metropolitan Water District serves 30 cities and towns. Other cities have their own supply.


Power, too, flows from an enormous capacity. Prime sources are Boston Edison, N. E. Electric System, N. E. Gas and Electric Association, the Boston Gas Co., and the Brockton Edison Co. Power comes chiefly from steam-electric generating plants sta- tioned near heavy load centers which are interconnected within and between utility systems.


The electric power companies are now expanding their ser- vices, alert to the area's great new growth phase. Power compan- ies in New England estimate that by 1970 over $1 billion will be expended to build new facilities.


Atomic energy also provides electric power for Greater Bos- ton. The 136,000-kilowatt Yankee atomic electric plant at Rowe, Mass., is a pioneer plant in the development of atomic energy to help assure abundant electric power for tomorrow.


CLIMATE


Greater Boston's climate permits outdoor work the year around. The area's average of 118 clear days yearly is higher than that of many other cities in various sections of the country. Grad- ual seasonal changes provide an always stimulating climate, with no dry or rainy seasons.


Boston has no dry season or rainy season; the normal. pre- cipitation for each month is three inches, occurring as rain or snow, distributed evenly throughout the twelve months.


The average annual number of hours of sunshine is about 57% of the 4.459 hours possible. The greatest number of hours of sun- shine recorded in any one month over the past 60 years was 390, or 86% of the possible, while the least was 81 hours, or 28%.


Early hardships suffered at the hands of rigorous winters by Pilgrim settlers still give some people the impression that all activity ceases in Boston during the winter months. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Modern construction methods permit a year-around program of building activity. Continuous outdoor test- ing activities are the rule for Boston-based research firms, while shipbuilding in several famous shipyards is scheduled on a regu- lar basis.


CONVENTION FACILITIES


With its historic sites and varied entertainment, its res- taurants and 100 hotels and motels, Greater Boston is a top U. S. convention mecca, booking at least one convention every day. Hun- dreds of thousands attending these conventions spend an estimated $25 million or more annually.


A $12 million Municipal Auditorium, under construction in the Back Bay Prudential Center, will be able to accommodate the space needs of 95% of the large conventions held each year in the U. S. The Auditorium will seat at least 6,700 people and will also. have an exhibition area of at least 150,000 square feet. The floor will seat 4,000 persons; the balcony, 1,800; meeting rooms, 2,450; and a small auditorium will hold 900 persons-a total of 9,150. Closed circuit TV will be available in the Municipal Auditorium.


Members of organizations visiting Boston spend many mil- lions of dollars each year for services other than hotels, taxis, restaurants, and entertainment; the market for all types of sou- venirs and other products prized by visitors is extremely large.


DOWNTOWN WATERFRONT FANEUIL HALL RENEWAL PLAN


The Downtown Waterfront-Faneuil Hall Area-can be re- newed to its highest economic and social uses through a program of action which will:


1. Open the city to the sea, by making the waterfront acces-


INTRODUCTION


sible again, to allow the people of Boston to utilize fully the harbor frontage for leisure purposes.


2. Reinforce the neighboring Districts -- the Government Center, Financial District, and North End, by eliminating the pres- sure of blight on these districts, by creating a renewed area from which they can draw new social and economic strength, and by permitting their expansion toward the harbor.


3. Preserve historic buildings and traditions, by halting the demolition of significant buildings, by renovating and conserving these structures, by adapting them to practical contemporary uses, and by continuing or commemorating traditions of early Boston.


4. Create a waterfront residential community, to meet the strong demands for housing close to downtown in a wide range of rental categories, at a location extraordinarily well suited to the purpose.


5. Increase visitor traffic to the city, by providing recrea- tion facilities, by historic conservation, and by creating special accommodations for tourists.


6. Strengthen the city's economic base, by attracting private investment on a large scale which will increase employment and municipal revenues, and by providing a new symbol of the resur- gence of the city and its port.


BOSTON'S FUTURE: UNLIMITED


Horizons move ever outward as Boston and its thriving fam- ily of cities and towns grasp the reality of their far-reaching mar- ket potential.


That potential is this major American community's highly efficient transportation system, soaring construction, and skilled labor resources. That potential is its diverse and vigorous manu- facture-its financial strength-its educational and cultural life that gives vitality to industry and to the individual.


Greater Boston grows. Greater Boston moves swiftly for- ward. There is an air of expectancy and high promise here-and of high reward for those who share in the adventure of tomorrow.

Power of Advertising


THE CITY DIRECTORY is the power that generates information for the buyer that he may know who deals in the product he wishes to purchase. If your business is not classified properly, and a display advertisement arranged to describe your business, how can you expect the buyer to trade with you?


ADVERTISING is the foundation upon which success- ful businesses are built. You must apply this to your own particular business.


ADVERTISING is the power of an idea multiplied.

IN ADDITION to names and addresses, your City Direc- tory contains much detailed information concerning the people of your community. In order to list this information certain symbols and designations have been developed which enable important statistics to be compressed into the smallest possible space. You will receive far greater benefits from your City Directory if you familiarize yourself with the symbols and what they stand for.


In checking credit applications, in conducting direct mail advertising programs, in planning sales campaigns, in build- ing prospect lines, and in scores of other ways your City Directory will prove of invaluable assistance.
