Sixteen commercial radio stations make possible both mass and selective coverage. Three commercial television stations and an educational television channel are located in the metropolitan area, in addition to several commercial and non-profit FM radio stations. Transportation advertising, direct mail facilities and other specialized media are available. With all of these versatile facilities, a planned test campaign can be executed under condi- tions which few communities can offer.


TRANSPORTATION


Five separate transportation systems handle international and local traffic in the Greater Boston area. Logan International Airport gives direct access to Europe, Africa, the Near East, and all points in the Western Hemisphere. Boston's highway system is a vital element in the area's 'strip-city' growth, making possible fast and safe travel in and out of the various cities and towns. Three Class I railroads have terminals in Boston. The Port of Boston affords the shortest through route between Europe and the interior of the U. S. and Canada. And finally, one of the four sub- way systems in the U. S. is maintained by the Metropolitan Tran- sit Authority, with additional facilities covering 13 cities and towns.


Logan Airport, a few minutes from downtown Boston, has the world's longest commercial runway-10,022 feet-capable of serv- ing the commercial jet traffic of the present and future. Fifteen air lines have terminals at the Airport and contribute to the 286 daily arrivals and departures. Direct rapid transit service is op- erated to and from downtown Boston. Logan handles both interna- tional and domestic traffic as a dual-purpose airport, saving time and expense for passengers and cargo customers. Air rates from Boston are below those of many other international gateways. Ac- tivities of Logan Airport, the Port of Boston and other transpor-


tation facilities are coordinated by the Massachusetts Port Author- ity.


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- tialfreight savings when size and density of shipments are consid- ered, 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.

INTRODUCTION


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 laboratories are working full time to help gain the conquest of space for the Free World. Nose cones, propulsion systems, re-entry materials, 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 for the 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 serv- ices, alert to the area's great new growth phase. Power compa- nies 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 here annually.


The $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 FANEUILL 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:


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

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.

Before signing an order, see that it has the name of R. L. Polk & Co. printed thereon. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take payment for either advertising or sub- scriptions.
