It is true that, particularly in recent years, North Andover as a community has undergone many changes, and the promise of the future for your typically New England town can be evidenced by the construction now underway of the muilti-million dollar Western Electric Company plant.
Qualities other than economic prosperity, however, have marked throughout the years North Andover and its citizens. The growth of its educational facilities and its ever-increasing em- phasis on religious and civic activities presently does, and has over the years, distinguished North Andover as a community which has achieved the highest traditions of Christian Americanism.
It is my deep and confident hope that in the centuries ahead, North Andover will continue to grow and prosper as it has in the past. Again, my sincere felicitations to you and all the citizens of North Andover on the celebration of North Andover's Centennial Year.

COMMITTEE: JUDICIARY
THOMAS J. LANE 7TH DIST., MASSACHUSETTS
Congress of the United States House of Representatives Washington, D. C.
April 22, 1955
Friends and Neighbors of North Andover:
You have abundant reasons to be proud, and happy, and confident, as you celebrate the 100th Anniversary of North Andover as an incorporated Town.
Proud ... that some of the earliest colonists preferred this location for their brave adventure in freedom.
Happy ... with your glowing present, as new homes, new schools, and new industries single out North Andover as a good and progressive place in which to work and live.
Confident ... because the great traditions of your past nourish you with the pioneering spirit that assures a most promising future.
As your Representative in the Congress of the United States, I bring you the Nation's congratu- lations.
To a fine community ... that is a model of the virtues and accomplishments that we value as Americans.
Sincerely yours, Thomas Jane
Statistically Speaking
The town of North Andover is situated in Essex County in the northeastern section of Massachusetts. It nestles along the southeastern shore of the Merrimack River, and the eastern shore of the Shawsheen River. It is bordered by Andover, Lawrence, Methuen, Haverhill, Box- ford, Middleton and North Reading, and lies geographically 24 miles north of Boston, 33 miles south of Manchester, N. H., and 243 miles from New York City.
North Andover covers 26.63 square miles of typically beautiful New England countryside, with several ponds and Lake Cochichewick, embracing 560 acres, source of the town water supply. The town is long and relatively narrow in contour, with several prominent hills of around 300 feet elevation. There is good textured soil, moist and well adapted to agriculture in many parts. Elevation above sea level is 100 feet at the town building. The latitude of North Andover is 42 degrees, 40 minutes, and the longitude is 71 degrees, 7 minutes.
A population of 8,485 was recorded in the 1950 census. There has been a considerable increase since that year, and the town appears to be on the threshold of further growth. According to the 1950 figures, the density of population is 319 persons per square mile.
Registered voters as of September, 1954, totalled 5831. In the 1954 primaries, 1561 voters declared themselves Republicans, and 923 declared themselves Democrats.
A portion of the Harold Parker State Forest is located in North Andover, with outdoor recreational resources available to all. The town itself maintains several parks, playgrounds and a bathing beach.
The town operates under the town meeting form of government and is a part of the Seventh Massachusetts Congressional District, the Fourth Essex State Senatorial District, and the Fifth Essex State Repre- sentative District.
Latest available figures indicate that the town's per capita valuation is about $100.00 above the state average for communities with a popu- lation of,5,000 to 10,000, and the per capita tax levy about $4.00 less than the state average for the same group. The pupil-teacher ratio in the public schools is 26.6 as against a state ratio of 26.8, and the average expenditure per pupil is about $13.00 less than the state average. The average estimated cost of new dwellings in North Andover is $500 above the state average.
The last available complete figures (1952) show 105 firms doing business in town, employing 2,274 persons, with an annual payroll of $7,675,000.
There are approximately 253 retail trade establishments in North Andover. There are overall excellent transportation facilities by rail, bus, auto-truck, and air, connecting to anywhere in the world, and ocean travel facilities easily accessible. The Lawrence Muncipal airport is situated in North Andover.

Centennial Year 1955
To the Citizens of North Andover
One hundred and twenty years ago, our company was established on Cochichewick Brook and making all kinds of machinery and supplies for woolen mills. Skilled mechanics were required, and as business increased, more and more of them were attracted here and the new "machine shop village" grew and prospered.
Such men, then as now, must be intelligent and able and were the best kind of material from which to develop a new settlement. At the Shop today, are many of the grandsons and great grandsons of the men who founded and who spent their life in our business, proud of their ability to turn out good machinery, and happy to pass on their skill and know-how to their children and their children's children.
Throughout the years, the Company has done all in its power to promote the best interests of the Town, and the constant cooperation of all has been exceptional. We are thankful for the skill and industry and the always ready help of our citizens who have successfully solved the many' problems of the past and together we look forward to the future with hope and courage.
With best wishes from the
DAVIS & FURBER MACHINE COMPANY
