Paper manufacturing was the chief business of the town in the early days. Here, in 1788, John Boies, taking advantage of the waterpower privileges on the Charles, built a paper mill. This was soon followed by similar mills at the western and eastern boundaries of the town. In 1812 came the Boston Manufacturing Company, famed the world over as the first complete cotton mill to include both spinning and weaving by power under one roof. The mill today makes the highest grade of cotton goods, including the famous Gilbrae ginghams. It operates 2,000 looms with a daily capacity of thirty miles of cotton cloth.
As a complement to the great cotton industry, Waltham has a bleaching piant which is the oldest, and one of the hnest, in the country, founded in 1820 and located on the
9
Charles River. This bleachery has a capacity of twenty- five tons of cotton cloth per day, and employs 275 people. Its specialties are book clothes, shoe linings, and ducks of all kinds.
Waltham is often familiarly called the "Watch City" because for years the making of fine watches was its principal industry. The Waltham Watch Company, now one of the largest manufacturers of watches in the world, was the first to make fine watches by machinery. In Waltham, too, kero- sene was first refined and made available for household and commercial use.
There are 114 factories engaged in the manufacture of watches, clocks, knit goods, precision machinery, furniture, canoes, enamel ware, jewel bearings, plumbing supplies, yard goods, paper, iron and brass castings, traffic signs, die stuffs, window frames, ice cream equipment, optical goods, paper tubes, automatic irrigation systems, dairy and poultry food, post exterminators, mica products, electrical switches, batteries, sales books, loose leaf account systems, paper box machinery, grinding wheels, rivets, builders' finish, lacquer chemicals, gauges, patent leather, oil burners and rayon metering pumps, also hundreds of other products.
Although Waltham has long been known throughout the world as the home of high grade industries engaged in the manufacture of quality products, it has always maintained its position as an important agricultural center. Here are located the headquarters of the Middlesex County Farm Bureau, and the Federation of Farm Bureaus. The experi- mental station of the Massachusetts Agricultural College was transfered to this city some years ago.
Waltham stores are well stocked and well managed, and carry a complete range of merchandise at prices as favorable as any in the large centers.
There are two fine and progressive commercial banks, with a combined capital and surplus of over $1,000,000 and deposits of over $13,000,000. The Waltham National Bank, the older of the two commercial banks, founded in 1836, has a capital and surplus of over $450,000. The Waltham Trust Company, organized in 1903, has resourses of over $8,000,000. Both of the commercial banks are inem- bers of the Federal Reserve System. In addition to these, Waltham has a Savings Bank seventy years old with deposits of nearly $8,000,000 and 15,000 depositors. There are two co-operative banks: the Waltham Co-operative Bank, which was organized forty-eight years ago, and the Watch City Co-operative Bank, incorporated in 1914.
There are nineteen church congregations, also numerous philanthropic societies. Every leading fraternal society has at least one branch in the city, while some have more than one. The stranger in the city will find here to welcome him those affiliated with his own organization. Three theatres, attractive in their appointments, present entertainment of a high grade. There are three hospitals, and in addition to these, there is the excellent Waltham Training School for Nurses.
The superior water supply of the city is derived from driven weils fed by underground courses, but in case of need the city can tap the Metropolitan system at a comparatively
10
small expense. Practically all of the residential and business districts are connected with the sewer, of which there are now 51.61 miles. Disposition of the sewage is made through the South Metropolitan system. The tax rate in Waltham is among the lowest in the cities of Massachusetts. This has not been brought about by excessive valuations. The val- uation of the city for 1928 was $55,184,450.
Five thousand pupils are enrolled in the twenty-two public schools. The Junior High School buildings are of the modern type, each with a spacious auditorium extensively used for community purposes. Besides its public schools, Waltham has three parochial schools, two of them extending through high school grades. There are also two private schools-the Waltham Schools for Girls, and the Mount Prospect School for Boys.
With parks, playgrounds and other facilities for outdoor recreation, Waltham is bountifully supplied. In the center of the city there is an unusually fine Common. Prospect Hill Park is a natural beauty spot such as can seldom be found within walking distance of a busy city. The Cornelia Warren Park, lying between Waltham and Waverley contains 67.78 acres, largely woodland. The Girl Scout headquarters, are housed in the spacious mansion on Cedar Hill, left for the pur- pose by Miss Cornelia Warren. There is also the High School Athletic Field, and ten active playgrounds competently supervised and with an efficient corps of instructors. The Charles River, with its facilities for boating and canoeing in the summer, and ice sports in the winter, has long been famed as a pleasure stream in New England.
For the motor enthusiast, Waltham is an ideal center. Many main thoroughfares converge at Waltham Common, giving a choice of routes to the Berkshire Hills, Cape Cod, or the White Mountains.
Waltham has an excellent supply of both skilled and un- . skilled labor. Much of this population is native New England stock with a permanent residence in the city. Fire hazard and insurance rates are low, land values and rents are reason- able.
Along both lines of railroad there are many acres of land available for manufacturing plants, some so located that only a few hundred feet of spur tracks are needed, The City itself owns a large tract of land at Roberts Station, which has been specially set aside for manufacturing purposes. This land is offered at much less than the assessed valuation to industries planning to build within a year of purchase.
Good government, good roads, good schools, congenial social conditions, a high standard of citizenship, convenience to shipping points, nearness to a market, excellent transporta- tion facilities, sanitation above the average, abundant recrea- tional and amusement facilities, the advantages of homes in the open spaces combined with urban conveniences-these are the qualities that go to make a city desirable-and Wal- tham has them all.
The Waltham Chamber of Commerce welcomes inquiries from manufacturers and will be glad to make a complete- and intelligent survey of the situation for any prospective newcomer with particular reference to his special needs.
