CITY OF UTICA
Nellis, Amos and Swift, by Charles Downer & Company, and by G. P. Gibson & Company. Benjamin T. Gilbert, president and manager, has brought into prominence the Xargil Manufacturing Company, producing mufflers, tanks and sheet work generally for automobiles. Bonbons and chocolates, within the past few years, have engaged con- siderable capital and numerous workers. A button factory has just been brought hither from another city. Shirts and shirt waists are made on extensive scales. Agricultural im- plements, especially the products of the Standard Harrow Company, of which Edward L. Wells is president; boilers, machinery, harness, trunks, fishing tackle, paper boxes, with the local stamp, hold a high rank among dealers and con- sumers.
The business in tobacco and cigars is large, and furnishes occupation for many. Musical instruments and electrical apparatus are made, work is considerable in natural and ar- tificial stone, while bricks are produced by the myriads. Local florists maintain an enviable fame. Breweries, one of the earliest industries, have continued and expanded to large proportions. The National Census Bureau, by its bulletin of November, 1906, classes Utica fifth among the cities of the State in the number of its financial manufactur- ing establishments, which are 333, and seventh in rank in their annual product, valued at $22,830,317. The wage earners are 27,469, with earnings of $10,678,632 for the year. Of the wage earners, 13,131 are males and 14,338 females.
Utica does not hide itself as a hermit. The villages ad- jacent partake of its activities, and are almost like its wards. Their manufactories are strengthened by the alliance, while the traffic of the region hardly knows municipal lines. Residents of the villages ply their vocations in the city and seek their amusements here. When all were smaller, local jealousy was possible ; as population and business chose a center, the fact was recognized, and the suburbs made more

and more of the town whose multiplying advantages are so near their own doors while they enjoy rural privileges and bear only rural burdens.
As all quarters of the globe have sent rich increments into the population, so Utica has been a generous giver as well as a grateful receiver. Its children have gone forth into the world's fields as missionaries and teachers. The rolls of the army and navy bear the names of its sons, some in high grades. As preachers and theologians, as professors and scientists, at the bar and on the bench, as journalists and authors, as financiers and promoters of great enterprises, in the metropolis and in other States, Uticans have given proof that their home training and discipline are not provincial, and that they hold rank at the forefront wherever the tasks of civilization are carried on.
The increase of 32 per cent. in population between 1900 and 1910, while the country, as a whole, grew only 21 per cent., prompts sanguine citizens to predict that Utica will soon take rank as the fourth, or even the third city in the State. In the new century, zealous efforts are making for material and civic development. Plans for spacious harbors on the barge canal have been devised. The New York Central and other railroads are improving their facili- ties for freight and passengers. Congress has made the initial appropriation for an enlarged post-office. A modern hotel of eight stories, with all conveniences and luxuries, will be open to guests within the year, with T. W. Johnson as host.
The town is already large enough to command the neces- sities and elegancies of life, of education and culture that de- velop the worthiest humanity for those who choose to abide here. Its citizens strive to make it a beautiful and attract- ive home for residents of good will. Seated at the center of the commonwealth, in its amphitheatre of hills, its scenery is pastoral and varied, not grotesque nor grand. All

the great railroads proffer their facilities for transportation, while the Erie Canal helps to cheapen freight, and the benefits of the barge canal are to come. An admirable trolley system makes transit easy to all parts of the city and to the suburbs. A few millionaires reside here without arrogance or display; fair competence is the rule and extreme poverty the rare exception. With many modern and handsome homes, there are no palaces and no hovels. Its bench and bar have always eminent members, often those of high distinction. Labor is in constant demand at rates equal to those prevailing anywhere else. The standard of taste and style is not inferior to that of other cultivated com- munities. Literature, music, art, and the drama, have their supporters. Athletic amusements are pursued with vigor. The denominations maintain a goodly number of churches with unflagging zeal, sustained by pulpits honorably filled. The schools, public and private, enlist the attention of the parents and have the best methods and practice. The streets are well paved, lighted liberally and kept clean beyond the common habit. Towering elms frame noble arches over the highways for long distances, while goodly maples are not lacking. Always the local charities have been notable, and in recent years, the munificence of citizens has added to their number, to their facilities and to their usefulness.
Residential attractions and industrial opportunities are here not rivals, but are boon companions. The natural con- ditions favor health, while civic forethought assures quiet and thrift. Diversity of industry is notable in a high degree, and conduces to profit and rapid progress. The chronicles of Utica are testimonies to the worth and efficiency of the generations which have gone before, are guarantees of further development, and pledges that the Central City will always be a source of pride to the Empire State.
