Excerpt from Lowell: Past, Present and Prospective
This pamphlet was compiled and prepared with a view to presenting in a concise and available form, certain important facts regarding the city of Lowell - its industries, its enterprises and its prospects. Great pains were taken to collect the statistics which are as nearly accurate as an unofficial collation could possibly be.
The large four-page map, found elsewhere in the pamphlet, was especially prepared for this volume from the new maps of the U. S. survey, and it is of interest because it embraces a territory which very little exceeds the area of the city of Worcester. On this map will be found letters which refer to land elsewhere described which is available for manufacturing purposes.
There is much valuable information within the covers of this pamphlet, and an abundance of evidence to show that for investment, particularly in manufactures, there are few places more suitable and desirable than Lowell.
