SELECTION - Tom Jones - German Background: In October 1926, the city of Manchester staged its first-ever Civic Week (October 2-9), a massive municipal publicity campaign designed to boost civic pride and stimulate trade. Following the economic disruption of the May 1926 General Strike, a post-war slump in the Lancashire cotton industry, and ongoing coal shortages, city leaders wanted to remind the world of Manchester's industrial and commercial might. As outgoing Lord Mayor Councillor Miles E. Mitchell and incoming Lord Mayor James Henry Swales declared in the official literature, Manchester was holding the week because "she has something to show and something to say" and "the world has a right to know what we are doing and how we are doing it." The festivities kicked off on Saturday, October 2, with a two-mile-long transport and industrial pageant featuring 350 vehicles parading through the streets, followed by this formal civic luncheon at the Neo-Gothic Manchester Town Hall. The booklet's cover artwork celebrates the city's dual identity as both an industrial powerhouse - symbolized by the worker bees lining the border- and a major inland port, depicted by the steamship unloading cargo along the Manchester Ship Canal. The guest list reflects Manchester's international reach at the time. Alongside local dignitaries like Alderman Sir Frederick Joseph West (head of West's Gas Improvement Co.), the guests of honor included Captain G. M. Garforth-Bles of the Manchester Consular Association and W. Stauffacher of Switzerland, representing navigation on the Upper Rhine - highlighting Manchester's keen interest in European waterway trade. Music was provided by Forsyth Brothers' Band; Forsyth Brothers (founded in 1857 on Deansgate) remains one of Manchester's oldest and most famous music institutions. Throughout the rest of the week, residents and international visitors toured factories, utilities, and a massive historical pageant at Heaton Park. During the height of the Industrial Revolution, the motto was chosen to reflect the Victorian ideals that built the city: Concilio (careful planning, civic governance, and intellectual foresight) combined with Labore (hard manual work, manufacturing. . .
