Description

Excerpt from A Live City in the Hudson Valley<br/><br/>To the manufacturer who seeks a place to establish his business Troy offers unusual inducements. There are eight miles of railroad within its borders and as much more in vicinity towns. Sixteen transportation companies enter the city. Scores of splendid factory sites are in close touch with exceptional shipping facilities. The river, its channel now being deepened by the Government to a depth of twelve feet at low water, offers advantages of low ght rates. The largest volunteer fire department in the state aids the paid force in protecting from fire. The very name of Troy means a great deal, for Troy goods everywhere are accepted as the best of their kind. The Chamber of Commerce, seven hundred strong, stands ready to aid in every possible way the manufacturer who looks towards Troy for a permanent home. It has the goods to show, and is not afraid of the competition of other com munities. It knows there is no city in the east so favorably located for most industries and is glad to back this knowledge with facts. For the employer or the employee, for the small or the large concern, for the monopoly or the competitive corporation, it is an ideal center from which goods can be distributed more easily, labor secured more quickly and work done more efficiently than in any city of its size within a thousand miles.
