Weekly Register, vol. 6, p. 277, 1814, reported Wilmington “likely to become 
one of the most important manufacturing towns in the United States.”

advantages of manufactures, the editor of the local newspaper writes: “Our 
hopes have been fixed on the manufactories of the Brandywine, and of making 
Wilmington a manufacturing City, but this has been abortive. ... ” Delaware 
Gazette, October 8, 1833.
