Manufacturing. This is the great industry of 

 the state, which owes most of its mills and fac- 

 tories, as stated above, to its ready supply of 

 water power. Only New York, Pennsylvania and 

 Illinois produce manufactured goods in greater 

 amount, and in a number of important branches 

 of industry Massachusetts is easily first. For 

 instance, no other state compares with it in the 

 manufacture of boots and shoes, more than a 

 hundred million pairs coming from its factories 

 every year, to say nothing of the vast amount 

 of accessories and cut stock. Almost half of 

 the footwear made in the United States is pro- 

 duced in Massachusetts. Of even greater im- 

 portance than boot and shoe making are the 

 combined cotton and woolen industries, which 

 produce in a year goods valued at almost $400,- 

 000,000. Massachusetts leads all the states in 



the production of cotton, woolen, worsted and 

 felt goods, stands high in the list of producers 

 of carpets, rugs and silks, and makes more cord- 

 age and twine than any other state. Near to 

 these in importance are the manufacture of 

 foundry and machine-shop products, printing 

 and publishing, meat packing, and the making 

 of leather goods and of wood pulp. 



Many of the industries are rather sharply lo- 

 calized, though Boston, by far the largest manu- 

 facturing center in the state, exhibits wide va- 

 riety. Lawrence, the second city in the value 

 of its manufactures, ranks foremost among the 

 cities of the United States in the production of 

 woolen and worsted goods; Fall River, Lowell 

 and New Bedford make more cotton goods than 

 any other cities in the country; Lynn, Brock- 

 ton and Haverhill are the great centers of the
