amazing. I am printing it out so I can read it on the can.

Scoff if you must but thoes who don't know there history are doomed to repeat it.
I build industrial shit for a living as did my grandfather (at Johnson Steel) and grandmother (Textiles but I forget where) before me so the industrial crap intrests me but did you notice the first American publisher had to relocate here during the American Revolution. Maybe of some intrest to some publishers today.

Any notice the mention of a week long Worcester music festival noted as one of the oldest in the country? What the hell happened to that?

Just a rant. Worcesterites are good at that.

That's an awesome article. I printed it out for my grandmother who will remember all of this and have some cool stories to tell me about the time period.

Nice find!
