Excerpt from Resources and Industries of the City of Lancaster, Lancaster County: With Some Account of Its Historical ImportanceThe publication of this volume was undertaken at the instance of the Lancaster Board of Trade for its Committee on Statistics. It is designed to present a general view of the resources and industries, the material wealth, the moral elevation and the social conditions of one of the oldest and best cities of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.The statistics herein collected, compiled, digested and tabulated have been obtained by conscientious inquiry and from reliable report. Without the aid of business men, manufacturers and others, by giving candid and clear statements of the facts in their possession, and in most cases known only to the individual, the compilation of such a work - even as imperfectly as this has been done would have been impossible.For these and other favors from various quarters, whether solicited or volunteered, the publisher makes grateful acknowledgment. Especially is he indebted to Mr.D. McN. Staufifer, formerly of Lancaster, now of New York, a most accomplished engineer and intelligent antiquarian, to Rev. Dr. J. H. Dubbs, president of the Lancaster County Historical Society, to J. M. W. Geist, Esq., editor, and Mr. F. R. Diffenderffer, associate editor, of the New Era, to Mr. Thos. F. McElligott, of the Intelligencer, to Mr. R. J. Houston, of the wholesale trade, to Mr. John C. H ager, president, and Mr. H. C. Moore, secretary, the efficient officers of the Board of Trade, and to Mr. Geo. N. Reynolds and his associates on the Committee of Statistics, for many fruitful suggestions and much valuable aid.The illustrations which accompany the work are believed to add to its interest and permanent value. The subjects of them were selected solely because they were characteristic and without any reference to private interests.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
