App. - 1 Overview of Boston’s Manufacturing Industry The manufacturing industry in Boston, as in most parts of the country, has experienced a significant decline in the last three decades. Once Boston’s main engine of economic growth, the manufacturing industry has been replaced by other innovative and service-based industries. This decline has been translated into a substantial decrease in the number of jobs available in the Boston manufacturing sector. Figure 1 shows the dramatic changes in industrial and manufacturing employment during the last three decades in the City of Boston. Source: U.S. Bureau Of Economic Analysis Figure 1. Industrial Employment in Boston Manufacturing All Industrial 120,000 100,000 80,000 J o 60,000 b s 40,000 20,000 1969 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 In 1969, Boston’s manufacturing industry employed 68,993 people. The years to follow were characterized by a fairly steady decrease in the number of manufacturing jobs in Boston. By 1979, the number of people employed in Boston’s manufacturing companies was down to 54,342. Jobs in the city’s manufacturing sector continued to be lost in the 1980’s, dropping to 33,442 jobs by 1989. In the year 2000, manufacturing -1- establishments in Boston employed 27,993 people1. That is, 41,000 manufacturing jobs were lost from 1969 to 2000, a 59.4% decrease in three decades and a critical change, given the importance that the manufacturing industry has had historically in providing jobs for the less formally trained section of Boston’s labor market. The list of Boston’s 1,147 manufacturing companies in this report was compiled from the 2002 Massachusetts Manufacturing Directory produced by Tower Publishing.2 The manufacturing industry covers a broad spectrum of companies which are described by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s 1997 manual as “establishments engaged in the mechanical, physical, or chemical transformation of materials, substances, or components into new products.”3 These companies are grouped by SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) code and/or by the new NAICS (North American Industry Classification System,) which are derived from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s Manual (1987 and 1997, respectively.) The manufacturing companies have been arranged into four different lists. The first is an alphabetical listing of Boston’s manufacturing companies, including the company’s name, address, zip code, telephone number, contact person, SIC code, NAICS code, and a brief description of the company’s product. The second list of Boston’s manufacturing companies is arranged by SIC code, which classifies companies in major 1 U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis 2 Tower Publishing, 2002 Massachusetts Manufacturing Directory. Standish, ME. 3 Executive Office of the President Office of Management and Budget. Standard Industrial Classification Manual 1987. (National Technical Information Service. Springfield, Virginia) -2- groups according to their manufactured products. Within these major groups, there are also subgroups. For example, in major group 20 (Food and Kindred Products), the companies with the SIC code 2011 process various types of meat, while companies with SIC code 2024 produce ice cream products. A summary of the SIC major groups is shown in Table 1. The SIC code summary shows that major group 27 (Printing, Publishing, and Allied Companies) is the most dominant group of manufacturing companies in the city, accounting for 38.4%, or over one third of the city’s manufacturing. Major group 39 (Miscellaneous Manufacturing Companies - made up of a variety of smaller product lines such as jewelry, musical instruments, toys, sporting goods, and signs) is the second largest manufacturing group accounting for 8.7% of the city’s manufacturing. At 8.2%, major group 20 (Food and Kindred Products) is the city’s third largest manufacturing group. Other manufacturing groups that have a notable number of companies in the city are major group 23 (Apparel and Other Similar Products Made from Fabrics etc.) with 6.7% of the city’s manufacturing companies, 34 (Fabricated Metal Products) with 5.8%, and 35 (Machinery) with 5.6% of the city’s manufacturing companies. Together these categories account for 73.4% of all of the manufacturing companies in the city. Figure 2 shows the distribution of all the manufacturing establishments in the City of Boston by major SIC-code groups. -3- Table 1 Boston Manufacturing Establishments: SIC Codes SIC Code and Industry Number Percent Of Total 27- Printing 440 38.4% 39- Miscellaneous 100 8.7% 20- Food 94 8.2% 23- Apparel 77 6.7% 34- Fabricated Metal 66 5.8% 35- Machinery 64 5.6% 36- Electronic Equipment 56 4.9% 28- Chemicals 47 4.1% 24- Lumber 43 3.8% 38- Measuring Instruments 36 3.1% 32- Stone/Glass 26 2.3% 26- Paper 18 1.6% 22- Textile Mill 18 1.6% 25- Furniture 15 1.3% 30- Rubber/Plastics 13 1.1% 37- Transportation Equipment 13 1.1% 31- Leather 10 0.9% 33- Primary Metal 9 0.8% 21- Tobacco 1 0.1% 29- Petroleum and Coal Products 1 0.1% Totals 1,147 100.0% Figure 2.

This event, along with the rapid emergence of new industries - among other factors - resulted in the creation of the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) in 1997. The third section of this report lists the 1,147 Boston manufacturing establishments by NAICS code. NAICS codes in this list were derived from the 1997 North American Industrial Classification System Manual, which lists the correspondence between SIC and NAICS Codes. Table 2 presents the distribution of Boston manufacturing companies for these different NAICS subsectors. The NAICS listing is subdivided into three-digit subsectors, which best resemble the major SIC groups used in the previous section. As a result, similar categories of manufacturers top the lists in both Tables 1 and Table 2. NAICS Subsector 511 (Publishing) accounts for 23.5% of the entire industry, and subsector 323 -4- Table 2 Boston Manufacturing Establishments: NAICS Codes NAICS Code and Industry Number Percent Of Total 511- Publishing 270 23.5% 323- Printing 168 14.7% 339- Miscellaneous 118 10.3% 311- Food 84 7.3% 332- Fabricated Metal 73 6.4% 334- Computer/Electronics 62 5.4% 315- Apparel 52 4.5% 325- Chemical 51 4.5% 333- Machinery 43 3.8% 321- Wood Product 29 2.5% 314- Textile Product Mills 27 2.4% 335- Electrical Equipment 27 2.4% 327- Nonmetallic Mineral 25 2.2% 337- Furniture 22 1.9% 322- Paper 17 1.5% 313- Textile Mills 15 1.3% 336- Transportation Equipment 15 1.3% 326- Plastic/Rubber 13 1.1% 312- Beverage and Tobacco 11 1.0% 316- Leather and Allied Product 11 1.0% 331- Primary Metal 8 0.7% 512- Motion Picture/Sound Recording 4 0.4% 212- Mining (except Oil and Gas) 1 0.1% 324- Petroleum/Coal Products 1 0.1% Totals 1,147 100.0% (Printing and Related Support Activities) accounts for 14.7% of all manufacturing companies in Boston. Together these two subsectors amount to 38.2% and correspond to the SIC classification of printing (27), which accounted for 38.4% of all the manufacturers shown in Table 1. Other large subsectors are 339 (Miscellaneous Manufacturing) with 10.3%, 311 (Food Manufacturing) with 7.3%, 332 (Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) with 6.4%, and 334 (Computer/Electronics) with 5.4% of all manufacturing establishments in the City of Boston. These six subsectors, together, account for almost 70% of the manufacturing industry in Boston.

  • Where to Go When Ya Gotta Go: the Best Public Restrooms That Boston
    Where to go when ya gotta go: The best public restrooms that Boston has to offer One of the perils of touring around a city is trying to find conveniently located bathrooms. While there is always a McDonald’s or Burger King, most fast food emporiums insist you be a customer and even then you have to request somebody to unlock the door. Regular restaurants aren’t very happy either having tourists tromp through their dining establishment. So it’s always good to know where any public restrooms are located so you can better plan your journey. As a public service, here’s a list of Boston’s better placed FREE public restrooms. The Boston Public Library on Dartmouth Street in Copley Square. Enter the main building, go by the security equipment and check-in desk, take a left before the stairs and follow the signs (which will direct you to take a right at the end of the corridor and then a left), Check out the lions guarding the elegant stairway going up to the main reading rooms. After the pressure is off, take a walk through the lovely center courtyard. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to be staying in one of Copley Square’s great hotels – like the Marriott Copley Place, Westin Copley Place, The Lenox or Fairmount Copley Plaza - you only need to go there to appreciate the architecture. Open 9 AM – 5 PM Monday-Saturday (longer during the summer) and 1 PM – 5 PM Sundays. The “New” State House on Beacon Street atop Beacon Hill.

  • E/1 Library Letter from 'The Boston U!Thenteum
    ATHE ITE e/1 Library 'The Boston Letter from u!thenteum No. 68 MARCH 1958 The Let-it-Alone Club R. SULLIVAN, in his Boston Old and New, observed that Hin one of Miss Beatrice Herford's entertaining monologues a member of the new 'Let-it­ . Alone Club' explains the purpose of its association: namely, to 'look for something which is getting along perfectly well and then,-just let it alone!'" The butcher stalls on the ground floor of Faneuil Hall are a case in point. As they have been "getting along perfectly well" for upwards of two centuries, many Bostonians feel that they are the ideal project for the "Let-it-Alone Club." Since the appearance of the last issue of A therueum Items, in which the views of the Massachusetts Histori­ cal Society, the Colonial Society of Massachusetts and the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities on this matter were summarized, two spirited and witty defenses of the butcher stalls-one in verse and the other in prose-have appeared in the Boston press. The Boston Globe published on 1 February one of Francis W. Hatch's lively bal­ lads1 entitled "In the N arne of Peter Faneuil-Beef Before Baubles." This spirited reminiscence of the delights of buying bacon, broiler, tripe and cheese in Faneuil Hall, which concluded Let tourists come, Let tourists go And carry home belief That Boston Patriots are backed By honest Yankee beef! was a few days later reprinted in the form of a handbill that has circulated widely through the city.

  • Acorn Street on Beacon Hill – One of the Last True Cobblestoned Streets
    Acorn Street on Beacon Hill – one of the last true cobblestoned streets Boston’s Famous Cobblestones Boston is noted for its cobblestone streets, but, truth be told, most of them are not made of cobblestones. How could this happen? Well, a “cob” in Old English was a rounded mass or lump. Boston’s soil was loaded with these “cobs”, so it was natural we would do whatever we had to do to get rid of as many as possible – from building stone walls to ballast in ships to, you guessed it, paving material. To put many together roughly was to “cobble”. This begat “cobblestone” paving. Many of Old Boston’s streets were made with these “cobblestones”, exactly as we took them out of the ground. This led to many uneven surfaces, broken wheels, and, of course, massive complaints. The problems with the irregular features of the cobblestones led to the creation in the 19th century of “setts”, which were granite stones cut into more or less regularly-shaped rectangles and made the street paving surface much more even. “Setts” became the standard for Boston streets during the 1800’s. However, guidebooks have continued to call these new-fangled paving blocks “cobblestones” as well, but now you know that this is not correct. The only place that TRUE cobblestones are still around in any significant quantity is up in Beacon Hill. Their most famous location is on Acorn Street, which is one of the most photographed parts in the city. But you’ll also see them in some of the worn-down exposed areas of Louisburg Square and close by on a few driveways along Mount Vernon Street.

Socialism was on the rise in Massachusetts in 1902. For the Democratic Party, the Socialist vote, along with that of other splinter parties, such as the Prohibition and Labor Parties, frequently meant certain defeat by the Republicans. That November, the third party vote meant the difference between victory and defeat in many elections, including the governorship, lieutenant governorship and at least seven state senate seats. Socialist James Carey was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives from Haverhill.
