ARTFORD excels in its character. Whether one con­ siders its mighty ..insurance corporations, the variety and extent of its manufactures, or the advantages of the city as a place of residence; the one word which seems best to typify Hartford is "class." With the coming of that little band, led by one of the sturdiest of religious pioneers, there was brought to Hartford two hundred and eighty years ago, the spirit of progress which is manifest in every endeavor of its citizenship in 1915. Whether it be in manufacturing, in insurance, or in the varied commercial enterprises which have made this community so prosperous and which have more than kept pace with the advancement of our wonderful country, the Hartford spirit which strives to excel, is at all times dominant. Not long ago, a former successful manufacturer in Hartford, and who is repeating his Hartford success in a nearby municipality, gave voice to the statement that the name Hartford on any product meant at least a ten per cent. greater selling value. A community which in manufacturing has known a Samuel Colt and Albert A. Pope, whose intellectual and religious thought has been influenced by a Horace Bushnell and a John Williams; whose educational institutions have felt the inspiration of a Henry Barnard; and in whose literary life there have been a Harriet Beecher Stowe, a Mark Twain, and a Charles Dudley Warner; there is such a wide range of inventive and intellectual endeavor that the city's claim to distinction in both material and spiritual achievement t:annot be disputed. But Hartford's glory is by no means of the past. A city today with its investment of approximately five hundred millions in the insurance business, with its factories turning out annually sixty million dollars worth of pro­ ducts, fruits of the labor of between eighteen and twenty thousand skilled mechanics employed in more than two hundred factories, to whom is paid each year approximately twenty million dollars in wages, stands among the most prominent in the sisterhood of thriving municipalities. Perhaps no mu­ nicipality of corresponding size presents greater material wealth. Certainly none has finer public buildings and more beautifuJ parks. The parks include more than thirteen hundred acres of land and in one is situated the most beautiful rose garden in •America. A college, two seminaries, four libraries, one high and manual training school, and eighteen grammar schools comprise I its educational facilities. •

e 1 HA RTFORD CHAMBER OF COMMERC~ INC

With a population of practically one hundred thousand according to the last federal census, the present number of people is conservatively esti­ mated at one hundred and thirty-five thousand, an increase in fifteen years of at least fifty thousand. No single fact in the life of the city is more convincing of its stability than the amount which its insurance companies, numbering more than a score, have paid to beneficiaries. This sum, compiled from the 1914 reports to the insurance commissioner of Connecticut, reaches the gigantic figure of $1,446,729,889. No other city of the size of Hartford can even begin to ap­ proach this great outlay, and in capital, assets and surplus, the figures of the Hartford insurance companies are also strikingly impressive. The appended table tells the story. CAPITAL ...... $ 33,859,000.00 ASSETS ...... $455,926,964.00 SURPLUS ...... $ 75,536,902.00 Hartford's bank clearings are also illustrative of the city's importance in the financial world. For the year 1914 the amount was $261,494,106.00. Our grand list amounts to the great sum of $111,412,555. Of this amount $54,253,135 is represented in dwelling houses of which there are 10,787. The assessments on 1,274 buildings used for stores is $32,071,060. There are 141 buildings used for mills which, with their ma'6,hinery, are valued at $11,179,315. Inside the city's limit are 5,078 acres of land free of buildings which are assessed for $3,052,838. Goods and merchandise in our stores are valued at $6,008,382. Materials of manufacturers are valued at $1,578,375. One million, four hundred and three thousand, eight hundred and fif­ teen dollars represent the value of automobile and motor vehicles in Hartford. Post Office Rece~pts With the foregoing very extensive evidence of the city's material wealth, it is not strange that the postal receipts reflect Hartford's prosperity. For the year ending March 31st last, the Hartford post office received $733,­ 065; while the expense in maintaining the office was only about 33 per cent. of this sum. Fre~ght To turn to another side of Hartford's business activity the freight ar­ rivals and departures by water alone, it may be said that according to the last annual report of the Port Warden, no less than 521,180 tons of miscellaneous freight were received and dispatched. In addition there were importations of 2,407,099 feet of lumber and 1,769,407 gallons of oil. Our factories alone for the twelve months received and consigned 120,000 tons of freight by rail.

Midway between New York and Boston, on the main line of New Eng­ land's great railroad system, and at the head of navigation of the Connecti­ cut river, Hartford enjoys transportation facilities of superior advantage. Not only are these transportation facilities advantageous for business, but within a radius of twenty-five miles, are many points of great scenic and historic in­ terest. The lines of the Hartford and New York Transportation Company afford daily passage between the city and New York with stops at interme­ diate river points. Not far down the river is located a little red school house where Nathan Hale, who is immortalized in American history, taught the youth of Revolutionary days. One of the best trolley systems in the United States traverses the city and with intersecting and connecting lines, gives access tQ the suburban ter­ ritory, rich in agriculture and manufacture. One of the most important in­ dustries of that section of the Connecticut valley, of which Hartford is a cen­ ter, is the growing of tobacco, a product which deyelops annually many mil­ lions of dollars to Connecticut prosperity. Publ~c StruClures At Hartford, state and city have contributed millions for public struc­ tures. Most notable is the state capitol, one of the handsomest specimens of architecture in New England and, with the State Library and Supreme Court building, enjoys the distinction of having been erected and furnished wholly inside the appropriation for these purposes. In addition the Connecticut State Arsenal and Armory, the home of the First Infantry, Connecticut Na­ tional Guard, in which is located the adjutant's general office, all the depart­ mental offices, and the State Arsenal, is one of the largest buildings of its kind in the United States. The dimensions are 325x275 feet, and the drill shed has a clear space. of 269x185 feet; while the: height from basement to ridge is 106 feet. There are 666 seats in the gallery and the drill room will accommodate 12,000 people. The total cost was $869,103.33. The cost of th~ library was $1,375,000 and of the State Capitol about three millions. Hartford's new municipal building, corner of Main and Arch streets, which will be dedicated in the fall, represents an outlay of more than a mil­ lion and is one of the most conveniently arranged and beautiful buildings in New England. Paintings and tapestries of priceless worth are included in the hand­ some collection pres~rved by the Wadsworth Athenaeum in the Morgan Memorial, a magnificent building of pink Knoxville marble erected by the late J. Pierpont Morgan of New York, in memory of his father, Junius Spencer Morgan, long a merchant of Hartford. Within the walls of the Colt Memorial may be found the choicest of the world's curios, including articles which were once the possession of royalty and which Col. Samuel Colt acquired in his European trips. The extensive collections of the Hartford Public Library and the Wat­ kinson Library are housed in the Wadsworth Athenaeum, a· granite building of Tudor architecture which was erected by the voluntary contributions of Hartford citizens at a cost of more than $200,000.

The City Hall, which is one of the rare specimens of Bullfinch archi­ tecture extant and which was used as a State House from May, 1796, until March, 18 79, has been the scene of some of the most important gatherings in New England, including the famous Hartford Convention of 1814. It was here that Lafayette was entertained in 1825. One of the most striking structures in the city and forming a part of the beautiful bridge which spans the Park river, is the Memorial Arch, erected in honor of the men of Hartford who served in the Army and Navy of the North during the War of the Rebellion. It stands as a veritable outpost to the entrance to Bushnell Park and the Capitol grounds, and commemorates alike the valor of the men who served the nation and the gratitude of Hart- .: ford's citizens for the service Hartford's soldiers and sailors gave. Notable indeed are the statues which adorn the city's public places. In Bushnell Park are heroic size figures of Horace Wells, discoverer of anaesthe­ sia, and of General Israel Putnam. On the Athenaeum grounds stands a statue of N atl)an Hale. At the southeast entrance to the Capitol grounds is erected a monumentj to the men of the First Connecticut Heavy Artillery, a substantial granite pedestal on which is mounted the old "Petersburg Ex­ press," the mortar which the boys from '61 to '65 used with telling effect. A plain marble shaft on Charter Oak Avenue marks the place where stood the famous charter oak. The stately structures of the Aetna Life Insurance Company, the Aetna Insurance Company, the Travelers Insurance Company, the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Rossia Insurance Company, and other homes of Hartford insurance companies give to the city great architectural distinction. It has often been said that no city of the size of Hartford can boast of such extensive department stores. Manufado~es Hartford manufactures a wide variety of articles. The list includes a wide range from the death dealing machine gun and automatic pistol to the typewriter with its great facilities in expediting business correspondence. One plant, one of the largest of its kind in the country, just at this time is supplying the machinery that will enable a long peaceful, celestial republic to provide the equipment with which the Orientals hope to forge the arms destined to resist encroaching neighbors of the allied racial origin. No city has a cleaner factory district than Hartford. Modern build­ ings, surrounded with well kept grounds, and supplied with every sanitary arrangement, make this district the source of great pride. It is not strange that the Hartford workingmen are contented. More skilled mechanics are to be found in Hartford than in any other city of corresponding !ize in the ! Union. Labor troubles are extremely rare, while the rates of wages ranks with the highest.

Wages Not only in the factories is the wage schedule satisfactory, but in the building trades also, as may be seen from the following table: Bricklayers ...... $.65 Gas Fitters...... $ .55 Masons ...... 65 Carpenters ...... 50 Structural Iron...... 55 Stone Cutters ...... 65 Ornamental Iron ...... 55 Marble Cutters...... 65 Lathers ...... 55 Marble Setters...... 65 Plasterers ...... 65 Painters ...... 50 Hoisting Engineers...... 50 Sheet Metal Workers .. .45 Tile Setters...... 70 Electricians ......

'15 Elevator Constructors. . . .45 Hod Carriers...... 37Yz Pipe Coverers...... 3 5 Publ~c lnst~tut~ons Hartford gives generously to its varied activities of an altruistic char­ acter. The city maintains in addition to its superb day school system, night schools where the foreigner may acquire not only a knowledge of the lan­ guage of his adopted country, but a sound basis for general education, includ­ ing, of course, the elementary three R's. Four public hospitals, one with a mountain side sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis, are maintained largely through public contribu­ tions and are model institutions. Free public baths, play grounds in the parks, public golf courses and tennis courts, band concerts and other means for recreation are liberally supplied. In a word Hartford unites with its commercial superiority the civic spirit which not only makes the most of every business opportunity, but pro­ vides the best for those who live within her borders. The Chamber of Commerce One of the latest evidences of this civic spirit of Hartford, is the forma­ tion of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce, Inc., by the amalgamation of the Hartford Board of Trade and the Hartford Business Men's Association. This body composed of 1,500 of Hartford's live business men, is an organi­ zation which strives to be of service to the entire community. Its· object is to foster and develop the material resources and to conserve the best endeavors. The Chamber of Commerce is the originator of the workingmen's re­ lief fund, for loaning small sums at a low rate to worthy workingmen in ~ financial difficulty. The Chamber of Commerce is the originator of the Fire Prevention and Clean-up crusade in Hartford and the ordinance making the Fire Department a prevention body as well as a fire extinguishing organization. The Chamber of Commerce has no selfish or individualistic purposes. Every matter that comes before it is handled in a big, broad-gauged way. H A R T F 0 R D CHAM BE R 0 F C 0 M M E R C E, I N ·C.

The Chamber of Commerce is composed of several divisions to which may be assigned from time to time questions of public interest which are brought to the attention of the organization for an expression of sentiment. It is both a moral and financial influence in the community. The Chamber of Commerce is installing a permanent exhibit of the industrial, commercial and financial resources of Hartford in the handsome assembly hall of the Chamber of Commerce building, 252 Asylum street. The object is to foster and promote the resources of the city and to set forth the community's manifold advantages in a practical and systematic manner. It will be made representative in every respect. In a sense it will be a picture t of the material products of this section, but in a larger way, it will be a con­ jj crete expression of Hartford's civic advantages. It is estimated that there will be an income of $8,000 the first year of its existence. Our Neighbor Across fhe River Linked closely with the welfare of Hartford is the thriving suburb of East Hartford, directly across the Connecticut river and connected with the city by the magnificent Hartford bridge, which with the boulevards ap­ proaching from either side, was erected by the Hartford Bridge and Highway District Commission at an expense of approximately two and one-half mil­ lions. East Hartford is a thriving town providing exceptional places for busi­ ness and for residence. Particularly advantageous are its factory sites which hundreds of acres of land adjoining the railroad make available. There are the best of traveling facilities, the main line of the New Haven railroad pass­ es through the town and spur tracks are easily constructed. The Hockanum river. between twelve and fifteen miles in length, has long been recognized as a most desirable stream for supplying power to fac­ tory industries. One mill's manufacturing power is at the point where there is a fall of 11 feet which develops a power of 175. This mill has been making use of the Hockanum river for turning its wheels since Revolutionary days, and at that period made the paper which was afterward fashioned into Con­ tinental money. East Hartford is alive to the importance of exploiting its advantages, and with the formation of the East Hartford Division of the Hartford Cham­ ber of Commerce, the membership of which has reached 175, gives an influ­ ence which will no doubt soon place our neighbor to the east on' a basis from which great prosperity will spring.

A Word of Explanat~on

When the Roster Committee undertook the work of classifying the more than 1,500 members of the HARTFORD CHAMBER OF COM­ MERCE it sent out to each member a request for their correct name, address and the business classi­ fication the member preferred. Necessarily the classifications as sent in varied greatly in detail. It became a considerable task to bring these varying requests into harmony and not make of this roster a too voluminous book. This we think we have done. Some of the rules by which the Roster Com­ mittee guided itself may not prove uninteresting to the members : Where a member gave more than one classifica­ tion the first was invariably the one accepted by the committee. Where a member indicated more than a single street number, or gave addresses on more than one street, the first was invariably the one used by the committee. Where more than one name appears under a classification the names are arranged alphabetically. Where several members gave classifications that varied only in detail, but were substantially similar in fact the committee arbitrarily made a classification that embraced the several conflicting requests. Some 200 members failed even on a third re­ quest to return the classification cards; in these cases the committee was guided in making classi­ fications by the records of the Chamber, the tele­ phone directory and Geer's Directory. Such advertising as appears in the roster was solicited with the idea of partially defraying the ex­ pense of its publication and not with the object of making money, either for any individual, or the Chamber of Commerce. It will be noted that some members are en­ rolled twice, sometimes under the same classifica­ tion and sometimes under similar classifications. This is du~ to the fact that in many cases a firm holds membership and one or more members of the firm are also members as individuals. H A R T F 0 R D C H A M B E R 0 F C 0 M M E R C E, I N C.

Annual Report of 1915 Membership Committee

The first meeting was held on Nov. 17, 1914, at which it was decided to have a membership campaign. Two teams were organized, one headed by Capt. Henry and the other by Capt. Foss. A contest was arranged, same to continue until Feb. 1st, and active work commenced at once, with the order around that every man in Hartford re­ gardless of business or profession in calling, should become a member of the organiza­ tion in order to broaden the scope of its work, and take up and endeavor to solve all the problems that effect all classes of men living and doing business in Hartford. Separate meetings were therefore held to interest the different lines of business and professions such as grocers, doctors, dentists, druggists, and educators and many members were gained from them. The benefits and advantages of the association as applied to each of these classes or divisions of business were carefully explained and pointed out. One of the most important events outside of the regular meeting of the associ­ ation were the so called "Get Acquainted Nights," that were staged by the committee. These meetings proved a great success, the attendance being from 400 to 500. The feature of these meetings was the opportunity for the new members to meet and get acquainted with the older members. At these meetings, prominent speakers were heard, on topics of interest to the business men. All this proved to be a good advertising for the teams at work and helped them greatly to secure new members. Both teams were working hard, each desiring to win the contest. This work continued until Feb. 1st, the time provided for closing the contest. When the contest closed on Feb. 1st, and each team counted the number of new members, it was found that the two teams had secured a total of 524 new members, with Capt. Henry's team winning the contest, and Capt. Foss leading with the highest individual number of new members secured. In dollars this meant a gain of $3,668 for the association. During the second period of activity the committee was enlarged by the addition of several new members, and consisted of a campaign in East Hartford, which resulted in two teams being made up of East Hartford men and a contest started there. As a result of that campaign there was added to the Chamber 175 new members from East Hartford with a further addition of 24 new members from Hartford making a gain of 723 new members added to the association by this committee in 1915, and in dollars a total of $5,061.00 was added to the treasury of the chamber. Through the recommendation of the membership committee, a button was adopted and is now being worn by the members. Also membership cards were issued. Shortly after the membership committee had commenced it was thought advisable to get out a roster which was done although not complete in some respects, it was mailed out to members and prospective members, serving its purpose to stimulate interest and acquaint the merchants and business men with the work of the Chamber. A second roster is now being prepared which will be complete in so far as it can be made so, and which will be a credit to the Chamber as no time and effort is being spared to make it something that every member will always desire to keep. When this Committee began its work, the membership consisted of 725 while our new roster will show a membership of 1646. Shortly before the membership campaign in East Hartford closed, your chairman recommended to the Chamber of Commerce that the Chamber set aside a special evening for the proper welcoming of the East Hartforrl branch into our Chamber. Owing to the summer vacation and the work of the exhibit committee, these plans were never carried out, and nothing has been done toward the proper welcoming of the East Hartford branch to our rooms. I, therefore, recommend that the Chamber of Commerce immediately arrange a proper program for the East Hartford Division so that they can attend in a body. Before completing my report I want to thank every member of this committee for their loyal support. Our associations have been most pleasant and I shall always look back to your co-operation with a good deal of satisfaction. Respectfully submitted, October 5, 1915. GUSTAVE FISCHER, Chairman.
