An early forthcoming issue of the Bay State Monthly will contain an
elaborate article of great value upon the manufactures and various
important industries of "A Model Industrial City," for which fine
illustrations are being prepared.
Special invitation is extended to all Public and private Libraries,
Historical, Intellectual and Literary Societies, as well as to every
lover of New England, to join their efforts with ours to the end that
the Bay State Monthly shall be a competent medium of preserving the
great and rapidly increasing amount of history pertaining to New
England, and no less a worthy representative of its literature and
material progress.
We tender our thanks to the Holyoke _Transcript_ for the very
courteous aid rendered our management.
We desire to heartily thank the press of the entire country for the
cordial and appreciative welcome extended to the Bay State Monthly since
it has been published under its new management. On an advertising page
in this number are to be found a few comments, selected from hundreds of
similar notices given by representative newspapers in nearly every state
in the Union.
