Description

During the twenty-seven years the Bangor Board of Trade has been in existence there have been brought out under its auspices several publications setting forth the industries and resources of Bangor, a city universally recognized as the business centre of Eastern Maine, and rapidly coming to the front as the metropolis of the Northeast. The first of these pamphlet publications appeared in 1873 and others were issued in 1883 and 1888. More than a decade of years have elapsed since the appearance of the last of these elaborate business reviews, and as these years have been characterized by a notable advancement in the realms of trade, commerce and industry, especially fitting it is that something now be brought out descriptive of the Bangor of to-day and worthy of the proud city at the head of navigation on the noble Penobscot. The object in view is to set forth in attractive and convenient form the industries, resources, attractions and business life of the City of Bangor and its environs. In the present day illustrations play a prominent part in all of the higher class of publications and these pages are embellished with the finest half-tone engravings obtainable.
