Excerpt from Somerville Hall: Or Hints to Those Who Would Make Home Happy To increase my disgust, other neighbors were expected, so that I was to see this heroine in full play, among her humble friends, and admiring satellites. Escape being impossible, I nerved myself for the occasion, and determined, as my last and only resource, to keep the whole length of the room between myself, and the object of my anticipated dislike.

Book Description
Excerpt from Somerville as It Really Is Along with the many natural advantages of Somerville that go to make up a most beautiful and healthful section of New Jersey, peculiarly adapted to the metropolitan home-seeker, are the business opportunities that have been taken advantage of in the past by hustling young men, and which enterprises are now on the safe road to success. These young men have in the past ten years built up mercantile establishments in Somerville that rank high in every particular, with the stores of the city merchants. By their business methods they have brought thousands of dollars' worth of new business to Somerville, and each year sees a larger investment of capital in a number of the growing institutions. Somerville stores in every line are models of practical modern business methods and every article on the market, from a paper of pins to the highest priced automobile, can be purchased on Main Street at prices many times less than the same goods are sold for in the city markets. Since Somerville's younger generation took hold of business enterprises, which even extended to the local government, which within a year has been changed from the antiquated town form to the modern borough act, things have been booming. By judicious advertising Somerville merchants have thoroughly succeeded in making it known that tills is the place to shop, and every day one can see hundreds of people from the surrounding country come here in wagons, automobiles, trolleys and trains. They go home laden with packages of goods purchased here. There is a variety of merchandise manufactured here that is sold all over the world. Orders for goods from Japan, Russia and even from distant Africa have been manufactured here for some time. The largest concern in the borough is the Somerville Iron Works, which are now paying out in wages to their employees, about one quarter million dollars per year. They manufacture soil pipe which is shipped all over the country. The Carbon Stove and Range Company have shipped their ranges to many foreign countries, and are constantly receiving orders from all over the United States.

Book Description
Excerpt from Somerville, Past and Present: An Illustrated Historical Souvenir Commemorative of the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Establishment of the City Government of Somerville, Massachusetts In placing this volume before the public, the editors desire to express their gratitude for the kindly encouragement, the more than liberal support they have received from the people of Somerville. A work of such magnitude as this, one involving such a great amount of detail labor, could not well be prepared without the generous assistance, the hearty co-operation of a large portion of the community; and that such aid has been given us, together with a generally expressed approval of our undertaking, we gladly put upon record. In addition to much other valuable assistance that has been received, many important papers have been prepared for us, and they present a fairly complete resume of the history of the city's various institutions. The scholarly contributions of Charles D. Elliot, George I. Vincent, Joshua H. Davis, Frank E. Merrill, John S. Hayes, Albert E. Winship, William E. Brigham, J. O. Hayden, and many others will receive the approval of all who are interested in Somerville's history, and they will serve as an invaluable basis for the work of the future historian. To the "Somerville Journal," the "Somerville Citizen" and John K. Whiting we are indebted for several of the illustrations we have used, also to Mr. Gordon A. Southworth for the portraits of "Citizens for whom Somerville Schools were named," and for reports containing their biographies. The typographical and artistic features of the volume speak for themselves: it has been our constant aim to secure the best available work, and we hope that our efforts will receive the approbation of the public. Somerville is a municipality of diversified interests, and of many social centers. Hence, he who is prominent in one section may, perhaps, be almost unknown in others.
