as Fall River, Lowell, and New Bedford, Massachu 
setts; Manchester, New Hampshire; Providence, 
Rhode Island; and Paterson, New Jersey; cities in 
which other industries are located, such as paper manu 
facturing in Holyoke and boot and shoe factories in 
Haverhill and Lynn, Massachusetts; hardware, cut

Wilmington, Delaware; clothing manufacturing, as 
in Rochester; collars and cuffs in Troy; hosiery and
