A 1902 Harper's Weekly article surveying Connecticut's manufacturing industries using 1900 census figures. It covers the number of establishments, capital, wages, the state's leading industries and their growth from 1890 to 1900, and the specialties of its main cities. It also argues that mill workers prosper, using the Cheney silk mills at South Manchester as an example, and closes with a note on Hartford's insurance business. Textiles (silk, cotton, carpets, hosiery, thread) appear as one industry among many.
