Excerpt from Industrial Studies: United States Our smoky cities, ablaze with light from blast furnaces or alive with the noise and whir of factories in which thousands of operatives spend their days, would seem strange and almost frightful to the people who lived a hundred years ago. The streets filled with swift cars, the hundreds of locomotives puffing and wheezing, and the crowded stores are as different as can be imagined from the quiet villages in which our ancestors lived, where they made their own clothes and shoes, and raised on the farm nearly all their food. If a trip to a near-by town was planned, they walked thither, or jogged along behind the sober farm horse, instead of flying along in steam or electric cars. To-day factories, furnaces, foundries, street cars, and railway stations are familiar sights. Indeed, we Should miss them if they were dropped out of our lives. It would seem hard to us to have to spin and weave our own dull-colored clothes, instead of going to the store and selecting from the product of a thousand looms the pretty colors which we like best.
