Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. As a commercial center New York is supreme. Every big industrial institution in the country has an office in the city; vessels leave its hundreds of docks for practically every port in the world, and it is extensively engaged in manufacturing. The principal industries are sugar refineries, tobacco factories, and plants for the making of clothing, chemicals, medi cines, clocks, watches, musical instruments, rope, cordage, iron and steel products, boats, ammunition, glassware, silverware, paper, oils, paints, soap, starch and matches. In engraving, printing and lithographing the city is very prominent.
