Romance of a great factory

“Romance of a Great Factory” presents the human interest side of present day industry as typified in a great factory, that of the General Electric Company at Schenectady, New York. While avowing that “with no effort to produce ‘literature’, these stories were hastily dictated while still under the spell of the spectacular and awe-inspiring scenes witnessed on various trips through our great factory employing nearly twenty-five thousand men”, the author suceeds in putting before the reader a vivid and realistic picture of the factory life, with the shop worker and his interests in the foreground, and with a back ground of scientific and statistical information that adds to its value.
