section of the directory, with due allowance for children and for women whose names are not hsted separately, from
those of their husbands. Although Bedford and South Euclid are included in the directory, the,se sub~rbs are not consIdered

General Survey of the City
Greater Cleveland, a city of over a million people,
and the metropolis of Ohio, is situated on the south
shore of Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Cuyahoga
River 576 miles by rail west of New York, and 339
miles'east of Chicago, in Lat. N. 410-3.0'; Long. W.
810-:42'. The corner of Ontario street and St.
Clair Avenue is 659 feet above sea lev~l. Cleveland
has three different surface level:s or. helghts of land.
The first is the low narrow strlP nlfft n~xt to ~he
Cuyahoga River, called "T!le Flats. ThlS sectlOn
is really the fioor of the rlver valley. Many large
warehouses factories, lumber yards, etc., ar.e sit­uated
here: It is the big storehouse of tht; City
and a shipping and trading center. From thlS low
land we can see the next step-up to the second
height of. land on either side of the valley. The
second helght of land is the plain which was once a
bed of Lake Erie. It is the level upon which all
the downtown sections are located and most of the
residence sections east through East Cleveland and
west through Lakewood.
Mo?es Cleveland, who founded the city of Cleve­land
m 179,6, was head surveyor of The Conneccicut
Land Company, which acquired 3,.0.0.0,00.0 acres of
land known as the .Western Reserve, embracing
most of northern OhlO. The entire tract was pur­ch,
ased at forty cents an acre. One acre in Cleve­land
today is worth over $2,.00.0,.000. It is signifi,cant
that Cleveland has doubled its population every
twenty years. Sixty years ago, it was the forty­third
city in the United States.
More than one-half the population of the United
States lives within 5.0.0 miles of Cleveland, and
much more than half of all the manufacturing of
the United states is done within less than 500
miles of Cleveland. Cleveland, therefore, is situated
not only at a point where raw materials in many
important lines can be colleDted easily and at low
cost, but it is also within easy reach of wonderful
markets having a remarkably steady buying power.
Cleveland now leads all other communities m the
manufacture of nuts, bolts, wire goods, grey iron
castings, paints, varnishes, electric batteries, twist
drills, steel forgings, plumbers' supplies, vacuum
sweepers, hardware, job printers' presses and
astronomical appliances, and stands second in the
nation in the manufacture of women's ready-to­wear
clothing. Expansion of automobile manufac­turing
in Cleveland has been one of the City's most
recent developments. Pleasure cars manufactured
include the Peerless, Jordan and Hupmobile. White
trucks and busses are made in Cleveland. The de­velopment
of this industry nas had no mushroom
features, but it is the resultJ' of the recognition by
motor car experts of Cleveland's logical advantages.
Cleveland is the home of the largest paint and
varnish factories in the country, and a tremendous
business results. Cleveland owns or controls two­thirds
of all the shipping on the Great Lakes, with
45 steamship lines connecting with all ports upon
these inland seas. The city has eight passenger
boat lines, three interur,ban lines and is served by
seven trunk lines connected by a "!Belt Line," giving
Cleveland one of the best transportation systems in
the country.
The Public Square, long the great center of the
City's transportation, facilities, assu:mes all even
greater impo~tance smce. the completlOn of tne new
Union Termmal. The Immense development re­volving
about the new Terminal includes the Hotel
Cleveland, Medical Arts Building, J?uilders' ~x­change
Building, Midland Bank BUlldmg, and Hl~­bee
Co.'s great new store (the last named now m
course of construction), and makes this a fitting
center of the Greater Cleveland.
To the north of these are other great buildings
fronting that section of the Square. Included are
the Marshall, Ulmer, Illuminatip;g, SOCiety fo.r Sav­ings
and Cleveland College BUlldmgs.
Superior Avenue, because of its great. ,,:,idth,. is
fittingly adapted to government. and a,dmlrustratlve
buildings. Included in its maSSlve edifices are the
!Federal, Public Library, F_ederal Reserve Bank,
Arcade !Plain Dealer, Leader, Cuyahoga Abstract
and Guarantee Title Buildings.
Starting at the Public Square and travel.ing e~st
on Euclid Avenue, one pa,ss~s many splen<:l1d off~ce
buildings, such as the Wlll1amson, 9'uardla~,. HIP­podrome
National City Bank, HICkox, Cltlzens,
Cleveland Trust, Union Trl!st, Swetland, Cleveland
Athletic, Bulkley, B. F. Kelth's, Hanna and many
others. Euclid Avenue, from the Publlc Squi?-re .to
'East 22d street, lies in the heart of the. retall dis­trict.
The next eighteen blocks comprlse the f~­mous
"Millionaires' RoW." Commerce has ~ecentlY
encroached upon this formerly ver:y excluslve dl~­tricot.
However, many of the beautlful hO-!Iles s~lll
remain, notablY, at Fortieth Street on the ~lght, tne
former home of Mr. John D. Rockefeller. glves some
conception of the sp~cious lawn~, splendld old 1rees
and magnificent resldences WhlCh earned for Eu­clid
Avenue the reputation of being one. of the
most beautiful streets in the world. At Eucl1d Ave­nue
and 55th street is one of the numerous busi­ness
centers, also the Euclid Avenue Station ~f tile
iPennsylvania Railroad. At East 1D7th Street IS tne
:Elysium, the largest indoor .ice rink in the world.
This adjoins 'Wade park, wlth the $1,.0.0.0,00.0 Mu­seum
of Art just beyond the lake and east of the
lake is Severance Hall, new home of Cleveland
Orchestra. On the right are Case School of Ap-plied
Science and Wester~ Reserve Uniyersity and
its related group of Umverslty Hospltals. The
Boulevard to the right, at E. 1G7th !3treet, leads. to
Cleveland Heights and Shaker Helghts, excluslve
residential district. The one to the left proceeds
through Wade Park and Rockefeller Park, para~lel­ing
little Doan Brook for four and one-half mlles,
to Gordon Park and Lake Erie.
Cleveland has many theatres, including Keith's
Palace, the Ohio, Hanna, Hippodrome, State, Col­umbia,
B. F. Keith's "East 1D5th st.", and alham­bra,
which, during the season, entertam Cle,,:eland­ers
with the latest plays and operas. Kelth s Pal­ace
is the largest theatre between New York and
Chicago. Many attractive moving picture theatres
are scattered throughout the city, the largest bemg
Loew's, Stillman, State, Mall, !Park, Granada aI!-d
Allen where the stars of the screen are shown m
the newest productions. Euclid !Beach Park, one ~f
Cleveland's leading summer amusement parks, IS
located on the lake, 9 miles east of the Public
Square. It is a delightful play spot and i~ noted
for its splendid facilities for clean entertamment.
It has one of the largest dancing pavilions in the
country. Dunn Field, at East 66th St. and Lexmg­ton
Avenue, long the scene of many warmly con­tested
baseball games in the American League, is
soon to be replaced by the two-and-a-half million
dollar Stadium. The beautiful suburbs which sur­round
Cleveland and provide exclusive residential
districts are prineipally Lakewood and Rocky River
on the west and East Cleveland, Shaker Heights,
Cleveland Heights and Bratenahl on the east.
Cleveland's Municipal Airport
Since the inauguration of the direct coast-to­coast
air route in 1918, Cleveland, because of its
strategic position, has been one of the most im­portant
stations in this service. At that early date,
planes carrying mail had already Janded on the
outskirts of the city, but regular service was still a
dream of the future. The spring of 1919 saw Cleve­land
connected with New York and Chi-cago, and
the service thus rendered was bringing us closer
to its realization. By September, Hl23, the first
coast-to-coast route was completed, not however
without filling small gaps over some western
stretches, where railroads were still necessary. Up
to this point the overnight delivery had not been
extended to Cleveland, and it faced the ;possibility
of losing the Air Mail Station because of inade­quate
landing facilities. The City Manager and the
City Council were not willing to see this come
a:bout, however, and early in 1925, despite opposi­tion,
soon had the way clear for acquisition of a
site of one thousand and forty acres. Expert ser­vice
was rendered by Major General Mason M.
Patrick, Chief of the U. S. Army Air ServiDe. as­sisted
!by Major B. K. Yount and Lieut. W. E.
Richards of MoCook Field, who were assigned to
assist the City Manager.
So, despite all difficulties, the "Airport" has be­come
a reality; has become a division of the U. S.
Mail Service, equipped with 12 ha~gars with a ca­pacity
of 5.0 planes; has shop and administrative
,building, ample facilities for commercial air lines,
and in all things pertaining to a project of this
kind, has put Cleveland in a high pOSition among
its sister cities.
There are ten companies operating passenger,
freight or mail service from the port. Air ma;l
service is maintained to all large centers. Duri:lg
the first three years of its operation, 60,.0.00 air­planes
cleared the Cleveland Fleld. The importn,nce
of Cleveland's position as a great air center can be
estimated from its recent activities, which included
the 1929 National Air Races and Aeronautical Ex·
position held here from August 24 to September;
and a year later (August 31-September 1, 193 ),
the Gordon Bennett International Balloon P ~Cfj
was held here, and at which time Cleveland f6ain
became the center of national, even world, <tten­tion
from the "air-minded."
Cleveland Is the Financial Stronghold of
Northern Ohio
The banking institutions of Cle"eland have
steadily kept pace with the remf,rJr ",ble progress
made by the city. The foundati.ons upon which
these institutions rest have been huilt up grad­ually
through years of endeavor,i.nd service. Today
Cleveland has some of the veri strongest banking
organizations of the country. :t-Tew industries, con­stantly
springing up, have br10ught about a heavy
demand for accommodationr', but at no time has
industrial activity been cr ;ked ,J,lecause of failure
by banks to m"et all legit mate demands.
.'he following statemen't is taken from reports to
lk's Bankers Encyclopedia of March, 1930:
.\lumber of banks in city-National, 3; state
nks and trust companies, 19; federal reserve, 1-
Total banking figures for city-Capital, $62,055,-
10; surplus, '$60,218,000; deposits, $1,099,476,000;
.ans, $1,052,111,000.
In addition to the banks above enumerated,
here are really many more, for many of the larger
lanks have numerous branches, located conveni­mtly
throughout the city, this for the more ex­peditious
accommodation of patrons.
When the Federal Reserve banking system wa&
established, the government, recog-nizing the im­portance
of Cleveland as a finanClal center, made
this city the seat of the Fourth Federal Reserve
Bank. A new ten-story building is occupied ex­clusively
for transacting the business of this bank.
In amount of assets, the Cleveland Federal Re­serve
Bank is third in the system.
Manufacturing
Cleveland has 2,251 manufacturing establish­ments,
producing more than fifteen thousand dif­ferent
articles. The value of the output is esti­mated
at $1,125,000,000 annually. Approximately
200,000 wage earners are employed. Wages and
salaries of about $205,000,000 are expended. The
city is a leader in the manufacture of automobile
aocessories and parts, aeroplanes, storage batteries
and parts, printing presses and machinery, paints,
varmshes, oils, plumbers' fixtures, astronomical in­struments,
chemicals, hardware, heavy machinery,
iron castings, nuts and bolts, steel forgings, copper,
tin and sheet iron products, packing products, etc.
Center of the Coal, Iron-Ore and Steel Industry
As has been said before, with the discovery of
iron-ore in the Lake Superior district in the 40's,
and the construction of railroads from the east
and south in the 50's, Cleveland occupied a strategic
position. It was the natural meeting place for coal
from the Ohio, 'Pennsylvania and West Virg~nia
districts, and iron -ore from the upper lake regions,
which, with limestone easily procurable from the
neaI1by Ohio quarries, constituted the three raw
materials essential to the successful development
of a great iron and steel industry. Cleveland did
not fail to grasp the opportunity thus presented.
. A steady and consistent expansion of industrial
and business activities took place, which, through
all the years to the present day, has continued
uninterruptedly. Now Cleveland is the greatest
iron-ore market in the world, as well as probably
the greatest steel and iron manufacturing center.
With its twelve huge blast furnaces and its scores
of steel working concerns, Cleveland is literally the
melting-pot of the nation.
Oil Industry
Cleveland ha,s been a center for the oil industry
for more than siXty-five years. It was the birth­place
of the Standard Oil Company, ?<nd the re­fining
of oil was Cleveland's first b1g mdustry.
Indeed the very first oil refining was done here,
in 1859. With ·the discovery of new oil fields, and
the shifting of activities in this industry, Cleve­land
has lost leadership, but there a.re still half a
dozen great refineries in the city, w1th an annual
output of 100,000,000 gallons of petroleum products.
An Important Center of the Automobile Industry
lSince the advent of motor vehicles, Cleveland has.
been an important center for automobile manu­facture.
The city now ranks second in the world
in the production of automobiles and auto parts,
with five large factories producing many thousands
of cars each year. Among the cars now being man­ufactured
here are the Peerless, Jordan and Hup­mobile,
also White trucks and busses.
In the inception and development of motor
trucks, the claims of Cleveland are pre-eminent.
When the industry was in its infancy, the
"White" made its appearance, a practical and sat­isfactory
truck. It made many friends and, what
is more to the point, has retained them and added
others. The White Co. has kept pace with devel­opment,
and today is the foremost truck-building
concern in the country specializing in trucks and
busses of both high and low carrying capacity.
Among the great automobile establishments of
Cleveland is that of the Peerless Motor Car Co.
Its present standing is the result of a gradual evo­lution
from manufacturing operations on several
special lines, preceding and coinciding with the rise
of the American automobile industry. Its parent
concern, the Pe;erless Manufacturing Company,
Lool.: an active part in the manufacture of bic,.ycles
\' llel1 that industry was at its height, and later­aJJout
1900-embarked in the business of manufac­turing
parts for one or two automobiles of Amer­ican
make. In 1901 it secured the right to build
\he DeDion Bouton Motorette under the DeDion
_",tents, and for a year that pioneer among Amer­,
\ll motor cars was produced at the Peerless fac-
10 v. In 1902 the company was incorporated as
tl.le Peerless Motor Car Company. When this re­orgadzation
was effected the first Peerless motor
cars \IPre built. The business expanded rapidly,
and C<l,""sponding progress was made in facilities
and ilJl, .', ovements. Extensive new grounds were
secured ,., ~he present location, East Ninety-third
Street am, QUincy Avenue, and were covered with
large buildllV,1 wholly devoted to the operations of
the company, ['he property has since been greatly
enlarged by (;[.[11'1: ground purchases and the erec­tion
of new bL,jiClings, until, at the present time,
the two great factories of this company cover
twenty acres of hnrl, and are composed of thirty­two
buildings, mosl uf which are three stories hign.
The Peerless Co. w~, . he first to introduce into the
United States the :.' '>rovements of four-speed
transmission and of br· I-gear rear axle, on which

! r.8anges, but the blizzard~ an~ tor~adoes ofhthte
'Vest become mild storms m th1S reg1on. The 0-
, 231: days of summer are followed by nights c~Jed
by !8,ke bre<'zes, and Lake Erie is a never-fa~llfig
source of w~~"er supply. Manasseh Cutler, wntmg
of Cleveland's climate in 1796, said, "The advan­tages
of every climate are here blended."
The production of automobile accessories is one
of Cleveland's most important industries. The enor­mous
number of parts and accessories required in
the building of so many cars has naturally de'iel­oped
many specialized factories making engines,
wheels, axles, hot:'lies, bearings, etc. There are large
drop-forging plants and lamp-making, spring-mak­ing,
and body-building oompanies, some of which
are the largest of their kind in the country.
It is claimed that for every dollar spent for auto­mobiles
in the United States, thirty cents come to
Cleveland.
A Leader in the Manufacture of Clothing
In the production of ready-to-wear clothing,
Cleveland ranks high. There is a distinct textile
district, with scores of modern buildings devoted
exclusively to the manufacture of clothing and
women's outer garments.
Linen dusters, worn in every hamlet in the land
during the exposition year of 1876, gave the
women's garment industry in Cleveland its send­off.
Muslin underwear, or "white goods," had been
made before, but it was the linen duster and its
contemporary, the first linen suit, which inaugur­ated
the manufacture of ready-to-wear outer gar­ments,
The sewing machine, a necessary adjunct
to this trade, was invented and first made in Cleve­land,
so nothing is more natural than that this
city should assume leadership in the output of this
product.
There are in Cleveland more than thirty manu­facturers,
whose annual output approximates $50,-
000 000 in value. Between 5,000 and 6,000 work~rs
are' employed in the industry, under ideal workmg
conditions.
Building Construction
Building activity in Cleveland during 1929 was
very large. The records of the Division of Bui.ld­ings
show that $37,782,000 represents the valuatlOn
of all construction started in Greater Cleveland
during W29.
Adequate Hotel Accommodations
Cleveland's principal hotels, have been especially
designed to fulfill every convention requirement.
One of the many distinctive features is that all
assembly, banquet and committee rooms are lo­cated
no higher than the mezzanine floor-thus re­lieving
completely any congestion at elevators. W1th
100 hotels, ·Cleveland can house without difficulty
any infiux of tourists or convention delegates, no
matter how great. Ten thousand rooms are avail­able
in downtown hostelries of modern fire-proof
construction. Cleveland has added 3,000 hotel roOlns
during recent years. There are three hotels with
1,000 rooms each, another with 600 rooms, and
several with 300 rooms or more.
In the last few years a great number of residen­tial
hotels have been built in the outlying sections.
Attractions for Tourists
There is instruction and entertainment in liberal
quantities for every visitor to Cleveland, no matG~r
what his individual interests may be. Cleveland IS
the second largest city between New York and Chi­cago,
the sixth city in the United states, and sec­ond
to none in civic aocomplishments. Cleveland
is rapidly completing one of the finest civic cen­ters
in the world, the famous Group Plan, com­prising
the Federal Reserve Bank .Bui1ding, City
Hall, Cuyahoga County Court House, Federal :Suild­ing
the Public Auditorium and the Public LIbrary.
Cleveland has 17 miles of lake frontage. Boulevards
traverse nearly its entire length, and public parks
occupy large tracts of land on the waterfront. The
new piers, costing $500,000, at the foot of !East Ninth
Street, are the finest on the Great Lakes. At these
piers passenger boats from all Great Lakes ports
arrive and depart. Cleveland is known as a city of
magnificent homes, beautiful parks and driveways,
magnificent churches and noted colleges.
Attractive Parks and Parkways
The city's 26 public parks occupy 3,655 acres of
land and there are 45 miles of winding boulevards,
lined with rare plants and well-cared-for shrubbery
and lawns. The more attractive of these are Gor­don
Park, 119 acres, located on the shore of Lake
Erie at the foot of East 79th Street; Edgewater
Park 117 acres, ·also located on the shore of Lake
Erie' at the foot of West 76th street; Brookside
iPark and Zoological Gardens, 159 acres, south side,
on Fulton Rd. at Denison Ave.; Garfield Park, 182
acres, in the southeast, on Broadway, immediately
south of City limits; Shaker Heights Park, 250
acres running from Ambleside Dr. to Cleveland
Heights; Woodland Hills Park, 113 acres, located on
Kinsman Rd" corner East H3d Street; Wade Park,
86 acres, on Euclid Ave., east of 107th St.; Rocke­feller
iPark, 273 acres, running from Cedar Ave.
through Wade Park and continuing four and one­half
miles to St. Clair Ave. and Gordon Park.
Cleveland Airport, Brook Park Rd. and Riverside
Rd., in Brook Park Village, covering 1,040 acres, is
an intermediate point on the United States New­York-
Chicago air zone. In addition to the above
parks, the Metropolitan System of 10,000 acres, is
an almost continuous line of reservations in va­rious
parts of Cuyahog'a County. covering the outer
sections of Metropolitan Cleveland with parks of
great natural beauty.
Mild Climate
Cleveland's temper.ature for W29 was 50.2 Fah­renheit.
and its rainfall, 32.59 inches. Because of
the location on Lake Erie, its winters are mild and
its summers cool. There are frequent weather
Water Supply
The water system of Cleveland is one .of the
many well-organized City departments, and ~s .con­stantly
maintained on a h1gh level of eff1Clency
and excellence. With the completion of ·~~e .Bal~­win
Reservoir and the filtratioI). plant adJol!1mg It,
the entire city and subur.bs are served WIth the
clearest of filtered water only.
The Division of water supplies the needs of the
city of Cleveland, both for home and comme~cla1
uses, as well as those of the three suburban Cltles
of Lakewood, East Cleveland and Cleveland
Heights, and thirty-three neighboring yillages. Con­sumers
in the city and twenty-eight v1llages are on
direct services, the Division of Water reading all
meters and billing ·a1l accounts direct. ~e three
suburban cities and five villages buy therr water
supply in bulk at wholesale from the Division of
Water and sell it to their consumers.
In 1929 the distrtbution system had increased to
2374 miles of pipe and five reservoirs with a com­bined
capa,city of about 288 million gallons. The
averag'e daily pumpage in 1857 was 348,700 gallons,
and in 1929, 1<Ill5,000,000 gallons.
Cleveland receives its present water supply
through two tunnels, the east side or Kirtland
Street tunnel, and the west side or Division Ave­nue
tunnel. The Kirtland street tunnel is con­structed
of brick, 13 inches in thickness, circular
in form and 9 feet in diameter. The tunnel ex­tends
in a northwesterly direction for a distance
of 26,048 feet to crib No.3, which is about 4 miles
from shore.
The Kirtland street intake and crib ,is built of
steel, on a solid timber bottom, 3 feet thlc~. r.est1pg
on a 12-inch and 18-inch grillage. The cnb 1S Cll:­cular
in form and 100 feet in diameter. The dI­ameter
of the well is 50 feet and. the dis~ance
from the timber bottom to t~e mam .floor 18 66
feet. The elevation of the mam floor 1S l!-bout ~8
feet above City datum. The number of mlets IS
12. The elevation of the top of the up~er row of
inlets is approximately 12 feet below C1ty datum
and the elevation of the top of the lower row of
inlets is approximately 24 feet below city datum.
The size of each inlet is 6 feet high, 7 feet wide and
25 feet long. The depth of the water at the crib
is 49 feet. The bottom of the sump is about 117
feet below city datum. City datum is 2.34 feet
a.bove average lake level.
The West Side tunnel consists of one five-fwt
tunnel 9,219 feet long and one seven-foot tunpel
9,177 feet long, both extending from the pumpIng
station to an old crib known as crib NO.4. This
crib is now sealed and fol'lns the junction point for
the above mentioned tunnels. From thls crib or
junction point a 10-foot concrete block tunnel was
constructed whlch extends into the lake a distance
of 1£,123 feet, ending in a submerged intake or crib
known as NO.5. The estimated capaCity of these
combine a tunnels is about 288,000,000 gallons per
day.
Electrical Development
Since the beginning of commer.cial electricity,
Cleveland has been an important focal point of the
electrical industry. This is due, in part, to the'
fact that the electric arc lamp, which did a great
deal toward bringing about the modern electrical
age, was invented in Cleveland by the late Charles
F. Brush. Cleveland also has proved to be a strat­egic
location for electrical manufacturers on ac­count
of its being located very close to the center of
population.
Today the electrical industry in Greater Cleve­land
employs 34,000 individuals, and its alillual pay­roll
is believed to reach $50,000,000.
Employees of the industry are classified as fol­lows:
'Electric light and power, 4,OOOi electric rail­ways,
5,500; jobbers, 500; manUfacturers, 17,000;
manufacturers' agents, 500; telegraph and cable,
1,500; telephone, 5,000.
The CleveLand Electric Illuminating Company,
Cleveland's central station, provides electric service
for more than 300,000 customers, of whom more
than <:73,000 are in Cuyahoga County. The com­pany's
power plants, Lake Shore Station and Avon
Station. are renowned throughout the world for
their effi.ciency. The total capacity of the generat­ing
p}a,nts is approximately 600,000 horsepower and
the plants are connected by means of a 132,000,­volt
transmission system. The company has an in­ternational
reputation for its high standard or serv­ice
and its low rates.
C~le.veland's output of many electrical products
tops that of every other City in the world, while in
the manufacture of many other products, the city
stands on a parity with such important manufac­turing
centers as New York and Chlcago.
One of the most' important electrical articles
manufactured in great quantities in Cleveland is
the incandescent lamp. The plant, laboratories and
auxiliary buildings of the National Lamp Works Of
General Electric Company at Nela Park are a world-renowned show place.
Cleveland also takes high rank as a center of bat­tery
production. Cleveland manufacturers turn out
8;nnually a total of batteries-ranging from flash­hgl?-
t ~,nits to automotive and industrial Units­whIch
l'eaches into the millions.
t . The City al~o ta)<es a front rank in the produc­lOn
of electnc ra1lway cars.
In the manufacture of electric lighting fixtul"d,
Cleveland is a close competitor of New York. I\1
the manufacture of fixtures for outdoor installatlOl.'.,
the ~ity .surpasses the volume of every other com­mumty
m the nation.
Electrical household devices, manufactured in
Cleveland, are used in every part of the country,
and many thousands of units annually are exported.
Alp.ong the articles made in large numbers are elec­trIC.
cleaners, washers, ironers, sewing machines and
vanpus small appliances.
The electrical industry collectively maintains in
Cleveland the foremost electrical league in the
world. This organization, known as the ElectriC!11
League of Cleveland, includes in its membersll1p
several hundred establishments representing all
branches of the electrical industry, and is con­ducted
for business-building and community serv­ice:
~xperts from all parts of the world, including
ASlatlc centers, have visited Cleveland to study thlS
league. -
Educational Center
Since our humble beginning of "schooling," until
now Cleveland schools have grown into an institu­tion'
which has no superior and few equals .in the
country. There is no branch of educatlOn m ~rt,
science literature or mechamcal and manual tram­ing
which is not fully provided for and completely
equipped. The youth, as well as the grown-uI!s, of
Cleveland are therefore assured every educatlOn~1
opportunity and facility. There are. 158 publlc
schools in Cleveland, and several mo,re m prospect!
with an attendance of 146,000 pupils. All SChOOl
buildings, old and new, have bee~ made absolutely
safe against fire. The new bUlldmgs are complete
in every detail of equipment for the developmem;
of the brain and body. Cleveland has twenty col­leges
3,nd three universities affording complete
courses in htgher education. Cleveland is the seat
of Case School of Applied Science, Western Reserve
University and John Carroll University. These in­stitutions
are recognized by the Uni~ed States. GOY­ernment
and the Carnegie FoundatlOn as bemg m
the first rank of American colleges. Case School
and eight of the depart!llents of Wes~e~n. Rese.rve
University are ideally sltuated on adJommg Sl~es
upon Euclid Avenue and lEast Boulevard, opposite
Wade Park, Cleveland College of Western R:ese~ve
University is located in the downtown dlstnct.
Fenn College, of the Cleveland Y .. M. C. A., is .lo­cated
downtown, with day cooperatlOn and .evemIl;g
divisions. Cleveland Law School of Baldwm Um­versity,
the Rufus B. Ranney Law School and the
John Marshal! School of Law offer thorough even­ing
preparatory courses for l~gal education. . 'l;'he
School of Music, Cleveland Kmdergarten Trammg
School and the Schauffler Missionary Training
School offer training in their respective fields. The
Cleveland School of Art; at Juniper Rd. and Mag­nolia
Dr., is one of the nation's advance institu­tions
in industrial art.
The New Public Library
The nucleus of the Cleveland Public Library,
which now circulates over 0 eight million books
through 1,326 distributing agencies, was a collection
of about 1,600 books scattered about in various
schools of Cleveland. These volumes were brought
together during the la;te 50's in a room in the
northwest corner of the Old Central High School
at Euclid and East Ninth.
The new Main Library Building is at 325 Supe­rior
Ave. N.E. This downtown location with its en­larged
accommodations for readers, ha? mo!-,e than

people, and display cases, with. extensive and varied
exhibits changed at frequent mtervals.
Library service i:s given at the Main Library, the
Municipal Reference Library in the City Hall, 30
neighborhood branches, 38 scl:l.ooi .branches, 118
stations and 1,061 class-room hbranes.
For those desiring either suggestions for their
own reading or to continue their fo!m~l edl,lcation,
printed lists are prepared foJ;' fr~e. distnbtutlOn and
special lists made to meet mdlvldual needs. Free
book talks are given at the Main Library and some
branch libraries, neighborhood entertainments at
several branches, and at all branches, story hour is
held for the children.
The total number of books issued in 1929 in the
entire li,btary system in the city and county.was
8665656 a number greater than the combmed
circulation of the first twent~-nine years of the
library. There are 292,2166 r.eglstereej. card hol~ers,
and 1 547448 books in the mventoned collectIOns.
West Park Branch, a~ 3"805 West l'57th. st., is the
latest addition to Its cham of nelgb..borhood
branches.
Community Markets
Cleveland has ten retail ~ommuni~y m.arkets
throughout the import~nt busmess sectlOns ~n. the
remote parts of the City;. The D;larket bwldmgs
are all modern. well-lighted, samtary structures,
adapted in every way to such a purpo~e. In each of
these markets food products of all kmds are mal'­keted
at retail. They are at once pppular and
permanent features of Cleveland's tradmg centers.
Cleveland for Your Next Convention
Cleveland is today nationally acknowledged to be
the ideal and complete convention city. I~s location
is unexcelled-over one-half the populatlOn of the
United States and Canada is within a radius of 500
miles. Visitors fro~ the Atlantic Seaboard or the
JNTRODUCTION
MissiSSippi Ri,ver are only "over-night" from C:eve­land.
One hundred seventy-one passenger trains
op~rate in and out of the city daily. From early
sprmg until late fall, passenger boats, some of them
the largest on the Great Lakes, dock at Cleveland's
large ~nd modern piers. Regular air routes are in
op~ratlOn dally between New York, Detroit and
ChIcago. Cleveland Airport has an acreage of 1040
and is considered one of the country's finest.
The Pu,blic Auditorium, one of the largest and
most servlCeable of its kind in America offers un­Ii.
mited facilities for conventions and traae exposi­tlOP.
S or ap sIzes and character. This spacious
bUlldmg, With Its 18 halls and annex, provides more
than 210,000 sq. ft. of exhibit area while the seat­ing
capacities of its many halls range from 100 to
15,000.
Scores of great conventions and trade shows
pave l?een hel~ in Cleveland during the past year,
I~cludmg N;;ttlOnal Metal Congress, American Na­tlOnal
Retal! Jewelers' Association and National
Tool Builders' Association.
Cleveland's prinCipal hotels have been especially
deSigned to fulfill every convention need. One of
their many distinctive features is that aU assem­bly,
banquet and committee rooms are located no
higher than the mezzanine floor thus relieving
completely any congestion at elevators. When con­ventions
like the a.bove mentioned, having regis­tered
attendance ranging from 4,500 to 25,000, have
b.een so successfully housed, one can readily appre­ciate
the adequate hotel facilities which Cleveland
affords the convention delegate and tourist. Cleve­land
hotels rigidly adhere to a strict policy not to
mcrease room rates nor restaurant charges during
conventlOns.
The Convention Board of the Chamber of Com­merce
is especially organizeS! to handle the book­ings
of all types of conventIOns and trade expoSI­tions
and to look after and assist with any netded
arrangements. Through this board, in cooperation
with your Cleveland memibers, you are extended a
cordial invitation to make Cleveland your next
meeting place. Past records indicate conventions
here enjoy unprecedented success.
There are interesting Sights for the visitor to
Cleveland - museums, art galleries, universities,
beautiful churches, and its drives and parks of
great scenic beauty overlooking Lake Erie.
Entertainment also is offered the convention
visitor at public and private golf courses, tennis
courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and
sandy beaches along the lake. In the summer
months enjoyable steamer trips may be made be­tween
Cleveland and Buffalo, Pt. Stanley, Detroit,
Cedar Point, Put-in-Bay and all prinCipal lake
ports.
Playhouse Square and other parts of. dow~town
Cleveland are made notable by movmg-plCture
houses. Cleveland's shopping district delights the
visitor with the completeness of its stores and spe­cialty
shops. Its excellent hotel dining rooms and
restaurants add to the enjoyment and personal
comfort of the visitor.
Retail Shopping District
Visitors to Cleveland are attracted by the wide
thoroughfares in the business districts.
Euclid Avenue is famous as one of the finest
streets in the world. Extending eastward from
the Public Square along this avenue lies the heart
of Cleveland's shopping district, where many large
mercantile establishments occupy new buildings,
considered the finest in the Central West.
In these stores large rest rooms, cozily furnished,
telephones, children's play rooms, postal service
and travel information are only a few of those
little things which make the shopping tour. of
"milady" a pleasure. Many of these stores mam­tain
excellent restaurants as a further convenience
to patrons.
Many smaller shops and stores which specialize
are scattered along the avenue.
Prospect and Superior Avenues, parallell~ng ~u­clid
Avenue on either side, are fast developmg mto
retail shopping districts, second only to that of
Euclid Avenue.
Transportation
The growth of a City depends mostly upon its lo­cation,
"The lay of the land," the location of w;;tter
courses, of lakes and hills and valleys determmes
the trade routes of the world. Wher~ tr.ade routes
meet, cities grow. While Sandusky, With ItS shallo?"
landlocked harbor, is older, .and AShtabl,llahLOram
and Toledo have greatly improv~d their arbor.s,
Cleveland has become the great city of ~orth. OhIO
because the mouth of the Cuyahoga Rlyer IS the
logical place for a great city. Clev~land IS the one
place on the south shore of Lake.Ene nearest to the
Pennsylvania coal fields and With tpe lowes~ and
most direct grades for railroads. Rll:Ilroad b1,llld.ers
saw this first. The coming of the r~llroa4s, lmkmg

Welfare Work
The Welfare Federation of Cleveland,. through its
affiliated organizations, renders p:r:actlCally. eve~y
kind of human service. The FederatlOn IS u~lq~e m
that it has specifiC representation of o,rgamzatlOns,
donors and the city at large upon ItS board of
trustees. .,
The Warrensville Farm Colony IS Cleveland s
most widely known institution of charity and cor­rection.
It is visited annually by numerous students
of the difficult problems of caring for the warj~, qf
society in great centers of populatIOn. Upon "ms
municipally-owned farm of 2,000 acres are loca~ed
buildings for the care and treatment of tuberCUlar
patients; a home for aged and infirm men and
women, with cottages where old couples can spend
their last years together; also a municipal work­house
or house of correction, with ample fields for
employment of its inmates at outdoor labor durmg
open weather, and shops for winter. UI!0n the

City-Manager Plan of Government
In November, 192'3, the city held its :f).rst election
under the new city manager, proportIOnal repre­sentation
charter, adopted in 1921 by a .vot~ of
77 888 to 58204. Under this charter, nommatlOns
for council are made by petition,. ea~h petitiG.h to
be signed by 500 electors of .the dlstrlCt,. who nave
not signed any other candidate's petltlOn. One
hundred nineteen candidates qualified for the 25
seats in council, as compared with 168. under the
ward system in 1921, 38 of them being m the first
district, 20 in the second, 18 in the third and 43 ill
the fourth.
The plan of proportional representation as pro­vided
for in the chart~r is expected to resu~t in
real practical accomplishments. The council. IS
required to appoint a city. manager. a~ the c.lllef
executive officer of the CIty, and It. IS prOVided
that the manager need not be a resident of the
city or state and that he sh~ll ~ot be a member
of the council. The manager IS gIVen power to .ap­point
administrative sU'bor~inates ~hose apPOlpt­ment
is not otherwise prOVided for m the ehar"er.
All such officers and employees are made Imme~­ately
responsible to the manager and may be diS­charged
by him at any time. Tp,e counCil. and Its
committees are specifically forlbldden to mterfere
in any way with appOintments by the manage~;
and, except for the purpC!s~ of i.J;lquiry, the council
may deal with the admmlstratlVe serVlCe of tne
City only through the. manager. The amend1p.~nt
provides for the creatIOn of the several admmlS­trative
departments, and prescribes their proced­ure
somewhat in detail. Elaborate J:>udgetary pro­visions
are included, and the same IS true regard­ing
civil service, franchises, special assessm~nts for
public improvements, and many other subJects. .,
Under the new city charter, the. first counCh
chosen by proportional representatIOn and. the
manager and administration set up through that
council, the people of Cleveland have had good
government, in many respects better goyernment
than in the past. Service balanced agamst rea­sona.
ble costs is the first measure of good govern­ment.
The people of Cleveland have had good
service as expressed in streets paved, clean~ and
lighted, parks rebuilt and im'p~oved ~~d. m the
betterment of nearly all mumCipal faCilities.
Reasonable ,costs have been demonstrat~d J;>y the
preservation of the recently-established pn!lclple of
living within operating income, the turmng over
of cash balance of $525,000, the moderate and m­telligent
use of the city's bonding power.
In addition. the people have had a government
which to an unusual degree has combined dignity
and vision with operating efficiency. ~n the CI~y
Manager and the members of the city Councll,
the people have found earnest and enlightened
spokesmen. Public opinion, .as reflected. J:>:'{ the
newspapers and in the resolutIOns and actiVitIes. of
all kinds of civic associations, is well satisfied w~th
the administrative performance of the first !lve
years; the con census is practically unanimous on
this proposition.
It is interesting to note that after three ,specill!
elections, at which times amendments. of various
kinds were offered the people, the origmal chaTter
has won out on all occasions. At the last eleGfion
of this kind (August 20, 1929), the "amendment"
lost by over three thousand votes.
The "Why" of the Y. M. C. A.

the forefront of the city's social and educational
institutions. Its activities have kept pace with the
city's growth and prosperity, anp. its work is as

itself. Organized in 1854 for the purpose of phys-
14
ieal, intellectual, mental and moral development
of ,boys and young men, it has maintained its steady
growth until today "Central" and its fourteen
