In 1909 Bridgeport, Connecticut, was among the largest industrial cities in the state, with factories producing firearms, automobiles, and corsets. Remington Arms and the Union Metallic Cartridge Company made rifles and ammunition along the Pequonnock River, while the Locomobile works built automobiles sold across the country. The Warner Brothers corset factories employed many of the city's women workers, and trolley lines carried crowds from the neighborhoods to the mills each morning. Bridgeport's population had passed 70,000 by 1900, and the city was building schools, churches, and new streets for the families arriving from Italy, Ireland, and Eastern Europe.
