Laconia, New Hampshire, in 1910 was a city that had been chartered in 1893, and its factories still drew their power from the Winnipesaukee River. Shoe shops remained important, but knitting and hosiery work had grown, and the Boston and Maine rail line carried finished goods out and coal and raw materials in. Many of the workers were French-Canadian and European immigrants who lived in tenements and modest wooden houses close to the mill district. Residents measured their city by its payrolls, its schools, and the steady noise of its works along the river.
