Sixty-four plants, located mostly in the Naugatuck Valley, during 1925 produced almost a third of the total output of brass goods for the United States. The value of these products in the United States that year was $519, 725,195, Connecticut's share was $156,141,974, or 30 per cent of the total; it leads every other state. Next to Connecticut, New York state turns out the most brass goods, in 1925 amounting to $89,875,101. Michigan, Illinois and Pennsylvania follow in the order named. The combined value of their products was approximately $125,000,000, Massachu=~ setts is the only other New England state which has a substan- tial output in this line. In 19 eighty plants produced goods valued at $13,196,795. Six plants in New Hampshire made pro- ducts valued at $501,968, and twelvc in Rhode Island, $727,491. More than 20,000 wage earners and several thousand salaried employes were engaged in this industry in 1925, Materials cost $102,655,562 and wages amounted to $28,339,321. Trass manufacturing factories were established in Connecticut as carly as 1750, growing rapidly through the importation of English machinery and skilled labor. Steady growth of these concerns continued during the nincteenth century. In 1900, 58 Connecticut plants turned out products valued at $48,526,868; 13,277 employes received $7,507,084 in wages and salaries, and materials * cost $36,185,970.
