Auburn, Maine's 50th
Sprague's Journal of Maine History

AUG. SEPT. OCT 1919

The city of Auburn, Maine, on Sept. 12, 1919, held a semi centennial celebration.  
The historical address was delivered by the Honorable George C. Wing who is one 
of the men of Maine who takes a deep interest in it's history. 

Step by step, from earliest beginnings, he traced Auburn's growth--in industry, in 
commerce, in education; and it was a narrative that must have brought a little thrill 
of civic pride to those who heard, for it showed in Judge Wing's clear and illuminating 
style, how this fair community by the Androscoggin has won an honored place among 
New England cities.

One does not exaggerate in saying that this history by Judge Wing will become an 
historic document--a striking contribution to Maine's literature and knowledge.
