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.
