Message: From GoLocalProv by Brett Smiley, GoLocalProv Guest MINDSETTER™: Providence has a long and proud history as an economic engine of the United States, leading the country in the manufacturing of base metals and machinery, jewelry and silverware, textiles and more for much of the 19th and early 20th Centuries. In 1867, the water tube boiler was invented and patented by Providence’s own George Babcock and Stephen Wilcox, and within twenty years it was used to power everything from Edison laboratories in New Jersey to President Theodore Roosevelt’s “Great White Fleet.” http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/brett-smiley-we-can-spur-a-true-providence-economic-renaissance
