Here's the story behind the slogan, Trenton Makes, World Takes:

As for the message being conveyed, well, Trenton really doesn't make much anymore. The Roebling wire plant shut down 24 years ago. The car, anvil, tool, watch, cigar factories - all are gone. A few, scattered light manufacturing plants still carry on, but for the most part, the business of Trenton is in state government, health and other service industries.
