from "Pittsburgh- How to see it" (1916)
The Pittsburgher’s Creed


I believe in Pittsburgh the powerful- the progressive. I believe in the past of Pittsburgh and in the future founded on the heritage of that past; of clean living, frugal, industrious men and women of poise, power, purity, genius and courage. I believe that her dominant spirit is, has been, and always will be for uplift and betterment. I believe that my neighbor stands for the same faith in Pittsburgh, altho his expression may vary from mine. I believe in Pittsburgh of the present, and her people- possessing the virtues of all nations- fused thru the melting pot to a greater potency for good. I believe in taking pride in our city, its institutions, its people, its habits.

I believe in the great plans born of initiative, foresight, and civic patriotism in the minds of the great men of today; here-now. I believe that the Pittsburgers who truly represent her are those of God fearing lives, scorning ostentation and the seats of the ungodly: building surely, quietly and permanently.

I believe that those who know Pittsburgh love her, “her rocks and rills, and templed hills.” I believe that Pittsburgh’s mighty forces are reproduced in a mighty people, stanch like the hills,- true like steel.


James G. Connell Jr. 1882-1914

He was only 32. That's sad.

I don't know what he passed of. Mr. Connell was an executive with the Western Pennsylvania Paper Co., which had just built a new facility at Penn Ave. and Barbeau St.- where the Pittsburgh Hilton is today.
