The Grateful City
The town of Albert was once an exclusively agricultural centre, Toulet made it an industrial centre. It is thanks to him that the iron industry, especially that of machine tools, became the focus of local activity. The development of the iron industry in Albert has resulted in an increase in population, the enlargement of the city, an increase in wages, and an increase in the general well-being.
