DID YOU EVER
TRAVEL ON THE HUDSON
RIVER
And note the number of thriving
manufacturing cities that line
its banks?
RAINIER
Is More Favorably Located for Manufac
turing Purposes than any Uty
on the Hudson.
IT FACES THE ORIENT
And back of it are vast undeveloped re
sources of Iron, Coal and Timber. River
and Rail traverse it. Nowhere in the
whole world is there a better location
for a manufacturing city.
City Lots in Rainier at very reasonable
rates and liberal terms. Get in on the
ground iloor. A few dollars invested in
Real Estate has made many a man rich.
