DID YOU EVER
I
TRAVEL ON THE HUDSON RIVER
And note the number of thriving
manufacturing eities that line
its banks?
RAINIER
Is .More Favorably Located for Manufac
turing Purposes than any City
on the Hudson.
IT FACES THE ORIENT
And back of it are vast undeveloped re
sources of Iron, Coal and Timber. River
and Kail 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 floor. A few dollars invested in
Real Estate has made many a man rich.
