AS THE STRANGER SEES THE
TOWN.
As a city of home, and of progress
Irenes Grant Pas make a deep Im
pression upon all who riait the town.
Every branch of social life, every line
of Christian endeavor and every facility
for thorough edncation ' la made easy
for the inhabitant. A a community
containing only satisfied people, there
I none which equals Urant Push,
and the resident as a rnle have per
manently located themselves h!re.
This Is, and always will he, the
manufacturing center of rhis district,
and there is easily obtained an abund
ance of eloct'ieal power, which will
make umtitifuct Jrlna lnternsU excep
tionally easy of development. We
have a box f ictory here as well as a
hh!i and door fuctory, which are sec
ond to none. They will be foaud
mentioned In another part of this
publication "whore their advancement
is fully doner i bed. The financial in
terests of the olty are iu good hands
and managed In a progressive and
Miergetio way. The moral atmosphere
of the city is generally wholesome, it
being in fact, a olty of churches, a
dozen different denominations being
here represented. It is owe of the
most healthful cities in the United
Btntes, and "hears the distinction of
having the lowest death"rate of any
olty in the Union. It is the residence
of many professional men of ability
and has always furnished its propor
tion of prominent representatives iu
all matters of 8tate. There are num
berless o;iKrtouitles open for those
looking for a buaiuesa location, there
. being Just now, wing to the rapid
strides made in the fruit ludustry, a
particularly fine opening in the way
of a first class cannery, and the grow
ing dairy business paves the way for
a creamery. Witli the coming of the
new rallr ad, we will without quest
Ion see the erect lou of a furniture
factory, ami artur sncli starts as

question that all those who read this

to you, as well as a future home in. one
of the most ieautiful"'sHts iu the
West.
grandeur of her future attainments is
almost inconceivable to the average
mind, and the various avenues and
lines of business yet unoccupied will
beond a doubt prove a rich financial
harvest to the pioneers who enter
therein. A city is what the citizens
make it. And a comprehensive, in
dividual review, describing in full
each retail interest and its accom
plishment is ample proof, if proof is
Deeded, of all the features to which
we have drawn particular attention
regarding Grants Pass and the sur
rounding territory. The sketches

Home trading is the secret of success
Id all communities. We have held
forth upon the boundless resources and
possibilities of oar county, and its
ideal environments, but to make this
territory and our city in particular
and the busiest of its iize, it is neoes
sary that ItheJ wealth;. of I the whole
