Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1871-11-22

We are.pleased to note the fact that We have
lust completed and delivered the last of an issue
Of several thousand of the Tennessee Land Regis
terS, published by Messrs Munson & Bailey,
Real Estate and Fire Insurance Agents of our
city, and who, we must say, rs we have often
previously said, are entitled to great credit for
their enterprise and zeal in the work Of omgra-
ton. These gentlemen have published during
the past (lS) eighteen months from commence
ment of their business about Q4,OOO) fourteen
thousand circulars tho greater part of which
having been printed on fine book paper and in
book-form. Their experience teaches that this
mode of representing the country and advertis-
ing property Is the most judicious, from the fact
that book will be kept and read and handed to
others to read, and they know of many instances
where single Register has been handed
around and read by a whole neighborhood,
the result of which was that "representatire'i
was sent out TO "look around and report" many
of whom have visited East Tennessee during
the past year. Besides the large number Of
Land Registers published by these gentlemen
they have, also, published very correct and
complete small map of the State, which is also
being distributed for the benefit Of those seeking
| information about our country. We can also
| add, that these publications have been most iu-
dciously distributed, the most of which have
been sent TO parties actually writing for infor-
nation.
The results of this enterprise and great outlay,
are now being realized by our city and country,
witnessed by a number of sales of farm lands
| to persons of considerable means and the build
| ing up cur manufactures, and the decision of
! Messrs. Wicks and Eldridge TO start large
wagon and carriage mandatory here, is due to
| them to large extent. They first induced them
TO come here, and on their arrival, gave them all
| the information in their power, showing them
| the various materials to be obtained OF our va
tive production fully convincing them of the
| superior advantages offered for thier business.
We might also add that negotiations are now
going on with capitalists for the building up OF
manufactures in our city which, ii consumma-
ted, will add more to the prosperity of Knox
vile than the building Of all the store houses
erected since the war. These are the great ia
terests of our city-fll up the country TO three
or five times its present number, and build up
our manufactures, and we can then truly be
proud of our beautiful country and excellent
climate. How supremacy ridiculous it is for US
to be bringing wagons from Wisconsin and
| Michigan to be worn out on our own iron beds
or in our woods, of as fine timber as there is in
the world, or as gentleman remarked o few
days since, who knew whereof he spoke,
| I'VE have as fine material as there is anywhere
from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada" as he
knew from personal observation. Cannot ouI
city, our Board of Trade and our various asso-
Citations, of which we can well boast, all dc
something, by way of publication or otherwise
TO let our advantages be known TO the world
Such course would do much to advance oul
interests, and contribute largely to our future
prosperity.
