Notwithstanding the "hard times"
Dallas continues TO grow and spread
On every hand new buildings and new
improvements are going on and are be-
Ing made all over the city. New addi-
tons arc being marked out, streets inn
proved, grounds beautifed. In fact,
everything that indicates sound,
healthy and rapid growth that would
be encouraging oven to city several
times larger, that Dallas can boast, is
going on. The prospects for tho fall and
winter trade in real estate IL, TO say the
lsast, iiattering. Many strangers are
already in the city making Inquiries
and Investigations with Wow TO profit
able Investments. They hail from the
northern and eastern states, and are
surprised at seeing such bustling, 20.
ahoad city in this part Of the world.
The many large now brick and stone os-
adjustments that have been completed
during the summer and fall, att act es-
pecial attention and are frequently COM
nented on as being superior TO that class
Of buildings in much larger trade cen
trs, and the small number of business
houses that are offered for sala, is the
surest Indie ation Of such property bong
a safe paying Investment. Dallas can
also boast of having more stylish and
handsome residences than any other
oily in Texas which is perhaps a better
sign of the substantial and solid growth
OF city, than anything else. She in
now considered the great trade eonter Of
the state, and commands better railroad
shipping facilities than any other
inland city. There are more
tiateling statesmen, who make their
headquarters here, than all other
towns In Texas combined. The number
Is something over 800, and according to
Ditn's and the Bradstrsets CONNER
eial agencies reports, Dallas stands see
ond TO the city Of Galveston only in the
value and the amount OF trade. There
AZ many manufacturing projects on
whlch capitalists are calculating, and OF
that class, too, that will not DO ophe-
neral in their continuance, but will add
~ The stability and prosperity of tho
oity and be a great advantage to the
country at large. In fact Dallas has so
oltErown all other cities in Texas that
she reels that she has no rivals, and is
now striving to DO the city of the great
southwest. Among many of the new
improvements arc tho following worthy
OF note:
Mr.. l.. Wagonhouser, an ola and e1-
pedoncod brewer, who has been for
years past engaged IN that business in
~. Louis, made visit to this city in the
early part Of the spring and canvassed
thoroughly the feasibility of doing n
successful business. He found upon eI-
animation that the water was well
