NATURAL GAS.


$4,000 in 2,40O feet of gas well, witt
merry a smell of gas, which is enough
and they throw up the sponge
Those big furniture manufactures over
there can now make the best of terms
for best site on earth for gas, water,
soil and climate and scenery right here
i'll Perrysburg. No billiards as
we manufacture them to order-ever
reaches us. They get all broke up on
Michigan before they reach here from
Dakota. Shoull one come by circuit
ors route we can thaw it out in jIffy
with natural gas. We are also well pro.
tected from hurricanes by the heavy
Forest growth of timber between us and
the prairies of the West, and we suffer
10 loss of life and property from this
source. In short we have genuine, all
wool protected by tariff yard wide in
ducements to offer to manufacturers
seeking a pleasant home and profitable
location.
We also have special inducements
for the Blizzard stricken New Yorkers,
Bostonians, and all the New England
States. You have the capital and
miserable location-we have the loca-
tion and scanty capital, but are holding
it for you-the location. Telegraphs
are all up and in good working order by
night and by day-by gas light. Baked
beans, 40 to the pod. grow luxuriantly
in the alluvial soil of the Maumee, and
under the effulgent rays of natural gas
put in double time, thus allowing of
two crops to the season and when the
growth is completed all that is neces-
sary to do is to inrn gas jet on the pod,
bake them, and they are ready to serve
on the half shell.
II you don't wish TO engage in raising
baked beans, or engage in the various
manufacturing enterprises-for which
there is no better open field, with the
bars down for you, but wish to engage
in politics, the grandest field in the Uni
ted States is open to you. Twice year,
and some times oftener, we drop the
hammer and the hoe and give our un-
divided attention to politics, and by per-
severance and industry have got the
fields under excellent cultivation. By
the close OF the present State admins
tration we think there can be created
an office for every male citizen over 81
years Of age, with good paying salary
attached. BY these minors can be en-
p!oyed in reasonable numbers and train
ed up to the duties OF useful citizenship.
The still younger members OF the fam
lily can keep themselves in clothing by
trading with each other on rainy days
and Sundays. When the treasures get
little short in meeting the demands
for all these officials we issue bonds
and give better rates Of interest than the
National Government can afford TO do.
thus creating an excellent market for
your idle capital and for change we
send out the tax gatherer TO rake in the
Beedful TO keep the wheels OF progress in
motion. The legislature is now at work in
creating some additional officials to
gather In the taxes, 80 that II one fails
TO get II the next one will. and should
they all fail we still have the shertfs to
fall back on.
From these random thoughts caught
on the wing as they fit along the banks
of the Maumee, II will be seen that
there is no better location for capital and
labor than right here ON the banks OF the
Maumee. Labor is not necessity il
