COME TO STAY What? The Owosso
Boom! We will give few reasons why
we think so:-While we would not be-little |
our numerous manufacturing Industries
for to them, we know, is due, in large
measure, the rapid growth of our city-all |
praise to them, We wish to call attention |
to another important feature, which, for |
pern,anency to the Boom, is u necessary |
auxiliary TO the manufacturing interests |
in causing the rapid building up of our
city; we refer to our dealers. AH our
MISUNDERSTANDING by common consent
appear to appreciate the necessity of
making the prices of goods, Of all kinds, so |
t0'c, that they draw trade from every di |
rection for 3O or 40 miles. 1t has become |
well known in erery direction that any |
thing that any human being may wish for, |
can be obtained, cheaper, in Owosso than |
elsewhere, and anything they may have to
sell will bring a better price in Owosso, so |
people come right through other towns TO |
dispose of their products and purchase |
their supplies in Owosso This feature |
of drawing trade from distance is true of !
our retail dealers while many have gradual. |
ly gone into the Uholesate trade reaching |
out further, and further till Owosso has |
become headquarters for quite large job |
bing trade. Strangers come TO our thriv- |
ing city and attribute all its prosperity to |
the great manufacturing interests, Railroad |
shops etc., etc, without needing, or know |
ing, the fact that Owosso is fast becoming |
the centre of east nholesdie trade, which, |
alone. would continue the Boom, in large |
measure, even without those other import |
ant adjuncts. The MICH. s. M. e. o. Co.
alone wholesale many more goods than |
they retail. They wholesale from twenty
to thirty organs per month, and we can't |
say hoto many Ranos Se,oing Machines,
Stools, Books, Bicycles, Tricycles etc., ETC.,
but the fact that they buy at jobbing rates
enables them to sell geTy cheap at retail. |
They can retail a Piano at achotesale price
and realize fair profit. only think
They can retail Pianos, Organs, Setoing |
Machines, Bicycles. Tricycles and, in fact
eperytting they handle at the same prices as
other dealers haze 10 pay, and still realize a
far frcm. SO II Is with many Of our
other dealers. 1t is not strange theE that
stranger should overlook these facts
when many OF our 0ton citizens arc ignorant |
OF this important feature, as a cause of the |
rapid gro,oM of our city and will act as a
sure preventative from reaction taking |
place. which generally follows boom.
These facts have induced us To sav Tys
