A CIRCULAR LETTER.

ADMISSION, ALABAMA, April w 1883.
Dear Sr:-Here in the mountains of Northern
Alabama is a beautiful, healthy and rapidly
growing city. Scarcely six years agoit opened
wide its door to the public and to-day it has over
10000 inhabitants. Admission, the "Model City,
is known to be a substantial and progressive
manufacturing centre. What it has already ac-
complished is revelation in itself, not only in
the magnitude, but the diversity of its industries
The history of this young city is confined to few
years The first furnace was built in 1873, and the
successful development of the rich resources of
this wonderful region induced its founders to pre-
pare the foundation of beautiful city. 1t was not
until 1885, however, that any property was sold to
the public, since which time Annston's solid
prosperity and rapid growth have not been equal
led. With an inexhaustible supply of the richest
iron, coal and limestone, it has built more SUBJ
stantial enterprises than any city in the South.
You can understand from this, my dear sir, that
Admission is not 'town on paper.' A nucleus
has been fol med here which will inevitably result
in the making of one of the greatest towns in the
South With immense furnaces, extensive car
and carwheel shops, the largest iron pipe foundry
in the United States, the most complete cotton
factory in the South, and number of other large
and successful enterprises, Admission is command
ing attention from manufacturers capitalists,
settlers, and investors throughout the entire
country.
Already we have beautifully macadamized
streets, electric lights, gas, waterwor1s, streetcar
lines, fine schools, churches of all denominations,
and every modern convenience; splendid bust
blocks and residences of the latest architect
ural design. Four railroads complete give us
competitive rates. Is not such city deserving
of your especial consideration particularly so
when you are credib.y informed that over
100000 per month is now paid out to employees
by industries; that over 81 10000 put in
buildings during the year 1888; that the popula-
ton of Admission has doubled in the past eigh teen
months; that it has now projected two new rail-
roads, and that the esta bishment of rolling mills
car works, cotton factories, and many other in
dustries are almost certaintes for the year 1899
Real estate is increasing i'll value, that those
who invest large or small amounts, realize hand
some profits. After an experience of three years
In the real estate business in the South and with
thorough knowledge of values in this progress
sive city, feel competent to recommend invest
ments for residents, which will prove most
remunerative.
The Piedmont Air Line, via Danville and
Atlanta, is the direct route to Admission. The
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia R. r., via
Bristol and Cleveland, Tennessee, and Rome,
| Georgia, is another very attractive way of
reaching this point
| Bear in mind Admission is only in her infancy
that she has reason to claim popua ton of $4,000
in few years. Those who invest or locate now
will get the advantage of this growth SO don't
defer your investigation of the great induce
ments here offered.
| l earnestly solicit correspondence on this or
any other subject which may interest you con-
corning this section. A handsome list of city
property, mineral, timber, and farming lands,
will be furnished upon application, as will also
attractive illustrated pamphlets relative to this
