NEW ULM's GREAT GROWTH.
Rapid Strides in Substantial Development
Evidenced by the Building Statistics Of
1890.
Big Enough for a Boom, but so Steady
as to be Hardly Noticed.
Over $4,000 in Building Improvements
Within the Present Year,

Within the Present Year.
A perusal of the building statistics
of New Ulm for the present year shows
that the town has been undergoing
remarkable but steady advancement
Buildings have been springing up
every where and all of them are
credit to the city. On all hands there
is evidence of solidity, and the figures
given below represent just so much sub
stantial improvement. 1t will be no.
tlced too that large portion of the
total amount has been expended in neat
little residences. This is a favorable
sign, and we think we can say in all
truthfulness that New Ulm will show
up better this year than any of her sis
ter cities. One hundred and seventy
thousand dollars constitutes princely
sum for town of the size of New Ulm,
and, when it is considered that all this
has been placed to advantage and not
in wild cat undertakings, it demon
strates that of the towns of the valley
New Ulm is unquestionably the best
place for safe and profitable investments.
The coming year also gives promise of
being just as productive of steady
growth, if not even more SO than the
present one. The past, the present and
the outlook show conclusively that New
Ulm is on the sure road to material
wealth and prosperity, and it should
be the duty of every citizen to assist as
much as is IN his power to add thereto.
