The "Key" Point.

In the extreme northwestern part of Ala
bama, on the Tennessee river, below all the
shoals and Instructions to river navigation,
a syndicate Of English capitalists have Sc
lected Riverton, as a point most suitable in
all respects for the establishing of large
manufacturing enterprises, such as rolling
mills, pipe foundries, steel and iron indus
tries, etc. At the head of this syndicate
is Mr.. A. Parrish, a cultured gentleman,
well known as a great financier, and whose
quick insight and clear Judgment have
enabled him to start-and bring to sue
cessful issue-a great many enterprises
demanding large capital and executive
ability. He is at the head of one of the
associates have been connected with many
successful and prosperous business invest
ments in what Chauncey NJ. Depew calls
''the bonanza OF the future.n
The fact that gentleman possessing
the business talent and experience of Mr..
Parrish should have selected, after a careful
survey Of the whole field, the old town OF
Chickasaw NOW Riverton) as the best
place in the south for q great commercial
and manufacturing site, is q guarantee OF
its future success and rapid growth. Mr..
Parrish is a comparatively young man and
from the very start it would seem that his
great intuitive financial qualities have
enabled him to come TO correct conclusions
in all the business transactions which he
has undertaken: he very wisely selected
Riverton as the most suitable site for q city
in a commercial sense, also from its natural
advantages, as it is located in the Tennessee
valley, known as the richest in the sonth,
and on a point on the Tennessee river where
it is below all Instructions of shoals, and
navigation can be carried on the year
round.
In addition to it's advantages for shipping
purposes, the very foundations of the town
are iron ore, and the brown hematite, used
SO extensively at Sheffield, is plentiful in
this vicinity.
With all these facts before us and a man
like MIR. A. Parrish at the head of the enter
prise, no one should hesitate to take advan-
tage Of the opportunity for making money.
securing a home and successful business,
which "Rlverton" now offers.
Mr.. Parrish has ample capital to carry
out the projects Of his company and to assist
those who come with tn EN- to start various
manufacturing industries, or others who
come as merchants, mechanics, or for any
business investment.

but the evidence is at hand that there are
ripper opportunities in the south, where,
covered up for untold centuries, have been
found all the elements necessary in the
manufacture of iron, at a price which
makes competition impossible.
Those who enter now into these new enter
prises-such as Riverton-are the ones who
will reap the richest harvest ia the end,
and obtain for themselves some of the great
fortunes which have been made by others
in the older established cities, such as Bir-
