REALTY AND BUILDING.
The Chamber of Commerce Holds an
Important Meeting.
Preparing for the Proper Reception Of the
Southwest Texas ExhlbIt-Real Estate Pros
pects-Ihe Meeting on the 9th
AN EXHIBIT HALL,


citation, with President A. 5. Reed a.
prime mover, has so far advanced with
the work of organization that they have
prepared an exhibit from the varied re-
sources of one of the finest producing
sections of Texas, and propose accepting
permanent headquarters in connection
with the exhibit in this city about
Septem Der 6.
At the time the P. c. C. association
was organized few months since Fort
Worth was most ably represented by Nr.
Allen and others, and through their IN
firing zeal for the general good of the
country the offer made by the chamber
of commerce to furnish suitable room for
an exhibit with a mau to attend the
same was readily accepted by the COM
mittee on organization.
Such enterprise as shown By Fort
Worth business men cannot be oy err
praised.
NOW THE THING TO
do is to erect a suitable building on the
west side of the Union depot platform
Here the front would be in plain view OF
all incoming and outgoing trains, and so
near the train that it would allow thou
sands of people to examine the varied dis
play of productions who, otherwise,
would pass to some other section or pos
sibly out of the state without seeing the
most convincing testimonials of pros
perlty and enterprise.
As surely as man g life depends upon
the air he inhRles so does the life and
future growth of Fort Worth depend
upon the country adjacent to and pene-
trated by the railroads. And every eff
fort TO upbuild and populate the country
with prosperous class of citizens is g
step that will insure TO Fort Worth
steady growth and unknown prosperity.
Fort Worth to-day actually needs more
of all the products that can be produced
by filling the soil than ever before; she
wants cheaper coal aud more mhnufact-
uring, and with the completion of every
manufacturing enterprise there is an iu-
creased demand for the product of the
surrounding country.
II will pay to look for the "man with
the hoe, - to have him locate and be-
come q citizen in this very largo country
that but recently began growing. In
fact, with a population of 3 900, 900,
Texas to-day is only learning to crawl.
At the meeting of the chamber OF
commerce yesterday T. b. Burbridgs,
". S. Marshall, w. NJ. Boring, c. c.
Allen aud A. A. Green, Jr., were aD-
pointed committee TO make all
necessary arrangements for the ac-
commodation of the association
and the proper placing of the exhibit.
Southwest Texas is at work and will find
q strong ally in Fort Worth. The exhibit
is said TO be very fine.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING.
The meeting of the chamber of COM
merce yesterday afternoon was largely
attended and was very satisfactory.
President VanZandt being sick, Vice
President J. c. Mccarthy presided over
the deliberations. After calling the
meeting to order, Chairman Mccarthy
congratulated the members on the large
attendance and on the promising out
look for Fort Worth. He announced
that the pork packery would be ready
for operations on November /. It was
announced, he said, that work of
Strengthening cattle at the Dahlman re-
frigerator would begin October II.
Ground had been broken for the brewery
and large cotton mill was assured for
the city. All this was very encouraging.
The committees on manufactures was
instructed to visit the large saddlerv and
harness factory of J b. Askew, and TO
report the result back to the chamber OF
commerce.
George L. Hurley, r. f. McAuulty,
r. N. Hatcher, Wallace Hendricks and
H. C. Caswell were appointed q COM
mittee to make all arrangements for the
manufacturers and business men 5 con-
vention to be held in Fort Worth on Sep
TENDER q.
Copies of the book on Fort Worth,
printed by the chamber of commerce,
were exhibited. These books treat OF
Fort Worth as u city aud contain no ad-
vertisements whatever.
Real estate in the city and suburbs of
Fort Worth is cheaper than in any city
with one-half its population in the United
States. That this is being appreciated Is
evidenced by the recent heavy purchases
made by some or our shrewdest and best
business men, and it is safe to say that
our real estate is attracting more atten-
ton at this time than ever before, not
only from our own people but from for
eign capital, and that real estate in Fort
Worth must and will take rank with that
of cities of its class is absolutely certain.
This means a decided advance, and
purchases intelligeutly made cannot fail
TO show good profits.
