A SUBURBAN CITY
With Its Own Churches, Schools,
Stores and Public Park.
TRAINS RUN DAILY
Salt Lakes Most Thriving Suburb Enjoys
Well Graded Streets and the Handsomest
Pavilion on the Utah Nevada.

Garuen Clty IS Just twenty minutes from
Main street.
1t enjoys the best suburban train service
OF any of the other outlying suburbs, and
this will always be secure, as it is on the
road to Garfield.
The story of its growth is full of interest,
and there is no abatement in the progress
sive spirit of its people,
While it is just across the corporation
line, and largely dependent on Salt Lake,
II Is there on its own account, and if Salt
Lake was destroyed by fire this Sunday
morning the people of Garden City would
worship in their own church, retire to their
own homes, or to one of the hotels and
Monday morning send their children
to their own school, while the SER
want did the marketing at their
general store, just the same as if Salt Lake
had never existed.
''Will you take a run down to Garden
Citys" asked Mr.. w. H. Shearman of THE
HERALD reporter. The reporter stepped

train, and while admiring the chain of eter-
nal hills that encircled the little valley the
train moved across the Jordan and soon
Whistled down brakes and came to a stop.

man, pointing to the building that serves
the double capacity of railway depot and
general offices of the Garden City Improve
ment company. The pavilion is a two
story building of the rustic design and is
an ornament to the place.
The first thing that greeted the report
er's ears after the locomotive had pulled
| out in the direction of Garfield Beach was
an artesian well gurgling and splashlng the
purest, clearest aquatic fluid that the earth
could give up, and no mountain brook ever
gave forth purer fountain of perpetual
| youth.
The pavilion stands in the centre of q
wide boulevard, graded to line, and with
good healthy shade trees growing on either
side of the promenades. Looking down
THE Grove" as this boulevard is called,
the t1rst brick building to the left is
| boarding house for the large gang of work
men that are grading the streets, building
new houses and identifying the place. The
next building is the brick schoolhouse.
Mrs Whipple is conducting a large and
prosperous school, largely patronized by
children of Salt Lake people,
] To the left of the grove is also a new
two-story frame which will be conducted
as atirstclass hotel and number of sum-
mer tourists will be accommodated that
| they may enjoy country life in the beauti-
full suburban city. Further on still is the

which is to be one of the attractions of the
place, as the population of Garden city is
made up of a moral class, of people, many of
whom came from the east TO seek health
and comfort and quiet and the advantages
of home life, free from the dirt and rowdy-
ism of city life.
There are flower gardens and orchards
and rich farming settlement beyond, all
of which attests the fine quality of the soil,
while the rudy faces and rosy cheeks of
the children at play on the school ground
told of the salubriOus salt sea breeze that
| is constantly blowing over this region
from the great lake.
The attractions of Garden City as sub
urban resort, convenient to business men
of this city, have induced such men as
Geo. w. Hazen, president of the First Ma
tional bank, Walker Smith, the contractor
h. a. Franks, G.. b. Anderson, E. A. Trip,
dentist, Mr.. Alderman, the printer, DR.. A.
b. Dunford, and hundreds of business and
professional men, to buy lots upon which
to build their future homes.
| Among the gentlemen from other cities
who own lots in Garden City, are E. L. VOL
colt, Pocatello, Mrs. M. A. Woods, Au-
rora, j. Broughton, Walkerville, Mrs Geo.
Dash, Pocatello, Albrez 81 Yoder, the Butte
jewellers, and many others.
! Altogether over 1900 persons have pur-
chased building sites in Garden City, and

never had cause to regret their action.
There are but few more lots to be sold to
close out the entire addition, as the owners
are reServ1ng a number of the choice cor
ners upon which to build
| Lots on well graded streets can be had
as low as S125 and on easy payments, while
the very pick of Garden City building sites
can be secured now at S17j, lots equally as
good as sell for from 81 900 to g, 900 in the
city.
| To the men in moderate circumstances,
who desire to live within their means,
cheap suburban homes with the quiet life
and healthy social atmosphere, is prefera-
BILE to the noise and smoke and jam of the
crowded city. The Utah 81 Nevada with
its fourteen suburban trains affords the
same rapid transit as is enjoyed in the
larger cities, and the pretty little pavilion
station tells the passengers of the taste
and thrift Of Garden City. The shopping
wants of the residents are met with well
equipped store and a delivery wagon
lays its packages at your door at prices
guaranteed to meet those of city mer-
chants. A good day and boarding schools
flourishing, and music as well as the pri-
mary branches are taught. Pleasant homes,
well graded streets, pure air, a refreshing
lake breeze, cool artesian water, rich
sandy loan, make life in the Garden City
as enjoyable and full of home comforts as
any spot that could be selected.
BOULEVARD AND PUBLIC PARK.
In addition to all these attractions Garden
City can shortly be reached over the Bast
boulevard, which is already receiving large
contributions from the enterprising men
who live in that vicinity. A public park
has also been provided for this locality and
no money is spared to make it the most de-
sirable places to live.
Persons desiring to secure pleasant homes
at prices within their reach should call on
w. H. Shearman, the president and treas
urer of the company, who has his Office in
Godbe-Pitts drug store at the corner of
First South and Main street.
