Sir George Pullman's magnificent city
just out of Chicago Will not be in the
same class with the industrial
city which will be built on
the confines of Minneapolis. There is
capital in unlimited quantities behind
the enterprise. The men who are in

rich are said to be men
who are putting money into the
venture and they are not actively en-
gagged in the enterprise. The plan to
establish magnificent Industrial
city just outside the present city
limits is not a scheme on paper.
There is money in the hands of active
business men behind it, and a good deal
of the preliminary work has already been
done. This new Pullman will be located
on the territory now known as st. Louis
Park. with additions to it purchased
recently. The land already bought is
touched by the Milwaukee, the st.
LoniS and the Great Northern roads,
lenc as will be readily seen, there
facilities. The presence of these
three roads will also insure adj
vantageous rates for shippers. Some
time ago it was announced
that Louis F. Menage contemplated es-
tablishing an industrial city just beyond
the northern boundaries of the city.
That scheme Mr.. Menage abandoned
SO that he could go into this one,
the more recent plan Offering far great
er opportunities for the investment of
money and the realization of profits.
Already $500 acres of land, the aggregate
cost of which is S1,5O0,000, have been
purchased by the capitalists above men
toned, and other deals are now pending
by which at least 1000 acres of land
advantageously situated for manu-
come into the ownership of
the syndicate. Manufacturing
plants of all kinds will be erected.

modern science and skill have produced; :;
side tracks sufficient to accommodate
cars enough to carry away all of Mlnne-
apOlis will be put in and comfortable
homes for the accommodation of work
men will be erected. This erection of
homes will he feature Of the enter

millionaire. so that the humble artisan
will be deprived of none of the COM
forts which now surround his employer
Business blocks will be erected. for
the workman must have stores to
supply him with the necessaries and
comforts of life. Places of amusement
will not be neglected either, but
why partlcularize? Nothing that
is found in any well-regulated
city will be wanting from this
municipality of workingmen. AS for
the enterprises which will locate in this
new city, all that has not been left to
chance. Yesterday the GLOBE an
nounced that deal had been
closed whereby the Seeder &
Cultwater manufactory, now located at
Horizon, Wis, would come to Mime
apolis and be established at st. Louis

Nearly all of the others already Sc
cured are large. The names of the
firms which have promised to locate in
this ideal city will not be divulged
as yet by the syndicate, the main
tanning the enterprise has not
fully ripened, but they unhesitatingly
declare that there is no doubt of the
ultimate realization of their plans, as
they are all ready to begin the work of
building. They promise that the world
never saw such a model of an Industrial
city as they will, within few years,
have on the spot where now vagrant
cows wander and the this blooms.
