person must be the worst kind of 9
pessinaist who does not feel encouraged
about Mankato, these days.

My opinion as to the present outlook
for Mankato and her future is, that
it is better than ever. Before / went
into business here / looked up severa
other locations, but always returned
home with the impression that Man
kato was still better point to invest
| in real estate or business of any kind

The present outlook for the pros
perity of Mankato appears to be ex
cellent. New factories are springine
up and the prospects of the realiza
tions of the Mankato improvement
| Company are bright. Mankato is
bound to double its population in a
few years and consequently business
in all branches will increase. Long
live Mankate.
DIR. p. FoLLMANN.
Mankato is now prosperous city.
| The outlook from my present occupa-
tion shows me many prosperous indi-
vidual business houses, and each Of
them pushing for increased trade.
Why not united effort by these indi-
vidual interests to increase the general
prosperity. Individual energy is &C
complishing what it seeks. United
work may do so.
GEO. T. BARR.
Any rapid development to Mankato
implies the necessity of making a
larger extent of country tributary to
our growth and prosperity. This can
be done best be extending our manu-
featuring interests in both native and
imported material, and we can do that
successfully and surely when we cease
to look outside for aid and use our own
power and means to that end.

| believe the present outlook for
Mankato to be all that our good citi-
zens desire to make it. With united
effort on the part of everyone, we can
double our population in five years,
and we ought to do it. If we are only
equal to our opportunity, the develop
ment in the surrounding country in
viteS us to greater progress than we
have been making. Let US all pull
together.

All that Mankato needs to make it
the thriving city in the Northwest is
the cooperation of our citizens. The

We hardly know how to answer
yours about Mankato as seen from the
standpoint of our position in business.
We know of no city, all things con-
Sidered, where our present business
could be carried on to better advan
tage. The same would apply to At
least dozen other branches of paying
manufactures, and from the new life
now exhibited here the advantages

Mankato promises better than ever
before Our farmers that have been
so abundantly blessed with good crops
and big prices are now looking to our
city for future homes, because Of the
eXcellency of our schools. The i'm
portance of the Mankato Improve
ment Company can not be oyer-esti-
mated. With the coming of our pub
lie building and the new knitting
mill enterprise inaugurated by the
MesSrs. Wizards, and the successful
carrying. forward of the MankatO I'm
provement Co. ia connection with our
stone and other natural advantages
means new vigor and successful
growth for Mankato.
