READ and REFLECT.

An old saying is ''that the
waters are affording as many OPP
portunities for catching fish at the
present time as the past ever en-
joyed." And also ''that fortunes
are as easily obtained now as they
were years ago" Yes, and there
is reason to believe that even bet.
ter opportunities are now present
ed than in the past. Our country
great as it is with its 100000
of inhabitants, is hardly out of its
infancy. and many place which
has not yet been brought to the
front, will yet become noted me-
tropolis.
Minnesota is one of the great
states-in fact is an empire in it.
self, and in the southern portion
OF this empire, in the garden of
the state, is Mankato, the only
place in SouthernMinnesota which
has future for large city be-
fore it. On account Of her great
natural resources, which exceed
those of any other city of the state
consisting of stone, cement, clay,
lime and wood, together with the
pure water supply, its fine loca-
ton, healthy climate, and surround
ed by one of the finest agricultural
sections of the west, Mankato has
advantages unsurpassed by any
other locality in the west. Be
sides this, the city enjoys school
advantages which entities it to the
position of an educational center.
Consider all these advantages,
and it is easy to see that Mankato
is destined to become a city of at
least 100000 inhabitants. Great
advancement was made in 1892,
when six new factories were open
ed, The city now has seven stone
quarries, 9 brick yards, 8 lime
kilns, packing house, fbreware
works, knitting mills, soap fac
tory, malt house, oil mill, brewery,
9 flour mills, 3 machine shops,
boiler works, 2 candy factories,
cracker factory, 2 furniture fac
tories, 3 marble works, 4 cigar
factories, 2 carriage factories, shirt
factory, cement works, cement
sewer pipe works, creamery mfg.
company, canning factory. All
of these institution S are doing a
profitable business and charging
their capacity from time to time.
A wire fence factory will also be
located here in few weeks. There
is every certainty that Mankato
will become a noted western man
ufacturing center, as well as
wholesale and jobbing city. Al
ready there Is represented in that
line wholesale grocery house,
boot and shoe house, fruit house,
bottling houses and egg packing
houses. 1t IS city in which many
