THE TRAVELLING MEN
Who Make Their Homes in Mexico on
Account Of its Situation and
Many Advantages.

Perhaps no city of its size in the
State can boast of being the home of
as many travelling men as can Mexico.
There are many reasons for this,
probably the most important one be-
ing the location of this enterprising
city. Set in the midst of a rich agri-
cultural and stock raising district and
connected with the outside world by
the two greatest railroad systems of
the west, the Chicago & Alton and the
Wabash, our city has become the
home OF many of the travelling repre-
~sentatives of the large commercial
and manufacturing houses of this
country. Added to the location and
business advantages of Mexico are its
many social advantages. In religious
way we are blessed with many and
prosperous churches, all of which have
large congregations. Our public
schools are second to none in the
State, and for the higher education OF
young men and ladies, we can offer
the Missouri Military Academy and
Ladies' College, both of which are
under able management and have a
full corps of efficient instructors. Our
society is composed of educated and
intellectual people, and for hospitality
the people of Mexico cannot be ex-
celled.
