Wisconsin's Semi-CentenniaI

Time will work wonders. Half CEN
fury of push, progress and advance,
has developed the crude. wild territory
state of to-day. Fortunate in it's poss-
esslons Of rich mineral resources, splen-
did timber lands and fertile soil; by the
aid Of the mighty hand of civilization
large cities have sprung up, immense
manufacturing plants have been erected
and fine farms developed. To properly
celebrate this progress, Milwaukee is
making great preparations for the
carnival to be held next summer.
A very important factor in the up
building of Wisconsin is a railway
system knowna as the Wisconsin Central
Lines, which traverses the state from
the southern boundary, north to Lake
Superior, and west to st. Paul and
Minneapolis.
Running through the rich mineral
belt ana forests of Northern Wisconsin
iron ore deposits, beds of clay, kaolin
and mari, together with plenty of hard
wood, as well as pine, offer extraordin-
airy inducements for the location of
factories and manufacturing plants.
Low freight rates. unexcelled facilities
for reaching the market, and quick
transit of shipments, make the offer
very attractive. Manufacturers and
other interested can obtain detailed
information by addressing W. H. Klllen,
Industrial Commissioner, Milwaukee,
Wis.
A word to the poor man, or of moder.
ate means. Farming lands in northern
Wisconsin are of the best and can be
obtained cheaply and at reasonable
terms. Any man of thrift, by industry,
can build home for himself and family
and make fine living on one of these
