clTlF9 AND TOWNS.
How They Are Built Up and What
Gives Them Permanency.

Towns and cities are built where
exist the greatest natural advantages.
Growth and importance depends on en-
vironments and conditions. Require
ments are that there be some manner
Of employment for their population.
Thus the business OF the place fixes its
standing. 1t is then evident that the
greater are the resources of a country
and the more enterprising its people,
the more important will be its cities
and towns. Some locations have fa-
yorable conditions for certain lines of
manufacture. and single industries
support thousands, like the textile in
dustry at Fall River. and the manu-
facture Of jewelry at Providence, r. l.
Others have shipping facilities that
cause them to become great CONNER
cial centers. No city can exist within
itself, free and Independent of tribu-
tary territory. but must depend upon
a large scope Of country to supply 1t
with the products necessary for the
sustenance Of its people, and for the
marketing Of its articles Of commerce,
and its manufactures.
Towns and cities decay when their
business interests are destroyed. In
the west, particularly in the mining
sections. can be found hundreds of ex-'
amples illustrative OF this fact The
discovery Of mine is sufficient to
gather people to compose city. With
the exhaustion of it's mineral re-
sources business is destroyed and the
town becomes deserted. In agricul-
tural sections exist commercial towns,
made necessary by the development
of the surrounding country Such
towns are supported by the trade that
can be attracted from a certain scope
Of territory, and Industries that can
be established to employ labor With
development of tributary country, and
expansion of industries, and the exer-
else of enterprise many Of these towns
attain the magnitude Of cities and be-
come important commercial and finan-
cial centers. With their growth farms
adjacent increase in value. The truth
Of this is in evidence in nearly every
state of the union While within the
boundaries Of the United States proper
there are more than S6,OO0,0OO Of peo-
pie there is room for millions and mil
lions more. There will be hundreds
and thousands more cities pulsating
with business come into existence.
Reader, is not your home town one
that may become q great city II you
only do your part to assist it toward
greatness?
