In our foreword we told you some homcy
truths about the wonderful resources OF St
Francois County, now, as you all are MlSsourlans
and want to be shown, we viii give you few
figures TO substantiate what we SAID last week
about the unlimited resources OF St Francois
County and what are now saying about real
estate being the foundation OF all wealth.
THE PROOF.
The mines Of ST. Francois County produced
eleven millions seven hundred and hty-siX
thousand four hundred and fifty (Sl1,756,45O)
dollars in 1906; stop to think OF it, over eleven
millions (S1iG00, ,OJ OF money produced in one
yea ii this a.atIl~t ."ary OF The noted gold pro
duunz district, Of the world fall away below this
marx, ard i: we were to take the total product
OF this county for the last twenty years there
woud be few mining CAM OF the world that
could compare with it
At the pre- ent time the capacity of the mills
OF the Big Five OF St. Francois County is twenty
one million tour bundled thousand t2l,40O,0G0)
pounds Of o-c per dly--and this with only FIVE
companies in the Eed-what will it be when we
nave 100 communicative number operating in
the Joplin district $50.
The Big Five OF St. Francois County control
forty-three thousand seven hundred and fifty
six tk3756) acres of land in ST. Francois County
about one-si%th Il g. oI its area. The County
contains two hGndTcd and siXtv-two thousand
four hundred j24OO) acrcs-sull some room
for 5eveiopment--hve-s CT the area OF the
County still TO be systematically prospected and
mined.
You who live here can not realize what ii will
mean 10 Bcnnc Terrc when his prnce.y field
OF wealth is developed
Have given you facts to prove that real
estate cuts sc:nc ice in the wealth of natons2
That in S., Francois County it is the foundation,
corner stone and suPcrstructure OF the wealth
OF the district We thin: have and think
we have also shown you that Bonnie Terre, the
Queen City Of the lead belt, IS the social, fnan-
clal and business center OF ST. Francois County
Now in order to maHtlin this prestige and to
remain in the vanguard OF progress Bonnie Terrc
must grow. rl@a; expand, must improve, must
offer inducements and attractions. must offer
reasons why people should live there in prefer
encc to any OF the other towns Of the Lead Belt
1t shall be our mission from now on to
BOOST BONNIE TERKE-to help Bonnie
TerIe to expard-to place Bonnie Terte where
it beongs--to become more prosperous-to be
the trading center it should be today-to make
it a city OF fifty thousand go 000) people We can
and will do all this and more 10 il we have the
cooperation OF the good people of the County.
Now you all know what this means to you it
means independent wealth to all of those who
cooperate with US and get in on the ground
floor, all of those who would buy real estate in
town of ten thousand 100000 inhabitants and
hold on until that town had increased in popu-
lation TO fifty thousand (50000) people would
reap harvest of one thousand 10000 fold and
more All OF the large fortunes o. St. Louis,
Chicago, New York and Philadelphia are
founded on real estate bought when these respec-
tive cities were mere villages without half OF the
substantial prospects of becoming great cities
that Bonnie Terre has today
The first step in our programme is and must
necessarily be to give Bonnie Terre a chance to
expand physically and geographcally-tha is
give it more elbow room-nore ground to build
upon. Before inviting people to come and live
in our Queen City of the Lead Belt must pro-
vide land for them to build upon; we must show
them where they going to live we must pro-
vide attractive surroundings, attractive from
financial social and a business point OF view
we must offer them cheap home sites, good
society, churches schools, amusements, necessi-
ties, comforts, reasonable chance for profitable
and continuous employment. and we boldly pro-
claim I'VE are doing all of these things with the
added chance of making immense profits to all
who come to
