Our Property Very Cheap.


Editor T.-R.:
AS far as my observation goes, Mar
shalltown property is cheap as COM
pared with other towns in Iowa of like
pretensions. Until our transportation
facilities are increased 1 can see no
marked industrial Improvement for
Marshalltown, as our jobbing trade is
confined to the territory of our rail-
roads. The spirit Of Marshalltown men
is ultra conservative as compared with
Waterloo, Fort Dodge, Mason City, etc.

Editor T.-R: Replying to your favor
regarding the future prosperity OF
Marshalltown, / ibelieve onp&of the best
helps in the right directi.. Guild be
for every citizen of this TO boost
for and patronize Marshal Jwn insti-
buttons. Particularly is this true Of our
market food products. Let us ask for
Britain meats, Marshall Vinegar COM
pany's pickles, and Western Grocer
Company mills products. Let our
travelling men, whom we must recog-
nize as our best advertisers, when they
make towns in our territory, ask for
these eatables at the hotels at which
they stop.
If we are thoroughly loyal at home
to our home institutions it will en-
courage them, help them to grow and
the outside world will be bound to
take more notice of them. E. r. LAY
Property Deals Talked Everywhere.
Editor T.-R: Your communication
received, and 1t certainly is worthy Of
a response and from daily observations
one could not help but observe the
spirit of growth and improvement
which seems to manifest itself on
every hand. The very air seems i'm
pregnated with buying, selling, expan-
sion and growth. (This was written
two weeks before undersigned bought
the Fry block-Ed.)
At the social gatherings in the city
in the evenings, at the clubs, in the
stores and on the streets, all topics
seem to give way to sales, options and
deals which are daily taking place.
Our own road men report to us that
this talk is general all over the coun-
try On all the trains and in the hotels
Marshalltown man is sought out,
questioned and quizzed if conditions are
as boomy as talked over the coun-
try
From our own personal observations
would say that we have used the wrong
word above when he say talk" as
sales actually made in the business dis
trict and building permits granted
represent in round figures S150,o00 to
100000 for blocks and improvements

AS for myself, I never saw the pros
poets better or brighter for a large
and healthy growth to our city, not
even excepting the boom years Of 'S2
and 'S3. and I see nothing in the way
why we should not be city OF thirty

Confidence Reian..

Editor T.-R: The prosperity of Mar
shalltown is self evident. The conf
dence of Marshalltown people in her
present and future is apparent on
every side. To me, this confidence
seems our greatest asset. Confidence
begets confidence people cannot come
to our city without feeling it. They
become interested, they investigate,
they invest their money here; in fact,
it is only thru the stranger that some
Of us are brought to a realization of
what a really good city we have in
which to live and do business. In the
past few months we have had many
applications from married men, wish
ing to come here from other cities to
make this their permanent home.
uf the same spirit of cooperation
and confidence, which has existed for
several years past among our people,
is maintained, I am sure we have no
cause to worry for the future of Mar
shalltown. r. w. MCREERY.

If all of the excellent suggestions
made by loyal citizens for the better
1nent of their town could come before
some such body as an active CONNER
or the like, nothing could keep Mar
shalitown from having the boom for
which she is now ready. The T.-E. to-
day presents suggestions from two
manufacturers, one merchant and one
jobber or broker. They all breathe
confidence in the growth of the town
and one has invested in a brick block
on Main street since writing his letter,
or at least thinks he has so invested.
Mr.. McCreery, of the Western Grocer
Company Mills, busy rehabilitating the
buildings of the old glucose works,
SAYS that confidence is abroad in Mar
shalltown and that it is catching.
Mr.. Lay, the merchant, recognizing
the well known principle that cities
after reaching certain size can grow
by reason of the business which one
townsman does with another, wants to
see every Marshalltown man buy
goods manufactured in Marshalltown
and to boost for Marshalltown goods
when away from home.
Mr.. Hull, of H. Willard, Sons & Co.,
is as wild in his enthusiasm over the
outlook in Marshalltown as he is when
the blue bills are flying. He Is sure he
eever saw so many birds in the air at
any one time, not excepting the boom
years of so and 's3,
Mr.. Click, of Britain & Co., looks
upon Marshalltown property as being
very cheap at prevailing prices but he
Is afraid our business men and in
vestors are more timid than the men
who make other towns.
Mr. Egerrnayer, county attorney,
comes forward with a political platform
which ought to get votes. He wants the
paving assessment laws of Iowa
changed so as to charge 40 per cent
Of the cost to the public and then he
wants another law changed so as to
give Marshalltown the commission
form of government by a salaried
hoard Of control, as Des Moines, and
Cedar Rapids and Galveston now have.
