GREATEST BUILDING BOOM IN
HISTORY Of CITY THIS YEAR
Estimated That 100000 Will be Expend-
ed in Buildings in Plymouth During
I9Io---Hospital, Church, Garage, Bus
mess Rooms to be Built.

The season OF 1910, will wit
ness the greatest building, and
commercial boom, which the city
of Plymoutth has ever experienc-
ed. Plans for the erection OF
buildings which will easily augu-
ment the sum of 100000 are

adding an important chapter in
the history of the city and Mar
shall county. Local business men
are expecting to do the best bust
ness OF their lives during the com
ing year,-real estate dealers pre-
dict a big rise in the value OF pro-
perty located in this city,-a pro-
ject IS under way for ' construc-
ton of macadarulzed roads on at
least the main tiloroughfare OF
Center township,-good roads
brings the farmer trade,-the
Plymouth Driving Club, which
provides the amusement and
sports for the city, predict the
best base ball team in this end of
the state, and livlier and larger
attended, popular entertainments
throughout the summer. Verify
the city of Plymouth seems on a
boom. A look over the lists, al
ways brings the same conclusion.
Plymouth needs more industries.
The city is in need of a we'll or
ganized Commercial Club, a
league of the business men to
boost the town, and lay plans for
securing more industries. This
need can be readily seen when it
is considered that the extended
building of the business section,
the erection of hospitals. churches
and libraries, which invaluable
accessions as they are, will not
provide what is needed mostly,
namely employ nent for the male
population of the city. Provide
employment for the young man.
Just out of the High School, and
keep the flower of the community
in Plymouth instead OF per
mitting his talents to swell the
might of an already great city
1t is this product which makes
the community,-Plymouth has
more than an abundance of it,
keep it here, and it will direct it
self toward the advancement oil
Plymouth,-that is patriotism.
