In two years Fort Worth grew from 4

In 1880 when the first packing plant
was located in Omaha it was small city
Of 5000. Ten years later there was a
beautiful city OF so, 900.
Not one Of these cities could have stop
ped their growth had they been willing to
do So They were directly in the path of
commercial progress.
Shawnee is the gateway to the south
west and will grow as no other city in this
part of the country has grown because she
is in the natural path of immigration which
is settling more rapidly than ever a state
was settled before.
We will have two railroads from the

Other Industries

Many other industries are considering
locating here, because of the many natural
advantages to be offered.
Shawnee has never had a real estate
boom. but owing to the locating of the
packing plant and other institutions here
over 81. 600, 10000 worth of property has
changed hands within the last sixty days,
and real estate all over the city has in
creased IN value at least 3 per cent.
A packing plant is a big thing for
town. In 1872 when the first packing
plant located in Kansas City it was about
the same size that Shawnee now is. The
last census shows it to be city of 900, 900.
