The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-08-13
Pennington an Ideal School
and College Town
Home Seekers will Consider Facilities and Opportunities

Pennington is a city of some three
thousand people, located about 60
miles south of st. Louis in the foot
hills of the Ozarks. 1t is the County
Seat and Athens of st. Francois coun-
ty. Street car and railroad connec-
tions with the world at large are ideal.
The city is free of saloons and the
Christian influence is above the gem
eral average. All the principal de-
nominations are well and substantial
ly represented. The public High
School is among the most modern and
finest in the state. Our Commercial
and Academic Colleges are recogniz-
ed as progressive institutions, and the
cost of living is below the average,
We are not eXagerating when we say
that Pennington is one of the very
best school and college towns in the
state of Missouri. You may sip the
pure, bubbling, sparkling water from
the everlasting fountains that gush
forth from the mountain sides of the
Ozarks. Epidemics of contag.on are
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-08-13

unknown, and the atmosphere Is prac-
tically free from miasma and malar-
ial affections.
The volume of business transacted
here in the mercantile, manufacturing
and transportation fields far surpass-
es that of many towns having larg-
err population. Dominating the finan-
cial interests of the city and vicinage,
and serving and facilitating the peo-
pie from an exchange and safety de-
post point of view, are three strong
banks with deposits of over 100000.
The percentage of encountered bus
mess and residence property is below
the average of most towns of the
same size, while the tax rate is not
excessive when you stop and consider
that the city maintains splendid and
up-to-date lighting and water sys-
TENS, fire department, fine schools
and nice streets.
Persons in choosing a good town in
which to live will do well to consider
Pennington before arriving at def
mite conclusion.
