1t Pays to BE a Booster
of Detroit's Prosperity

1t may have been the late J. p
Morgan, it may have been someone else,
2 who said that in specializing on the
future of America, there was only one
side of the market to play-the bull side
A similar remark might be made
about Detroit at the present moment.
There are few cities in the world. per-
haps none with such distinctive street
plan as Detroit's, which, revisited after
an absence of 80 years, are found
changed to such degree that former
resident can't find his way about the
business section.
Yet that is what happened to a Vet
eran of Foreign Wars. few days ago,
who mistook Michigan-ave. for Wood
ward-ave., and had to learn his town all
over again.

There is no physical barrier to the
city's greatness.
Neither hills nor swamps, rivers nor
lakes, prevent the city from spreading
north, east, west.
There is no financial bar.
The city is not handicapped By an
enormous interest-bearing debt, and
while taxes are high, it is growth itself
that has made them so-the sudden
realization Of great needs.
Railroads are numerous; labor condi-
tons are good; markets of raw materials
are near
There seems to be no reason in tie
world why Detroit should bs|outstripped
in prosperity by any competitor
That is why Detroit is being rebuilt
by optimistic citizens.
Great Office buildings are still being
raised.
Great factories are still being planned
and erected.
A multitude of shops are being con-
structed and opened
Woodward-ave., which Is years ago
seemed to be thoroughfare Of archi-
tectural permanence, has been com
pletely metamorphosed, and is still in
transition, even in those sections which
might be reckohed most stable.
Other business streets are in a similar
situation.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1915-08-21

1t is characteristic Of the peSsimist
and the man who thinks Iazily to look
about and say: Eyes, Detroit has grown
fast. but 1t has just about reached its
limit"
There are plenty of people who said
that in 1900, and they are just as poor
today as they were then, while thousands
who had faith in the city's future, and
were willing to back that faith with a
little hard work, have made fortunes.
And there were still others who
worked not at all, but merely held on
to the land they owned, and let the COM
munity do the rest
There is no more reason for Detroit
to stop growing in 1915 than there was
in 1900.
There is less.
