quiet one. quiet like the man who started it.,
and it was spread over a number Of years.
Very soon after coming to Alma a college
was started by him, a normal school in truth.
which later became the Alma college of to-
day; a hotel was constructed and at that
time it was the finest hotel that any small
town in Michigan could boast. 1t was fol-
lowed by sanitarium OF generous proper
tons which was complete IN every detail,
and along about the same time large busi
ness block came into being as the result OF
his labors
Alma for some years lived with and based
her proud hopes for the future upon the late
benefactor of this city, and her hopes began
to be realized when he started sugar fac
tory, the present Alma plant Of the Michigan
Sugar company, and demonstrated at the
same time that sugar beets could be success
fully grown in Michigan In this respect he
did much for the state of his adoption, as
Michigan is now one of the great beet sugar
producing states of the Union. He started
a produce company which has grown rapid
y, and today is the Alma plant of Swift &
company, which does an annual business that
runs into the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. To this was added the Alma Manufact-
uring company. which made at one time the
well-known McVicker gasoline engine and
which finally gave way to the truck company.
Aged and infrm during the past two OF
three years of his life, he saw a few of his
monuments of manufacturing and health
giving, start to crumbe.
His philanthropy, in one respect, saved one
Of these monuments and made it still
greates monument to the benefactor of Alma.
Just few months before his death he gave
TO the Masons of Michigan the Alma Santa
rum to be used by them as the Michigan
state Masonic home.
The monument of industry made by him,
the plant Of the old Alma Manufacturing
company, withered, almost died, then bios
somed forth into the greatest truck factory
that the world contains, the plant of the Re-

public Motor Truck Company Incorporated.
With the death OF her late benefactor Al
ma stopped. She could not accustom her
self to travelling alone, it seemed. Her life
blood seemingly had been sapped and Alma
stopped IN fact declined during the two or
three years that preceded his death and for
two years following.
Then came the awakening. The 1910 cen
sus indicated that Alma had only 2757 peo-
pie within her corporated limits Today
1900 probably is a mild estimate, with the
greater portion of this increase having come
within the past four years, when Alma has
been forging to the front making for her
self the name. "'rhe New Wonder City of
Michigan.
Without question the growth Of Alma has
been due almost entirely. to the phenomenal
growth which has been enjoyed by her great
est industry, the Republic Motor Truck Com
pany Incorporated, the home of Republic
trucks which in five short years has grown

physical perfection as may be possible, that
better manhood and womanhood may be had
as portion OF their education.
Far more important than this, however,
it is equipped with commercial department
for which a need had been felt for years prior
to its establishment, and students in the high
school are now able to get thorough bus
mess education if they so desire and apply
their time and talents in the right directions.
Bookkeeping and typewiiting are the prn-
cipal course taught in this department.
\ domestic science course is also offered
in the new high school, this being to the girls
what the manual training department of the

siye truck factory, with nearly two thousand
men on It's pay roll. In July, 1913, this com
pany was organized with Only few thous-
and dollars capital, and employing about
thirty-iive men. A change wrought so sud
denly that is would seem that Aladdin had
rubbed his magic lamp.
Libby. Mcneil & libby
Another industry Of which Alma takes
pride is the Michigan branch Of Libby. Me
Neil & Libby. which was established here
four years ago. This plant has enjoyed
fine business and last year doubled its capac-
ity. and now has six large buildings and a
complete power house. It employs over two

c4lma'S Public Schools
Are Noteworthy
Public School System Ranks High Among


~ NE of the things of which Alma can be
most proud is her system of public
schools, which is educating the citys
young to take their place in Iife's battles
with its pitfalls, mudholes, and mires, into
which sink the unfortunates, unable to hold
up their heads in the mad race for success
in life.
AS has been the case with all other we'll
known institutions of note the lima public
schools had their beginning in small way,
and gradually grew with the city, to assume
the important place that they now hold in
the life Of the city.

was burned. 1t was used for all twelve
grades for years. but soon after 1905, it be-
came necessary to build the ward school on

schools continued and in 1911, it was found
that the high school had outgrown its quar-
