Gunnison Shows Unusual Growth
That Gunnison as city is respon-
sive to the growth Of the college, the
development Of the mining industry
and the substantial agricultural re-
sources growing around it, is evident
from the fact that 26 new houses and
business blocks have been erected or
started during 1921, an unusually fine
record for q season of rather slow
business. Many other new buildings
are already planned for this coming
year.
In the business index of America,
published recently by the United States
Chamber of Commerce, the Western
Slope Of Colorado was rated as lead
ing the nation in good condition of
trade. The inevitable depression which
affected the whole world after the war
was finished, has touched US very
lightly and the outlook is excellent
for return in the immediate future to
the full swing of business activity.
