RURAL GROWTH
is LARGE
Suburban District Draws
Thrifty Citizens
by W. A. IRWIN
President Puget Mil Go.

Around all great American citlsH
vast suburban areas have been buAi
up. This % especially true % New
York. Philadelphia, Chicago and San
Francisco. These well developed sub.
urban areas are sure signs nf largo
metropolitan centerH.
III anyone questions tho rapid
growth and consistent development
OF seaitle'H outlying suburbs. a few
trips into this near h!nteriand viii
quickly convince tho observer that
this city has become one OF Amer
iea'- metropolitan ccnters surrounded
by a prosperous suburban develop
msnt.
These trips Of inspection should
not DO confined TO tho main paved
highways. but should include the
hundreds OF side trips that can be
made thru highly developed dairy.
poultry and fruit districts. Real sur
prisss are in store for anyone who
has not made such tour. sca;ile'H
suburban areas tn every direction
have mora than kept pace with the
growth and development OF the me.
tropoll,hn area.
The desire OF tho thrifty citizen TO
supplement- his income by the deyel.
opment and use OF larger areas Of
land than tho city LOT affords. TO say
nothing OF the comfort and safety Of
his children. away from the busy
city streets. has caused a stcady
stream Of settlers 10 make their
homes on tho outskirts Of Seattle.
Facilities for transportation between
these suburban districts and the
business section OF tho city have
been aided by the wide use OF tho
automobile. This mode OF transport
alton makes It possible for the city
worker In most instances 20 reach
his suburban homo IN less time than
on street cars TO some districts with
in the city limits.
Another factor that has helped the
suburbanite is the great mileage OF
good roads in this part Of the state.
