Industrial Department.

Tho Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway Company’s 6,150 miles of road traverses a vast territory, rloh in all tho resources that insure industrial success. | The Industrial Department is con--1 versunt with the Iron, Coal, Lumber arid Tanbark, the Water Power (both river and artesian) for factory and electrio I power purposes, the markets, tho transportation and financial facilities, and other interests on the lino pertaining to industrial development, and disseminates information concerning same. A number of new factories have been ; induced to locate—largely through tho instrumentality of this Company—-at enterprising towns on its lines. | As the interest of the Company is to , secure the location of industries at places where the surroundings will insure their permanent success, the information furnished a particular industry is pertinent and reliable. In the Eastern States and In other parts of tho world factories are so congested and distant from the actual market as to result in iieree and destructive competition. That the West is taking a place as one of the great manufacturing territories of the world is forcibly impressing itself upon discerning and enterprising manufacturers. Steps should bo taken by such while the field Is as yet not fully covered, and while inducements are still being offered, to locate in the Wost. Individuals or companies wishing to embark capital in Western Industry can ; find a profitable field. For particulars relative to industrial advantages on the line, address Luis Jackson, Industrial Commissioner, C., M. & St, P. Ry,, 160 Adams street, Chicago, 111.
