Indiana's Central Location.

Indiana enjoys the distinction of being the center of population, and center of agriculture, the center of commerce, the center of modern literature, the center of the great American railway system—having more miles of railroad to the square mile of territory than any other state in the union—of having the best natural gas supply, of increasing more rapidly in manufacturing industries, of owning more property to the man than is owned by any other State, of having a larger percentage of church membership and richer school fund than any other common wealth; also the percentage of scolarship is better than any other State. It has more cattle to the acre, more bushels of wheat, more money in bank, more pianos in parlors and more diplomas in frames than can be located elsewhere from sea to see.
