Book Description
Excerpt from The Advantages and Surroundings of Muskegon Mich: The Material Interests of a Progressive City The center of population for the U. S. is now in the great Lake District. Eight states abutting the great lakes, contain nearly half the population of the 44 states comprising the Union. The four states surrounding Lake Michigan have over ten millions of people - nearly one-sixth of the entire Union - although having an average age, as states, of but 63 years. Muskegon is the third city in population on Lake Michigan, the fourth for marine business; her harbor is accessible in the coldest weather, and location the center of the great Fruit Belt. Michigan produces about half of the iron ore of the Union, nearly all the copper, is first in salt and lumber manufacturing, and capitalists are "catching on" to the fact that these advantages are sure to bring furnaces, additional iron, wood and other industries of magnitude, to Muskegon, at no distant day. The publication of this volume is to present in condensed form and convenient shape for preservation, all the material facts of history, advantages and surroundings of Muskegon. Her city and county government, churches and schools, professional, business and social life will be briefly outlined. Statistics illustrating the growth and extent of her commercial and manufacturing interests, carefully compiled from reliable sources, will be found in succeeding pages. A thorough perusal of these facts by manufacturers or those in search of homes in a pleasant and healthful city, with superior educational advantages, will bring a preponderance of evidence in favor of Muskegon. This is not a boom edition in any sense of the word, but officers of the Board of Trade and other leading citizens have felt the need of a publication, in a convenient shape for reference, and for mailing to inquirers, that would give all our material interests, with due reference to the magnitude of our principal concerns, suitable illustrations, and void of the gush and personal laudations usually found in such works. It is not necessary to overdraw Muskegon, as there are few, if any, cities in the Union, more favorably located for manufacturing, that have better libraries or schools, churches or social advantages, more delightful outing resorts or that present a more equable climate the year round. Formerly entitled to the cognomen, "The Lumber Queen of the World," as the timber of the section has been rapidly consumed, the saw and shingle mills have given place to general manufacturing, of which subsequent pages give details of the leading institutions. These will be seen to be numerous, diversified and important for a city of this size; but there is room for hundreds more, and with our superior attractions, the progress in industrial concerns will doubtless increase more than a hundred-fold with each coming decade. Astute manufacturers, throughout the length of the land are seeking central locations for securing raw materials, cities where sufficient ground is available, at low figures for building factories; where workmen can secure cheap rent, or own cottages for homes, and where easy transportation for distributing their productions to the millions is accessible. In all these respects, statistics presented in the following pages will show that Muskegon is unsurpassed.
