Synopsis
Excerpt from Chicago: Past, Present, Future
No doubt but ye are the people, And wisdom shall die with you.
Men of that stripe have their use, for it takes all sorts to make up a world; and Chicago is sufficiently cosmopolitan to have bright specimens of even such.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that real estate in the growing city of Chicago, Illinois is the best financial investment and provides the reasoning for this claim. Written in 1868, the author writes from the perspective of someone involved in the city's development. Many believed that other cities like Cincinnati or St. Louis were better poised for growth because of their established trade and industry as well as access to major rivers. However, the author argues that Chicago's access to the Great Lakes and its central location on the continent make it the prime location for future expansion and the most attractive option for those seeking financial opportunity in real estate. The author also argues that Chicago has a strong basis for prosperity that began with the ways in which its art followed nature. While the city doesn't have to pay for the construction of railways like its rivals and is not heavily taxed, it has access to coal, iron, and other minerals, which help to fuel its urban growth. This publication is also a valuable look back at arguments made about the future of the Midwest more than 150 years ago. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330611227_0
