PRICE TWO CENTS • — -T • The Greatest Retail Center of Southern Michigan :••• >; Xs-t M 16 T ' ^ A U A M A t i o ^ U ^ ' - iii iiii M M l P ? " rV-^ H i 8 ^ . i w i ; : 1 fti:;:-••» • ii x#; wv — iV •••• •••• , ' W ^ iiii \> M zmrtsn Co-operation has been the shibboleth of success In every under-# taking ventured by man • since the beginning of things. History fails to record a military victory of consequence or an achievement of state that has been accomplished despite the dissemination of the nation's subjects. Society is founded upon the basic principle of unity. Chaos and disorder reign when the cementing bond of society is served by individual discords. The lexicon of man. contains the word "selfishness" and therefore the note corresponding to the term must be found in the human make-up. On that account sages have denied the possibility of a perfect society in the material order. Successful community building requires the concerted effort of society to override the human weakness and weld the labors of the whole towards the obtaining of that which makes for the common good. In that is * co-operation—the first and primal rudiment to learn in the course of "empire" making. From its birth as a white man's village under the siring of Titus Bronson, who erected the first log cabin back in 1842, In its adloscence as a town In ante-bellum days, during that period preceding the donning of the municipal toga, and finally after Its graduation Into the classified cities of the west, -Kalamazoo has been Impressed with the importance of mastering this lesson In communal construction. During the lone period which witnessed the cycle of changes In her growth, the dty has experienced reverses and hardships and In fact, ran the gamut of dvic emotions, which is the lot of all municipalities in the making. Always was there indomitable publie-spirited men to ride at the emergendes and awake in the breasts of their fellow townsmen the need of that co-operative bond among all to beat back ill fortunes and to go ahead. And advance it did. There may have been lulls in the wind of progress, dissensions might have at one time or another disrupted the civic concord, private and selfish interests may have brooked for a moment the progress of the city, and idealists and champions of chimerical cities may have seen their castles fall like Nineveh and Tyre, but the prosperity march of the city has been the steady, unfaltering charge of Hannibal's infantry, which knew no halt but for rest. During the last five years Kalamazoo has taken her place naturally and graciously as the fourth city of the state, and as the metropolis of southwestern Michigan. The positions may be called both her geographical right and her moral prerogative. community has merited the unfiinching zeal and toil of Its citizenry, who have been led by high-minded dynamic men of great moral principle and strong determination. Co-operation was the keynote of the advancement which gave to Kalamazoo her moral title to the rank in which it has been placed. The last the destined to bring the realization of through their aspirations, the making of Her geographical position has and Chicago, placing the city on made the city a formidable rival of Grand Rapids as the retail center of western Michigan, besides the place It already holds in the southern section of the state. From every direction*—north, south, east and west—the city is accessible by at least one railroad, steam or eleotrio line. Located half way between Chicago and Detroit on the main line of the Michigan Central, the retailers have open to them a potential field fifty miles in both directions. The north and south, connected by a network of railroads and interurban lines with the city, offers as many possibilities. The retailers fully appreciate the advantages that the position affords and have effected an organization in a co-operative movement to open up more extensive trading districts to draw from. They have not only Inhaled the spirit of co- the city but have themselves created a great part of it, as Is manifested by the role they have taken in- the events of Prosperity week. In fact, of co-operation they have made a ritual which Is ultimately the city the retail center of central Michigan. The retail establishments in the city are thoroughly modern and bespeak the thrift and progressiveness of the men behind the concerns. The styles and innovations are shown here simultaneously with their appearance in Detroit a competitive level with any other municipality in the west. The salesmen and saleswomen are kept thoroughly educated in their profession by solicitous employers, who have themselves taken similar lessons in the course of efficiency and keeping efficient Each fall and spring the various concerns detail their buyers to the eastern markets, where the choicest and newest articles and commodities are' selected for the \ consumers of southern Michigan. It would be fruitless to attempt to trace the growth or describe the work of the retail business of the city. It would be just as hard a task to faithfully portray what the merchants have done, are doing and Intend to accomplish for tho community at large. They are concerned with the good of the city as vitally as the biggest propertyoperaUon ^rom ^^ atrapaphere of _ owners and as morally-as the mo^t • J-'- / " ? iilpte s - * lliiii: fM Rill wtim m m m ardent clergyman, and they have shown it. ThL-y are of and are for Kalamazoo "ternally." But we have diverted from the subject that was first taken In. hand—that of the city, of its resources and its potentialities. Its position in the heart of the richest agricultural district of the state has already been partly described. Fifty miles of territory in practically every direction is connected with the city by railroads and electric lines, as has been already said. The lines total twelve, making the city the greatest railroad center in the state aside from Detroit. There have been frequent rumors afloat pertaining to the proposed electrification of the Fruit Belt line, which conneots the city with the rich fruit growing country directly west to Lake Michigan. The territory has been a lucrative tributary to Kalamazoo In the past but the opinion has prevailed that with better transportation facilities, a far wider retail trade could be drawn from the district. The mati ter has been proposed on several occasions and Is at present under the advisement of the officials of the Michigan United Traction company, owners of the road. The new Michigan Railway interurban line between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids has opened up a large territory to the north which was formerly closed to the merchants on account of the inadequacy of transportation facilities. The records of the road are , iiii' . business caused In the city by the beginning of operations on the line. The Grand Rapids & Indiana, Lake Shore and Grand Trunk railroads bring the residents of northern Indiana and southern Michigan into the city from the south. About twenty passenger trains are scheduled on these three roads daily. A large amount of express business that/the books of the local offices showed for the last year are a bright indication of the rural business that is being done in the city also. Freight receipts are also heavy for the last year. One- of the most fitting testimonials of a city's progressive spirit is the number of large buildings and the kempt appearance of the streets. Kalamazoo is better equipped in this respect than any city of Its size in the country. Indeed, its metropolitan appearance, its business district, paving, and all the other manifested signs of civic pride have been commented upon by the press of the country. It is not only a healthy omen but signifies growth and communal pride reflecting on the humblest citizen and taxpayer. The city is wonderfully free of the smoke pest, with which so many manufacturing communities are afflicted. This Is largely due to the plan by which the city was laid out and to which posterity has rigidly adhered. All of the industris are located either in the eastern or southern part of the city, and at a considerable dislance mute evidence of the expansionfit from the business district, The route Of the railroads in and out of the city-have largely aided the maintenance of the plan. The merchants and propertyowners in the downtown district have collaborated In "putting on a front," which Is maintained the year round. The shop windows are given as much attention in the way of artistry in display and neatness as the professional decorators of metropolitan department stores shower on their creations at the fall openings. Competition in the display window and the appearance of the buildings is unusually keen and but further proves the thrift of the Kalamazoo merchant. A prominent educator of the east has contributed the statement that Kalamazoo Is one of the leading educational centers of the west. Her place as the foremost instructive community In the state is however undisputed. The city's industries speak for themselves. The city is the papermill cente^ of the world and ranks high in the metal Industry, ^he Kalamazoo Stove works are known and advertised from coast to coast. Sixty per cent of the peppermint of the world is manufactured here. There are an aggregate of 20 industries operating in the city. Water supply from the Kalamazoo river is at hand, factory sites and facilities are naturally provided. Nature has been provident and indulgent to the city. Located in a valley whose fertile land has brought to the community the fame derived from the choicest and most abundant celery In the world, all the beauty and resources of the state seem to have been specially collected and endowed upon the city destined to come into its natural , inheritance as the second city of Michigan. As a site for state and interstate conventions, It is not to be equalled. Not only is it centrally located but the new state armory on Water street and Its hotel facilities make it better fitted to take care of a convention than any of its neighboring cities. The armory has a seating capacity of 3,000 people, and at present is being used for an exhibit hall during the events of Prosperity week. The city has 22 hotels, four of which are rated as high class. The city is equipped with the finest of restaurants in addition to the hotel cafes. * All this has been recorded to further Impress the significance which Kalamazoo has assumed in the state and to indicate In some manner the setting for the exposition which will be held in the city. Prosperity week itself is the manifestation of the spirit and co-operation among the business men, merchants, and Industrial heads of the city. It has been breathed from the city which was built on that co-operative spirit which is the flesh of "empire" making. Like the men who fought, toiled and sweated in the hewing of the first log cabins that were to make the village of Kalamazoo; like the champions of the ideals that were to later carry the village to the rank of a city; like the sturdy citizens of the municipality who saw in the community what it promises to be, and strived for that end with might'and vim", so today, not two months ago, men of the same call* ber who perceived that the city was in need of a stimulant, rolled up their sleeves and started after a panacea for the times. Maybe the co-operative spirit of the community was wavering that caused the peremptory tackling of a proposition that would result in a fair that is to be conducted on a scale hitherto unthought of in the state. At any event these publicspirited men, actuated by that loyalty of city which lifts the heart and burdens the body beyond Imagination, saw their community in need of concentration of its units and decreed Prosperity week. The preparations for the events have been completed with painstaking labor and toll that lasted for two months. The men in charge have put their hours, their minds and hearts into the work. To them the city Is indebted beyond that which couid be expressed by mere W>rds,
