Show WHAT HE THINKS OF fjALT LAKE. "A City With the Greatest Possibilities Before It.'! Quite a number of Pittsburgors are in the city and most of them are investing in realty to a considerable extent. In conversation with one of these gentlemen gentle-men last evening at the Cullen House, a Timbs representative asked what was his opinion of Salt Lake. "I think," said the Pittsburg man, "that this city enjoys tho greatest possible possi-ble advantages of any place in the world. Some years ago a friend, who has since made his pile, wanted me to go to Kansas Kan-sas City with him, but I declined; not wisely perhaps, but I could not see that Kansas City had any great natural advantages, nnd therefore there-fore I thought best not to invest in realty there. Hero, on the contrary, I see a city with every possible advantage, natural and artificial; and I am convinced that every dollar I put into real estate here at this limo is an investment which will return me many fold. Salt Lake has a backing behind it which cannot be excelled, Her agricultural agri-cultural and mineral surroundings are splondid; her situation in the inter-mountain inter-mountain rogion demands attention and even compels recognition; and her climate cli-mate is simply magnificent. Denver on the east is about 700 miles away, and Snn Francisco on the west is distant about 000 miles. Situated almost midway mid-way between tho only two great cities west of the Missouri river Salt Lake cannot avoid greatness even if she would. It is emphatically a city with the greatest great-est possibilities before it." |
