Show COMING TO OGDEN FROM THREE STATES. A retired business msm from west of Carlin, Nevada, has purchased pur-chased a bouse and lot in Ogden for $3,000.. He finds that he can build two more houses on the ground he has acquired and, with the opening of spring, will let the contracts. He has becomo a "booster" for Ogden he is pleased with his Investment. A cattle owner from central Wyoming was induced to stop over between trains and now he is a permanent resident, having invested in-vested $20,000 and made plans to expend as much more.. He is a most desirable citizen. A farmer, who has grown wealthy by land deals in Idaho, has bought an orchard on the outskirts of the city. Ogden is to be his future home. There are, we venture to say, 1500 former residents of Wyoming, Idaho and Nevada in Ogden, and there ?re 20,000 persons in those three states who might be induced to reside bjre. There should be a greater effort made to reach those people in the neighboring states and present to them the r.dvantages of this city. Ogden has this to commend it climate, pure water, good schools, railroad facilties; for those who love nature in its rugged grandeur, Ogden has in full view cliffs, peaks, canyons; looking east are the mountains; westward 13 the world-fomsd like; Ogden itself is in the center of a wonderfully fertile valley dotted with orchards. There is nothing that the heart of the normal man or woman craves for thr.t Ogden cannot give. All the great religious bodies are stroigly'represented. Houses of amusement command the best attractions. There are delightful drives and health-restoring springs. Above all, Ogden is a community of good people, generous to a fault, possessing much of that western spirit which fraternally welcomes wel-comes a stranger and holds in harmony and accord friends and neighbors. There is not quite enough "boost" in Ogden, but even that has its compensating benefits, as it makes Ogden the most inviting field for investment and the absence of a boom inflation cf values should prove most inviting to the prospective investors from Idaho, Nevada or Wyoming. 1 |
