The year 1865 saw Montgomery an utterly exhausted little town of some sixthousand people, with three broken-down railroads.
The year 1888 finds her a city of 30,000 people, with six well-equippedrailroads. Her sole resource was trade with the cotton planters of thesurrounding country, and such enterprise as men might exhibit who startedlife over without a dollar. This difference between 1865 and 1888 isstated to show the discerning reader that there is a source of wealthhere, and that the people have utilized it as fast as they couldaccumulate capital to develop it.
Unaided by the influx of capital and enterprise from the East and fromEurope, that has so rapidly built other sections of the country, sheaccomplished so much. What could be done with that aid need not be writtento be appreciated. Both enterprise and capital are turning to the Southnow, and both have found Alabama their best field of operation. It is thepurpose of this little pamphlet to show that Montgomery is the place ofplaces for the enterprise that seeks a field for development, for thecapital that seeks investment, and for the citizen of a more northernlatitude who desires a change of residence to a prosperous city in amore genial clime.
