NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC


TT is with pleasure that we place before the public the 1925 directory of Champaign and Urbana, compiled for us and set in type, printed and bound complete in our own shop here in Champaign. We trust that it will meet your approval.


Not only is the Directory a very necessary and indispen- sable work for local usage, but it is a valuable means of extending throughout the country information concerning Champaign and Urbana, their advantages, resources and prospects, and it is a matter of more than ordinary import- ance to every individual that he be properly represented in this standard work of reference.


To gather the data and compile a volume of this char- acter is no easy task. It requires much time, a well defined system, and incurs no little expense. Few people have any idea of the work it means and the tenacity it takes to pub- lish a reliable directory.


In preparing this book the Publishers have spared neither time nor expense, and if errors occur or a single name is omitted which should appear in the work, it is generally the fault of the public and not the publishers, as every house is visited and it is not the publisher's or can- vasser's fault if some one fails to give all the information or gives it incorrectly. The intention of the publishers is always for improvement, and you can always count on get- ting as accurate a Directory as circumstances will permit.


We wish to thank our patrons who have made this book possible, and the people of both cities for their courtesy in giving information.

FLANIGAN-PEARSON CO'S. CHAMPAIGN-URBANA DIRECTORY


INTRODUCTORY OF CHAMPAIGN AND URBANA


There is only one Champaign ! At least the United States Postal Directory lists only one city of that name. Champaign is located 126 miles south of Chicago, 118 miles west of Indianapolis, 94 miles east of Peoria, and 187 miles northeast of St. Louis.


Her population, according to the 1920 census, is 16.256. The 1924 school census gives a popniation of a little over 21,000.


The population of Champaign is Ameri- can. By that is meant that it is composed of that substantial class of citizens com- moniy called the "middle class." It does not boast of the ultra rich nor of the des- perately poor. Of unnaturalized citizens there are very few,-7.6 per cent according to 1920 census figures. The people as a whole are well educated, thanks to the edu- cational system of the city and the proxim- ity of the University of Illinois.


Every day thirty-two steam passenger trains and twenty interurban trains enter and leave Champaign. These in addition to frequent freight trains.


Transportation is furnished by the Chi- cago-New Orleans line of the Illinois Cen- tral, the Peoria-Indianapolis line of the Big Four, and a branch of the Wabash, which connects with the main line at Sid- ney, about twenty miles away.


"A train your way every hour of the day" is provided by the Illinois Traction System, which connects Champaign with Danville, Decatur, Springfield, Bloomington, Peoria, and St. Louis. A short branch of the Illinois Central connects Champaign with the St. Louis-Chicago line at Clinton.


Agriculturaily, Champaign County excels. The 1920 census reports it as the third richest agricultural county in the United States.


The principal crops are the small grains, mainly corn, oats, wheat, and soybeans. While the raising of livestock is at present overshadowed by grain farming, this type of agriculture is gradually being developed, and even now some of the finest livestock in the state is produced in this county.


Commercially, Champaign ranks high. It has been said by people from other cities that our business district would do credit to a city twice our size. One visitor from a very large city was kind enough to say, recently, that the best business street of his city had nothing better than Champaign could offer.


Educationally, no city offers better ad- vantages than Champaign. The schools of the city consist of nine grade schools and a four-year high school. In addition to these is the great University of Illinois, by many considered one of the greatest edu- cational institutions of the United States.


Champaign and Urbana adjoin, forming a community with a population of about thir- ty-five thousand people. This community is


the home of the University of Illinois-the peak of the educational system of the State.


The campus of the University comprises an area of twelve hundred acres, on which are located the ninety-odd buildings of the l'niversity. During the year 1923-24, 10,150 students were in attendance, and the num- ber increases every year. The faculty con- sists of more than twelve hundred men and women, all of whom make their homes in the Sister Cities. In addition to the de- partments located here the University has three departments in Chicago-Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy with an annual registration of 900.


Industrially, the city of Champaign has room to grow, and the location of high- class industrial enterprises is always en- couraged.


The city is essentially residential. As has already been said, the principal in- dustry is agriculture, and retail business flourishes. But in addition there are many families who move to the city on account of its educational advantages, and, being pleased with the character of the city, they become permanent residents.

basements, the Boneyard Branch, Saline Drainage Ditch and Salt Fork Creek. Office of the District is the Pumping Station at the Treatment Plant. Public inspection al- ways welcomed.


This Sanitary District is example of suc- cessful cooperation between the two munici- palities. The two cities are in fact one community and should be so considered by all residents.


URBANA


When Champaign County was formed, in 1833, by detaching a portion of Ver- million County and erecting it into a sepa- rate county, forty-three acres of land lying in the northeast corner of Section Seven- teen and the southwest corner of Section Eight, were donated by the proprietors of the county commissioners court for the purpose of locating the court house and county seat thereon. The gift was ac- cepted by the court, and as required by the act creating the new county, the site was called Urbana.


The new town thrived. It grew in popu- lation by leaps and bounds, and a brisk commercial life soon developed. In the days following its creation, and before the war of the Rebellion, Urbana became quite a center for politicians and lawyers. Lin- coln practiced before the bar of its courts frequently, and was in court in Urbana when he received information that his name had been presented to the conven- tion of 1856 as a candidate for president. It was at the court house in Urbana that he made his second speech in opposition to Senator Douglas and the Nebraska bill.


Above all other things, Urbana is an educational community. Commencing with the primary school and continuing through the more advanced work of the graduate school of the University, all phases of modern educational methods may be found in Urbana. The public school sys- tem embraces six commodious buildings, equipped with the most modern devices for giving both the mind and body of the child all the advantages possible, and a high school building, the superior of which cannot be found in any city, and which is equaled only by schools in cities many times the size of Urbana.


While the University Campus may be considered one large park, Urbana has a park system which, though young in years, is of unusual attractiveness. The principal park of the system is Crystal Lake Park, situated a few blocks north of the main business section of the city. It comprises some seventy-odd acres of oaks and shrubs, and grass and water, made easily accessible by the beautiful drives and walks that wind about it. The clear waters of the lake, fed by numbers of springs, afford splendid boating in the summer and skating in winter, while its pavilion, shelterhouse, and the modern playground for children attract visitors from many miles about. Leal Park and Carle Park, although not as large as Crystal Lake Park, are very attractive.


To visit Urbana is to be convinced that it is an ideal place in which to live and in


which to bring up a family. With its miles of paved streets, with overhanging shade trees, beautiful lawns superbly gar- dened, tasteful and homelike residences, it comes very near to being ideal. The beau- tiful Samuel T. Busey library, a magnifi- cent building of Bedford limestone, in pure classic design, has thousands of volumes in its stacks and reference rooms. It houses the splendid Cunningham historical li- brary, and in its reading rooms all the best current magazines. In addition, the citizens of Urbana have access to the vast number of books and periodicals belonging to the University library. This is one of the largest and most complete libraries in the country, and the advantage of such a fund of reference is inestimable.


Urbana is a division point on the Peoria and Eastern Division of the Big Four, giving service to the east and west, and through the branch line running to Sidney, connects with the main line of the Wabash between St. Louis and the East. Over the Illinois Traction System, Urbana is given local accommodations east and west, while to the north, local traffic is cared for by the Kankakee and Urbana Traction Com- pany. Connections are made at Glover by trolley with the Chicago and Eastern Illi- nois Railroad Company for Chicago and St. Louis, and at Champaign with the Illi- nois Central for Chicago and the South. Urbana is 128 miles south from Chicago, 118 miles west from Indianapolis, and 98 miles east from Peoria. All parts of the city are reached by frequent trolley service.


No city has more solid financial institu- tions than the banks of Urbana, their ag- gregate deposits reaching several millions of dollars. Its three Building and Loan Associations are among the strongest in the state, and have been experiencing a steady, healthy growth for many years. Almost every branch of retail trade is represented among Urbana's many stores, which provide for the wants of the con- sumer in a most satisfactory manner. Among the manufacturing enterprises in Urbana, we find these lines represented : electric supplies, paints, castings, de- horners, cigars, knockdown bleachers, har- ness, ice cream, burial vaults, monuments, and others. None of these branches of manufacture are offensive or detract from the city's desirability as a residence town, though giving employment to large num- bers of persons. In Urbana are located the shops of the Peoria and Eastern Divl- sion of the Big Four, adding greatly to the industrial importance of Urbana, and affording the largest single employing agency in the industrial field.
