CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND & PACIFIC R'Y


By reason of its central position, close relation to principal lines East of Chicago and continuous lines at terminal points West, Northwest and Southwest-is the only true middle-link in that transcontinental system which invites and facil- itates travel and traffic in either direction between the Atlantic and Pacific.


The Rock Island main line and branches include Chicago, Joliet, Ottawa, La Salle, Peoria, Geneseo, Moline and Rock Island, in Illinois; Davenport, Musca- tine, Washington, Fairfield, Ottumwa, Oskaloosa, West Liberty, Iowa City, Des Moines, Indianola, Winterset. Atlantic, Knoxville, Audubon, Harlan, Guthrie Centre and Council Bluffs, in Iowa; Gallatin, Trenton, St. Joseph, Cameron and Kansas City, in Missouri; Leavenworth and Atchison, in Kansas; Albert Lea, Minneapolis and St. Paul, in Minnesota; Watertown in Dakota, and hundreds of intermediate cities, towns and villages.


THE GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE


Guarantees Speed, Comfort and Safety to those who travel over it. Its roadbed is thoroughly ballasted. Its track is of heavy steel. Its bridges are solid structures of stone and iron. Its rolling stock is perfect as human skill can make it. It has all the safety appliances that mechanical genius has invented and experience proved valuable. Its practical operation is conservative and method- ical-its discipline strict and exacting. The luxury of its passenger accommoda- tions is unequaled in the West-unsurpassed in the world.


ALL EXPRESS TRAINS between Chicago and the Missouri River consist of comfortable DAY COACHES, magnificent PULLMAN PALACE PARLOR and SLEEPING CARS, elegant DINING CARS providing excellent meals, and -between Chicago, St. Joseph, Atchison and Kansas City-restful RECLINING CHAIR CARS.


THE FAMOUS ALBERT LEA ROUTE


Is the direct, favorite line between Chicago and Minneapolis and St. Paul. Over this route solid Fast Express Trains run daily to the summer resorts, picturesque localities and hunting and fishing grounds of Iowa and Minnesota. The rich wheat fields and grazing lands of interior Dakota are reached via Watertown. A short desirable route, via Seneca and Kankakee, offers superior inducements to travelers between Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Lafayette and Council Bluffs, St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth, Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Paul and inter- mediate points.


All classes of patrons, especially families, ladies and children, receive from officials and employes of Rock Island trains protection, respectful courtesy and kindly attention.

A GREAT RAILWAY. -THE- CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL


RAILWAY COMPANY


Now Owns and Operates over 5,600 Miles of Thoroughly Equipped Road in


Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Dakota.


Each recurring year its lines are extended in all directions to meet the necessities of the rapidly populating sections of country West, Northwest and South west of Chicago, and to furnish a market for the products of the Greatest Agricultural and Stock Raising Districts of the World.


In Illinois it operates 317 miles of track. In Wisconsin 1,332 miles. In lowa 1,556 miles. In Minnesota 1,122 miles. In Dakota 1,213 miles. In Missouri 142 miles,


And the end is not yet. It has terminals in such large cities as


CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE, LA CROSSE, ST. PAUL, MINNEAPOLIS, FARGO, SIOUX CITY, COUNCIL BLUFFS, OMAHA, KANSAS CITY and ST. JOSEPH, MO.,


And along its lines are hundreds of large and small thriving cities, towns and villages. Manufacturing interests are cultivated, and all branches of trade find encouragement. The Railway Company has a just appreciation of the value of its patrons, and its mag- nificent earnings are the result of the good business tact which characterizes the manage- ment of its affairs. .


The popularity of the line is attested by the fact that notwithstanding the strongest kind of competition of old and new lines, the CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL RAILWAY continues to carry the greater portion of all the business between CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE, ST. PAUL and MINNEAPOLIS. It is the best patronized route to and from all points in WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA, DAKOTA and IOWA, and its KANSAS CITY AND ST. JOSEPH LINE will undoubtedly take equal rank with the older lines leading to and from the southwest.


On all its through lines of travel the CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL RAILWAY runs the most perfectly equipped trains of


Sleeping, Parlor and Dining Cars and Coaches,


The through trains on all its lines are systematically heated by steam. No effort is spared to furnish the best accommodations for the least money, and, in addition, patrons of the road are sure of courteous treatment from its employes.

INTRODUCTORY.


In presenting the public with the thirty-third annual directory of the city of In- dianapolis the publishers take occasion to call attention to the steady progress of the city during the period of their connection with it. There is no better index or criterion of a city's growth than a series of carefully compiled directories, showing not only the actual increase of population from year to year, but the growth of business as well, by the multiplication of business houses and firms, and the introduction of new branches of trade. A comparison of the city directory of 1888 with that of 1856 would show how remarkable this growth has been, and would, doubtless, surprise even those most familiar with the general progress of the city. During that period Indianapolis has grown from a quiet town of about 18,000 population to a metropolitan city of over 100,000. This steady growth indicates good staying qualities, and the possession of the elements of continned prosperity. In 1856 a man would have been considered visionary if he had predicted for Indianapolis a population of 100,000 in thirty years. It would be much safer now to predict 200,000 in the next ten years. The city's past growth goes far to insure its future. Its prospects were never as good as they are to-day, nor its advantages as widely recognized. No other city can point to a more healthy growth, in no other is business on a more solid basis, and none has better prospects for the future. Its location is ad- mirably designed for a great inland city. It is not only central in Indiana, a State of vast resources, but it is central in the Union, almost in the heart of the continent, mid- way between the teeming millions of the east and the rapidly growing population of the great west. From this central location its railway communications extend in all direc- tions, and to all parts of the country, giving it remarkable advantages as a distributing point. These conditions would inevitably insure the future growth of the city ; but with the added advantage of natural gas as a cheap fuel, there can be no doubt that Indian- apolis is destined to become a great manufacturing point, and to hold a prominent place among the leading cities of the country. There is no kind of manufacturing that can not be carried on here to advantage, and present indications point to a great develop- ment of this interest in the near future. The outlook for other branches of business is equally as good. The city's wholesale trade is in the most satisfactory condition it has ever been, and is steadily increasing in extent, volume and value. Twenty-five years ago all this territory was controlled by Cincinnati and Chicago houses, and Indianapolis jobbers, who then operating in a very small way, were compelled to bny their supplies from the dealers in those cities. Now they buy their goods directly from the manufact- urers or importers, in some cases importing directly themselves, and are able to compete successfully with the wholesale dealers of any western city. The city's advantages as a live stock market are becoming generally recognized, and this branch of business seems to have a fine future before it. On the whole, the publishers take great pleasure in con- gratulating the citizens of Indianapolis on its solid and healthy growth in the past, and its bright prospects for the future.
