Description

Excerpt from Charlotte: North Carolina Charlotte. N. C., the county seat of Mecklenburg, is not the largest town in the United States, and it has not reached that-- point where it cannot grow and show improvement in many lines. But there are so many features of excellence and superiority, that to those who are seeking a home, a place of business for an established enterprise, or a place in which to organize a new industrial undertaking, Charlotte offers unusual opportunities. This city is not a place where a man with no means can make an independent fortune without effort, nor is it a place where capital can make such returns as are offered and never realized in sections more widely advertised. Within the past three years, the growth of Charlotte has kept pace with that of other cities of this section of the United States, and at this time the population is about 50,000. This figure is under the average estimate of those who are in a position to know the facts, but it is the intention of this publication to be ultra-conservative rather than to stretch a single point a hairsbreadth. At the taking of the last United States Census, the population was a little less than 35,000, and since that time the growth has been about the same as for several years before. While the city has grown in point of numbers, her development along business lines has been greater, if possible, and within the past five years the commerce of Charlotte has shown a greater increase than any city in the Southeast.
