tli<^ Nufiii aii<l Ka'^t slmuld roiruM n Missouri, because you 
can now i|ii in-'iter [or yourselves, laniili«',s society generally, 
and for posterity, than you can by staying where you are. 
By coming you can get better farms and homes, do more 
business and make more money, easier and quicker than to 
remain wliere competition is strong and sharp, and profits 
small. As otliers have done you can do, for the chances now 
are as good as ever, and in many ri:spects better. 
Missouri is rich in Agricultural resources, provisions are 
abundant. Coal, Iron, Lead. Copper. Wool, Cotton. Hemp, 
Flax, and other raw materials to he wrought are at hand in 
a healthy climate giving vigor to labor, and in a central lo- 
cation witli cheap and diiect access lu all the markets. 
These fact« make Missouri a producing and manufacturing 
region; and when tlie surplus artisan population of old and 
less favored districts are wise enough to come here in sufli- 
cient numbers, then there will be an adequate sujiplv of la- 
bor for the wants and facilities of this Slate, and make it a 
consuming country also. Thus the great department uf hu- 
man industrv can aud surely will combine to give the fnll 
prosperity this noble State generously invites and so richly 
deserves.
