^ FARMERS, MECHANICS and MANUFACTURERS of 
tlie Nortli and East should come to Missouri, because you 
can now do better for yourselves, families, society generally, 
and for posterity, than yon can liy staying wliere you are. 
By coming you can get better farms and liomes, do more 
business and make more money, easier and quicker tliaii to 
remain wliere competition is strong and sharp, and profits 
small. As otliers liave done you can do, for tliecliauces now 
are as good as ever, and in many respects better. 
Missouri is rich in Agricultural resources, provisions are 
abundant. Coal, Iron, Lead, Copper, YY’ool, Cotton, Hemp, 
Flax, and other raw materials to be wrouglit are at liand 111 
a healtliy climate giving vigor to labor, and in a central lo¬ 
cation witli clieap and direct access to all the markets. 
These facts make Missouri a produeiug and manufacturing 
region; and wlien tlie surplus artisan population of old and 
less favored districts are wise eiiougli to come liere in suffi¬ 
cient numbers, tlien tliere will be an adequate supply of la¬ 
bor for tlie w.aiits and facilities of this State, and make It a 
consuming country also. Tims the great department of liu- 
man Industry can and surely will combine to give tlie full 
prosperity tliis noble State generously invites and so richly 
deserves.
