1 Riri 0 Ti 'RDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1910 bi ee i -- - a a ---- - -------------- Its Many Advantages and Attractions 4 Reasons Why the City of Kingston is Prospering, Why It will Continue to Prosper and Why It Should 1st Attract New People x Kingston is situated more advantageously, perhaps, | than any other city in Canada for manufacturing pur- poses and should appeal especially to American manu- facturers seeking to locate in Canada. At the foot of Lake Ontario and the head of the famous St. Lawrence River, it is but a stone's throw from the American side, while its extremely central location is emphasized by the fact that one can board a train at Kingston any af- sternodén and be in Toronto or Montreal before six o'clock that evening, or in New York, or Chicago, or Boston at 8 o'clock the following morning, ready for business, To the American Capitalist looking for a likaly. Canadian site, this central position of Kingston should appeal fully as strongly as to the Canadian manufacturer. : We have reasonably cheap power here and we have plenty of available factory sites at low prices, while the city itself is prepared to deal generously with new indus- tries in the way of guarantees, bonuses and exemptions, For such industries as desire soft coal, Kingston has peculiar and decided advantages, the easy accessibility of the American ports, such as Oswego, Sodus and Char- lotte on Lake Ontario by steamers from Kingston, being an outstanding feature and reducing materially the cost of transportation. In point of begs transportation facilities, the city is very fortunately situated. 'Not only has it a magnificent water front with lake and river boats in constant service, but it has the three great railroads of the country runn- ing through here--the C.P.R,, the.Grand Trunk and the Canadian/National System. With the completion of the deepening and enlargement of the Welland Canal and the new harbor improvements in Kingston itself, which the Dominion Government isto carry through, the transportation facilities by water will be better than ever, and should aid materially in stim- ulating industrial growth here. - 6 "its line, 'n respect of its educational advantages, the city is well :ntitled to boast. Not only has it many fine private and public schools, a high-class Collegiate Institute, and a Business College; but here are situated Queen's Univer- sity with its arts, science, medical, theological and other departments; the Royal Military College, whose gradu- ates did such wonderful sefvice in the great war; and the Regiopolis College which is doing effective service in | The climate of the city is healthful and health-giving. Che Winter season is much as in other Canadian cities, but in the summer, Kingston has a marked advantage over other cities in that it is always cool and pleasant here, thanks to the refreshing breezes from the lake. "n point of natural beauty the city cannot be surpassed, ince it is built upon the shores of the lake and the mouth of the noble St. Lawrence, whose famed 1000 Islands are the Mecca for so many tourists. + For those. who delight in outdoor sports, there is no bet- ter place to bé found in Canada than Kingston and the immediate vicinity. - Bass fishing, Salmon fishing and maskilonge fishing can be had throughout the season, both in Lake Ontario and in the innumerable lakes im- mediately back of Kingston in Frontenac Countv of which Kingston is a part; big game--deer and bes~ .nd - small game such as duck and partridge may br .unted ° in and about these back districts; the new go' inks of the Cataraqui Golf and Country Club adjo' .g Lake Ontario Park, should satisfy even the most .astidious golf devotee; while the opportunities for yachting and boating of all kinds are unequalled. With the completion of the National Highway between Toronto and Montreal, Kingston will be on the direct line and, situated as it is midway between Toronto and Mon- treal, it will be the Half Way House, so to speak, and a principal stopping point. The superb New York State roads can he reached in little more than an hour's travel from hereby boat to Cape Vincent, N.Y. or by road to Gananoque and ferry to Clayton, N.Y., consuming about . the same time. THESE, THEN, ARE A FEW OF THE MANY ADVAN TAGES WHICH KINGSTON POSSESSES i \ > \ i \ An ideal location; splendid educational facilities where the poor as well as the rich may receive a University Education for next to little or no . outlay; excellent transportation facilities by rail and water; a climate second to none in Canada; a central geographical position convenient to all the great centres of trade; a veritable paradise for those who love fishing, hunting, boating, golfing and all outdoor sports; cheap power; cheap factory sites, ard reasonable and generous treatment in respect of bonuses and tax exemptions. : If you are interested, write: |: Kingston, Ontario.
