I n c n c [CAGO owes much of its jphe- Bomenal rise in financial prominence to its strategic location. Situated as Chicago is--the metropolitan heart of agriculture, population and industry in this country -- it was inevitable that a great concentration of funds should develop " Industry follows population, and money " follows industry. The geographic centers of both population and industry of the* United States, even now net lar distant from Chicago, are steadily advancing nearer. Chicago's financial rise has teen rapid -- impressive -- yet the real possibilities have only just begun to lake shape. Where the roads of commerce convergent l^ater, rail and air--as they do in Chicago^ Sopulation must increase; and where inustry joins population, financial leadership must follow.
