La Crosse, Wis.

The city of La Crosse, the county seat of La Crosse County, Wisconsin, is pleasantly situated at the confluence of the La Crosse and Black Rivers with the Mississippi.  It is the second city of the state, both in population and commercial importance.  For many years its staple industry was the manufacture of lumber, but while that business increases in volume, it is now overshadowed by the numerous diversified industries which have gradually been introduced.  The total value of goods manufactured in 1891 was close upon $2,000,000, and of merchandise handled, over $1,500,000, while the freight received and forwarded by rail was about 500,000 tons. 

La Crosse possesses many natural and acquired advantages which make it a pleasant city for residence.  Its churches, schools, free library, water works, macadamized streets, shade trees, background of bluffs, beautiful opera hall and all the modern improvements in lighting and transit, contribute to the comfort and enjoyment of its citizens to a degree which they fully appreciate, and of which they are justly proud.  Mr. R. Calvert, the Secretary of the Board of Trade, invites inquires from any one seeking a location for either business or residence, and will promptly rely to all.
