ASSISTANCE rendered by members of The BUSINESS Men's Club in the 
 - preparation of this volume is gratefully acknowledged. Upon them 
 alone was the work dependent for support. In its collaboration, Messrs. 
 H. P. BOYDEN and W . R. Biddle have departed from the beaten paths of 
 history and guide book, and have presented for the consideration of the reader 
 both City and Club from the standpoint of their future possibilities, as well as 
 of their achievements. The publishers have shared the expense, to the end 
 that the City and her Business Men's Club might be worthily represented by 
 a Cincinnati house. 
 
 If Cincinnati's phenomenal advantages as herein shown inspire the reader 
 with greater appreciation for The Beautiful City, as a commercial, industrial 
 and art center, the result sought will have been attained.

 I. Cincinnati 
 
 Beginnings 
 
 iff I STORY told long ago the 
 story of the coming, in De- 
 cember, 1788, of the New 
 Jersey pioneers to the vast 
 amphitheatre where a hun- 
 dred years later the Queen 
 City of the Ohio Valley was 
 to exist. 
 
 They found a great 
 plain, bed of ancient river, 
 with banks which towered 
 like their own Passaic 
 Hills, bounding it on the 
 four sides. Not from the 
 junction of the Alleghany 
 
 and the Monongahela to where the Ohio empties 
 into the Mississippi, is there a site like this which 
 the founders of Cincinnati chose. In the pre-glacial 
 period the rushing waters of the ancient river had 
 flowed over and around the wide region. Then had 
 come the glacier from the North, filling the bed of 
 that river with its mighty deposits of sand and gravel 
 and boulders, and forcing the river into a new 
 channel. Former banks took on the appearance of 
 true hills, from 400 to 470 feet high. These hills 
 were furrowed by deep ravines, scooped out by the 
 receding waters, and the wide-spreading bed of the 
 old river was transformed into a broad, level valley, 
 fit home and place, hills and valley both, for the 
 city that was to be. 
 
 19 
 
Professor Wright, in his "Ice Age in North 
 America" has unfolded the story of those distant 
 epochs, written in Cincinnati in the sands and gravel 
 of Fourth Street, the boulders of Avondale, and 
 the fossils of the hillsides. "It is the most pictur- 
 esque city in the country," said the Prince of 
 Wales, in 1860, as he looked from Storm Mount 
 across Mill Creek Valley to the hills beyond. The 
 
 river and the glacier, the Cincinnati ice-dam and 
 the Lake of the Ohio, ten thousand years before, 
 had indeed done their perfect work. 
 
 What Robert Patterson and Matthias Denman 
 saw when they landed in John Cleves Symmes' 
 purchase, opposite the mouth of the Licking river, 
 was a forest-covered plain, extending back from the 
 Ohio from half a mile to five miles, and from one 
 
 Older Cincinnati, as Viewed from the famous RookWood Pottery on Mt. Adams heights. 
 
 20 
 
mile to three miles in breadth, — in all an area of 
 about five square miles. Here and there were 
 mounds, — proof, if those early settlers had but 
 known it, that an older civilization, — moved by 
 who can tell what attractions, — had once occupied 
 the site with a city of its own kind and fashion. 
 Around the plain were the encompassing hills, 
 scraped into rounded beauty by the great glacier 
 
 and ploughed deep by many ravines and three small 
 valleys. Up these valleys were destined in after 
 years to run the Montgomery Pike, the Reading 
 Road and Vine Street. In the ravines were to be 
 clustered such settlements as Bethlehem. 
 
 Attracted by the surpassing beauty of the place, 
 a certain large spaciousness, and its evident desira- 
 bility for the uses of their life, the little party of 
 
 /« every rank, or great or small, 
 
 ' Tis industry supports us all. — Gay.

twenty- eight settled here, and called the place 
 Losantiville. They built a rude stockade, which 
 they named Fort Washington. They presently 
 changed the name of the little settlement to Cin- 
 cinnati, and they called the county Hamilton,— for 
 the Revolution and the beginnings of the Republic 
 were fresh in their memories and they 
 cherished these associations. Other 
 
 settlers began to come, and at 
 
 the commencement of the 
 nineteenth century, despite 
 Indian attacks and the hard- 
 ships of frontier life, there 
 was a population here of 
 yjf _seven hundred people. 
 Who could then have for- 
 seen that at the beginning 
 of the twentieth century, 
 this hamlet of outlanders 
 would be a great city, the 
 commercial, manufacturing, 
 industrial metropolis of the 
 Ohio Valley, and central city of 
 a nation of seventy-six millions of 
 inhabitants? 
 
 More people came. They came from New 
 Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and New 
 England. Then Germans came, seeking here the 
 freedom denied in Fatherland. A great tide of 
 immigration followed. Before the middle of the 
 century the town had grown to be a city of 46,000 
 
 yin aVenue 
 
 people, in which lived men of many states and many 
 climes and many nationalities. Provincial Cincin- 
 nati never was. She was cosmopolitan from her 
 early days, and here the streams of various life, 
 customs, thoughts and even religions have continued 
 to mingle, welded now into homogenous unity. 
 The foreign born population in all 
 Hamilton County was, by the last 
 
 census, only sixteen per cent. 
 
 of the whole. 
 
 In 1860, Cincinnati 
 had a population of 161,000 
 and its area was still chiefly 
 confined to the valley be- 
 low the hills. Then began 
 in earnest the hegira to 
 the hilltops and after 
 that movement came an 
 increase in territory. 
 
 Today, as one stands on 
 Mt. Adams, where nearly 
 sixty years ago, John Quincy 
 Adams, the greatCommoner, dedi- 
 cated the Cincinnati Observatory, he 
 of approach. gaw strctchcd before him, three hundred 
 
 feet below, the modern Cincinnati, whose begin- 
 nings Dickens and Mrs. TroUope saw. There are 
 the great industrial establishments, the thousand 
 streets, the miles of business blocks, the public 
 buildings, banks, churche.s, hotels, bridges, 
 steamboats, railroads, institutions, — all the forms 
 
 22 
 
oi acnve, ceeming, dusv me. 
 
 i o tne nortn and 
 
 east, and far across the broad valley which busi- 
 ness has claimed for its own, in the west, lies the 
 new Cincinnati, the Cincinnati of the hills, which 
 Dickens and Mrs. Trollope never saw. 
 
 Almost contemporaneously with the great 
 movement to the hills on the Ohio side of the river 
 and beyond them into the valley on the north, 
 Cincinnati began reaching across the Ohio into 
 Kentucky. It was in 1866, that the first bridge 
 was built, then the largest of its kind in the world, 
 and still second only to the bridge which hangs 
 suspended over East River. Five bridges, three of 
 them for railroads, built at an aggregate cost of 
 over eleven millions of dollars, now span the Ohio, 
 connecting the Kentucky part of the metropolis 
 with the Ohio part. Covington, Newport, Dayton, 
 
 tsellevue, Ludlow and all tlie adjacent nounsHmg 
 towns on the Kentucky side, are part and parcel of 
 this great center, this hive of industry and labor. 
 Bridges, street cars, industries all center here. 
 Census returns set forth only inadequately the 
 essential facts. Business crosses municipal and state 
 lines; the census can not. Identical interests bring 
 communities into commercial and industrial unity; 
 the census must separate into states and municipal- 
 ities. It is for this reason that neither in the last 
 census, nor in any to come, can this metropolis 
 be credited with her belongings. 
 
 Cincinnati is now the active, inspiring center 
 of a population of more than half a million people, 
 and its immediate influence, its daily trade, extends 
 into Kentucky and Indiana as well as Ohio. For com- 
 merce and business it is practically a tri-state city.

/^^IXCIXXATI thus owes to river and glacier its 
 ^-^ charm of scenery, its variety of landscape, and 
 its adaptability to the wants of business. To the 
 river it owes much more. " Every great city," savs 
 Dr. Weber, writing, in 1899, in the Columbia 
 University series, " owes its eminence to commerce, 
 and even in the United States, where the railroads 
 are popularly supposed to be the real city makers, 
 all but two of the cities of 100,000 or more inhabit- 
 ants are situated on navigable waters." 
 
 All its early growth and swift development came 
 to Cincinnati from the river. All the first traffic 
 
 was borne on its current. For years it continued 
 to be the chief artery of trade between east and 
 west. Nor did its usefulness end with the comine 
 of the railroad era. Steamboats came before steam 
 cars, and the untaxed river has brought continually 
 to the doors of Cincinnati tribute of coal from the 
 vast bituminous regions of the east, and of lumber, 
 salt, clay and other products from the mountains of 
 West Virginia and Kentucky. 
 
 The Ohio river is navigable for a thousand 
 miles, and its tributaries for three thousand more. 
 "It is the greatest tonnage-producing river in the 
 
 25 
 
world," says Colonel Vance, "and this tonnage can 
 be moved cheaper on the waters of the Ohio than 
 on any other river, or by any other mode of trans- 
 portation, in the world." 
 
 The report of Major Bixby, of the United States 
 Engineer Corps, for 1900, gave the total tonnage 
 carried on the Ohio river alone as 13,529,742 tons, 
 and the passengers carried as 3,612,895. "The river 
 arrivals of coal at Cincinnati usually represent about 
 4000 barges annually," says the last report of the 
 Chamber of Commerce. Each barge has the car- 
 rying capacity of about twenty-eight cars of twenty 
 tons each. The river rates have been stated to be 
 less than one-sixth of a cent per ton per mile. The 
 yearly coal consumption at Cincinnati is about sixty 
 million bushels, about two -thirds of all the coal 
 used here coming by river. Is it any wonder that 
 this great, untrammeled water-way has been from 
 the beginning one of the great sources of Cincin- 
 nati's growth and prosperity? "The distributing 
 river," as Professor Dana finely called the Ohio, 
 has made Cincinnati the cheapest coal market in 
 the country, and the great distributing point for 
 all the mineral and lumber regions of the moun- 
 tains, and for the coal fields of the Ohio valley. 
 
 The second great factor in the growth of 
 Cincinnati has been the railroads, twenty-three of 
 which, it is stated, enter the city. It is one of the 
 four largest railroad centers in the United States. 
 No estimate of the relative tonnage as between river 
 and rail at Cincinnati has been lately made. In 
 
 1874 a careful inquiry was instituted for the Ameri- 
 can Cyclopaedia with the result of establishing the 
 approximate tonnage ratio of the railroads and canal 
 at that time as three to one, for the river. It is 
 hardly to be questioned that by reason of the lack 
 of river improvements the ratio in favor of the rail- 
 roads is today still larger. Low rates, to and from 
 all river points, are assured by the river; and low 
 rates, to and from all other points, both in the inte- 
 rior and on the seaboard, are assured by competing 
 railroad lines, east, west, north and south. The 
 entire railroad mileage of the United States is at the 
 command of the merchants and manufacturers of 
 this city. 
 
 Nor must there be overlooked the canal, and 
 the cheap transportation it has afforded to and from 
 the prosperous cities and towns between Cincinnati 
 and Toledo. Its opening was hailed with rejoicing, 
 and today, when the preparations are visiblv in pro- 
 gress for the adoption of electricity as the motive 
 power, a new lease of usefulness seems to be 
 before it. 
 
 In December, 1899, a paper, remarkable for its 
 deductive logic, was read before the Manufactur- 
 ers' Club. The author of the paper had been 
 engaged in a large manufacturing business in an- 
 other State. Having decided that he could prose- 
 cute his business to better advantage elsewhere, he 
 made a careful study of reports and statistics of Cin- 
 cinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and Minneapolis. His 
 investigations as to the relative cost of freight from 
 
 26 
 
points of origin to all parts of the United States re- 
 sulted in the following comparisons of averages per 
 100 pounds: From Cincinnati 81 cents; Chicago 
 84 cents; St. Louis 88 cents; Minneapolis $1.22. 
 Within a radius of 600 miles, the rates were ascer- 
 tained to be: Cincinnati 66 cents; Chicago 73 
 cents; St. Louis 75 cents; Minneapolis $1.11. His 
 reasons for coming to Cincinnati were summed up 
 in these two trenchant sentences : 
 
 " It is a fact that you can reach all parts of the 
 
 United States in less average time and at a less 
 average cost, for freight, express, telegraph or pas- 
 senger service than from any other important city." 
 "All the products of the industry of the United 
 States are accessible to and from Cincinnati at a lower 
 average cost and in less average time than to or from 
 any other city." Low freight rates, securing cheap 
 distribution, and cheap raw materials, are two of 
 the essential factors in promoting commerce and 
 manufacturing.

III. Commerce and Manufacturing. 
 
 T is the environment that deter- 
 mines the development of cities," 
 a modern economic writer has 
 
 said. Just as the forces of nature, 
 through the river and glacier gave to 
 Cincinnati for all time its remarkable 
 and picturesque beauty, so the forces 
 of modern life, through the river and 
 other means of communication, estab- 
 lished the conditions under 
 which Cincinnati's past 
 growth has been achieved, 
 and under which its future 
 growth will proceed. x.. 
 
 At first, it was solely a ' 
 
 commercial city. As late as 
 
 1860, it was the largest city 
 
 in the west. Its great stores were thronged with 
 
 customers from all parts of the west and south. Its 
 
 preeminence was beyond dispute. After the civil 
 
 war, an era of rapid railroad development began, 
 
 in the midst of which this city undertook, as a 
 
 matter of commercial necessity, the construction 
 
 of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. In 1879, with 
 
 the resumption of specie payments, another era of 
 
 railroad extension set in, and cities far to the west 
 
 of Cincinnati became local emporiums of trade. 
 
 Cincinnati was not slow to see the changing 
 
 conditions. It comprehended the meaning of the 
 changes and it sought in two ways to meet them, — 
 first, by building the Southern Railroad; second, 
 by industrial development. Years before, Horace 
 Greeley had said, "It requires no keenness of obser- 
 vation to perceive that Cincinnati is destined to 
 become the focus and mart of the greatest circle of 
 manufacturing thrift on this continent." Con- 
 sciously and unconsciously, Cincinnati worked 
 along this new line. Now there is distinct recog- 
 nition, both at home and abroad, of that which 
 Mr. Greeley proclaimed, and that which natural 
 conditions have imposed. From commercial pre- 
 eminence the city has passed to the heights of 
 industrial preeminence. Here is the proof of 
 progress : '*

 deavor, let him go to the reports of Mr. C. B.

a nobler exhibit of her various forms of industrial 
 energy and might than is made in the two hundred 
 pages of his report for 1900. 
 
 A few statistics, gathered from that report, 
 speak more eloquently than words of the growth 
 of the metropolis in five years.

 "In proportion to population," Mr. Murray 
 says: "Cincinnati holds the first position among 
 cities of prominence in the country in value of out- 
 put of its factories and workshops. The output of 
 manufactures the last year represented over $600 
 per capita of local population." 
 
 In his report for 1899, Mr. Murray says: "Cin- 
 cinnati houses do more business in pig iron than is 
 done in any other market in the country. The 
 
 city continues to be the center of trade in the 
 southern product, and the houses of Cincinnati 
 with their branches elsewhere represent the largest 
 selling business in this country." Figures tell the 
 story. In 1899, the total production of pig iron in 
 the United States was 13,620,703 tons; of states 
 tributary to Cincinnati, 5,912,625 tons; Cincinnati's 
 sales and shipments, 1,658,000 tons, — nearly one- 
 eighth of the total aggregate product of the greatest 
 iron-producing country in the world. 
 
 Cheap coal, cheap lumber, cheap iron — these 
 are the substantial foundations on which the manu- 
 factures of the city are building. 
 
 The industrial development has not been one- 
 sided. It is as varied as the population is cosmo- 
 politan. It ranges from soap to pottery, from pianos 
 to plaving cards, from electrical machinery to 
 boots and shoes, from iron to meats, from lumber 
 to tobacco and beer, from vehicles to clothing, from 
 wood-working machinery to boilers and harness. 
 Cincinnati itself is scarcely conscious of its extent. 
 It has needed the coming of establishments from 
 other places, or the awards of grand prizes and 
 medals at the Paris Exposition to open the eyes of 
 many to the change which has taken place, and 
 which is still in splendid progress. 
 
 One who lived in Cincinnati twenty years and 
 more ago, said: "A man must go away from this 
 city and return at invervals, to realize how it is grow- 
 ing. Every time I come back, I am amazed at the 
 fresh evidences of prosperity."

ENTRANCE to a 
 j new life for 
 Cincinnati has 
 begun . The 
 superior ad- 
 vantages of the 
 city, here but 
 m eagerly indi- 
 cated, are real- 
 ized by all who 
 study statistics 
 and grasp their 
 full meaning. 
 Since the civil 
 war, there has been no time when as much new 
 capital has been coming to the city as during the 
 last three vears. Great capitalists, who have studied 
 situations, chances for profitable investment in 
 banking, in street railroads, in real estate, in manu- 
 facturing, in trade, have found here opportunities 
 which they have been embracing. As an illustra- 
 tion, — in the line of ammunition, Cincinnati had 
 no representation in the census of 1890; todav there 
 are but two places in the world whose yearly out- 
 put exceeds that of this city. The river and the 
 railroads, the canal, the cheapness of raw materials, 
 aided and used by awakened enterprise and faith 
 in the future, promise decades of prosperity in the 
 years to come that will surpass the measure of 
 growth which was witnessed in the great years 
 between 1820 and 1840. 
 
 Is it asked what kind of a city this is to live in — 
 this city whose natural advantages for manufactur- 
 ing and commerce have been briefly suggested? 
 It is a fair question to put, for trade and commerce 
 are not all of life. What are the advantages of the 
 city for residence? How about its public build- 
 ings, its parks, its schools, its libraries? Will there 
 be found a hospitable, conservative and cultured 
 people or a struggling, transient population, unde- 
 sirable in business relations or otherwise? 
 
 To the credit of Cincinnati, it is found that her 
 economic condition is far above the average. 
 
 Before passing to a brief consideration of the 
 new conditions that are working for the benefit of 
 this metropolis, let there be taken a glimpse of the 
 citv as it is today.

 X HIS American Notes, written in 
 1842, Charles Dickens said : 
 
 " Cincinnati is a beautiful city, 
 cheerful, thriving, animated. I have 
 not often seen a place that commends 
 itself so favorably and pleasantly to a 
 stranger as this does. I was charmed 
 with the appearance of the town and its 
 adjoining suburb, Mt. Auburn, from 
 which the city, lying in an amphitheatre 
 of hills, forms a picture of remarkable 
 beautv. The inhabitants of Cincinnati 
 are proud of their citv, and with good 
 reason, beautiful and thriving as it is." 
 
 What would the great novelist say if he could 
 walk around the city today? 
 
 In the very heart of it he would see Mr. Pro- 
 basco's splendid gift to the city, the Tyler-Davidson 
 Fountain, "one of the noblest fountains existing," 
 says Joel Cook in his " Picturesque America; " from 
 its broad esplanade, comforting with the sound of 
 its splashing waters continually both citizen and 
 stranger. 
 
 There at Fountain Square, the electric cars 
 meet — a thousand come and go every hour — and 
 take from thence their various routes to the farthest 
 limits of the metropolis, five, six, even ten miles 
 away. Upon the next block is the imposing Gov- 
 
 ernment building, Post Office, Custom House and 
 United States Courts conveniently housed under 
 one roof. Just around one corner from Fountain 
 Square is a fine specimen of modern architecture 
 put up by the Union Trust Company; and just 
 around the other corner is the Chamber of Com- 
 merce, one of the last works of the greatest of 
 American architects, the ever-lamented Richardson. 
 For the purposes for which it was designed, he 
 thought to the end of his life, it was his most suc- 
 cessful work. 
 
 The City Hall, not many squares away, is as 
 fine a municipal building as there is in the country; 
 its massive, square tower, sturdily standing, fit em- 
 blem of the solidity of Cincinnati. 
 
 Other notable public buildings, which even in 
 a swift sketch like this must be mentioned, are the 
 Court House and the Armory, the Hospital and the 
 Public Library, the House of Refuge and the Work 
 House, all conspicuous for their adaptation to the 
 uses for which they were designed. 
 
 In proportion to its population the last census 
 shows that Cincinnati is richer in its charitable and 
 benevolent institutions than any other in the coun- 
 try. Outside the City Infirmary there are eighteen 
 other institutions where charity is dispensed to those 
 in distress ; and beside the Cincinnati Hospital there 
 are no less than seventeen others, where nearly 
 
 33

17,000 patients were treated during the year 1900. 
 Up to the north of the City Hall is the Music 
 Hall and the great block of Exposition Buildings, 
 the gift of Mr. Springer and hundreds of contrib- 
 uting citizens. The first exposition in the United 
 States was held in Cincinnati. This was as far back 
 as 1838, and it was given 
 under the auspices of the 
 Ohio Mechanics' Institute 
 — curious and striking 
 prophecy and sign of future 
 development and distinc- 
 tion. \\'ith occasional, and 
 sometimes long, interrup- 
 tions, these expositions 
 were continued until 1888, 
 onlv to be revived in the 
 even more attractive form 
 of Fall Festivals. It was 
 during the exposition pe- 
 riod of the early seventies, 
 that the enterprise and pub- 
 lic spirit of the merchants 
 and manufacturers found 
 fitting material expression 
 in the erection of this costly 
 and stately pile, now the 
 enduring home of industry. 
 And of art as well, for in 
 the first exposition build- 
 ing was given the first of 
 
 the Musical Festivals which have an international 
 fame, and which have brought to this city the fore- 
 most singers of the world. And there, in the build- 
 ings originally designed and planned for the expo- 
 sitions of industry, the festivals continue to be held, 
 art and industry cooperating in the work of civic 
 
 evolution. 
 
 The educational system 
 was established on a broad 
 and comprehensive basis. 
 A public school system, 
 which is maintained at a 
 present cost of over a mil- 
 lion dollars a year, and in 
 which 46,000 pupils are en- 
 rolled, is supplemented by 
 parochial and private 
 schools with an enrollment 
 of 5000 more. The public 
 schools culminate in the 
 high schools, of which there 
 are three, with another soon 
 to be added. Beyond the 
 high schools is the Univer- 
 sitv of Cincinnati. 
 
 The Universitv was 
 founded in 1870, through 
 private munificence. " It 
 is entering upon a career 
 of great promise," said 
 Preside ntOrton, of the Ohio 
 
 Cr<jr Hall.

University, writing in 1882. Since that time, and 
 especially in the last two years, under new and 
 vigorous administration, it has begun a widely 
 extended work. It has public support to the extent 
 of more than $60,000 a year, and this is very largely 
 increased by private benefactions. Its collegiate 
 department compares favorably with those of other 
 
 names as those of Judge Walker and Judge Storer, 
 and Dr. Drake and Dr. Graham, under whose 
 remarkable abilities the school of law and the 
 medical colleges grew and flourished, attracting 
 students from all parts of the country.

 same general direction as the Technical School is

 that has been to the workmen in the shops what

 the medical colleges and the law school have been 
 to the professional student. Outside the University 
 are three theological schools, — Lane Seminary, 
 whose foundations were laid deep by Dr. Beecher; 
 St. Mary's, consecrated by the labor of John Baptist 
 Purcell; and the Hebrew Union College, that attests 
 to the scholarship of Rabbi Wise. 
 
 In the department of art, are the Art Museum 
 and the Art School, attracting students from all 
 parts of the country, and placed by private bene- 
 factions, on a firm and lasting basis. There are 
 two colleges of music, these also on established 
 and secure foundations, whose work is recognized 
 throughout the land. 
 
 Far away, on the eastern hill that is called Mt. 
 Lookout, is the Observatory. Ormsby AL Mitchel, 
 then astronomer and afterwards dashing general, 
 raised the money which was needed for the pur- 
 chase of the refracting telescope, which, when it 
 was bought, was the largest west of the Alleghanies. 
 Others surpass it today; but, let it not be forgotten 
 that it was in the service of the Observatory under 
 Cleveland Abbe, that the first organized meteoro- 
 logical observations on an extended scale were 
 undertaken, and that the inspiration of the Weather 
 Bureau Department of the National Government 
 came from Cincinnati. The great refractor stood, 
 when it was bought, for the loftiest aspirations, in

 law and medical student, for the boy in the 
 Technical School and the young man in the 
 Mechanics' Institute, for the students in the 
 Colleges of Music or the Art School, and 
 men in the busy work-shops, there are the 
 alcoves and shelves of the Public Library. It 
 is supported at public expense, and as far 
 back as IHSO it was spoken of as second only 
 to the public library of Boston. Todav, with 
 larger income than ever, amounting annually 
 to about $100,000, and under a new and pro- 
 gressive management, it is entering on a

 pure science, of the day, and it was 
 private citizens of Cincinnati who fur- 
 nished the money to buy it. When the 
 Observatorv was dedicated, the day was 
 one of national interest. Today it is 
 maintained largely at public expense, 
 and the refractor is used almost exclu- 
 sively for observations on double stars. 
 It is a noble and honorable history; and 
 it is a part of the educational history and 
 present educational installment of Cin- 
 cinnati. 
 
 And, finally, for the use and benefit 
 of all, for the child in the intermediate 
 grade of the public schools to the most ad- 
 vanced student in the University, for the 
 
career of usefulness that will enable it to realize 
 the dream of its founders. Its branches are estab- 
 lished throughout the whole county. In special 
 directions the exceedingly valuable library of the 
 
 Historical Society, the Lloyd Library, "one of the 
 most famous botanical and pharmacal libraries in 
 the world," the Pharmaceutical Age of New York 
 says, and the collections of the Society of Natural

History complement the Public Library. "Tools 
 for those that can use them," said Napoleon. 
 Scholars, students are coming here in ever-increas- 
 ing numbers, to use these implements of literary, 
 scientific, industrial, artistic life. 
 
 The educational system of no city in the country 
 rests on deeper or broader foundations. Intellect- 
 ual, artistic and industrial endeavor is in the presence 
 of high and ennobling stimulus. The material 
 outcome of this constant, abiding incentive is to be 
 seen in what has been accomplished by such insti- 
 tutions or factories, — call them what you will — as 
 Rookwood Pottervand those other industries which 
 lately represented the city in the Paris Exposition. 
 No city in the country was as numerously and as 
 
 substantially honored as was the metropolis of the 
 Ohio valley in the last and greatest of the world's 
 expositions of art and industry. 
 
 Around all, educational institutions, industrial 
 establishments, great business blocks, and homes, 
 the city throws the protection of police and fire 
 departments that for efficiency, trustworthiness, and 
 discipline are not surpassed in this or any other 
 land. This city was among the first to adopt the 
 Bertillion Identification System, to rid herself of 
 criminals. It is not to be overlooked or forgotten that 
 Cincinnati gave to the world the steam fire engine, 
 and with it set the example of a paid fire depart- 
 ment; and that its non-partisan police system is the 
 admiration of the police authorities of the country.

ANOTHER great English novelist said, as he looked 
 1- long at a view on Grandin Road, "This is a 
 very friendly landscape." So Horace Greely spoke 
 in his Cincinnati letter of 1850, of "the smiling 
 hills." The two chief parks of the city are on the 
 hills. Eden Park is fitly named, — it is a garden of 
 Paradise. The "friendly landscape," as Thackeray 
 called it, the " smiling hills," the "distributing 
 river" attract the eye and charm the historic sense. 
 
 "No view on the river Rhine is finer," said Lebbeus 
 Harding Rogers. From the water tower, one 
 can sweep, as from a mountain top, a horizon fifty 
 miles in breadth, within which is a population that 
 pays proud allegiance to the great city. Just below, 
 to the east, is Walnut Hills, with the river sweeping 
 in its glorious bend to the north. "The city is 
 noted for the beauty of its suburbs and surround- 
 ing scenery," says the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

The view of East Walnut Hills is sufficient to con- 
 firm the truth of this statement. 
 
 The other great park is Burnet Woods, in the 
 northern part of the city. Here are preserved with 
 wise prevision the trees, some of which were old 
 when the city was founded. Here are still the land- 
 scape and the hills that novelist and editor loved to 
 look upon; and here is a glimpse, across the broad 
 bed of the ancient Ohio, over to the western hills. 
 
 with their deep ravines and their winding roadways. 
 Here also are the University buildings, already giv- 
 ing, by their stateliness and beauty, sign and promise 
 of that which shall be. Smaller parks are scattered 
 through the city. 
 
 The view of Chester Park, during the National 
 Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic 
 was one never to be forgotton, when the veterans of 
 the Civil War met to renew their old associations.

Private enterprise has supplemented the park 
 system of the city. The Zoological Gardens, 
 famous throughout both hemispheres, are main- 
 tained by a private corporation. Traction companies 
 own the Lagoon and 
 
 Chester Park. 
 
 Coney Island, on 
 the river, ten miles 
 above the city, and 
 Fort Thomas, back 
 of Newport, on the 
 heights, add their 
 attractions and varied 
 charms. The view 
 from Fort Thomas, 
 of the Ohio valley to 
 the east and of the 
 Little Miami valley to 
 the north, is worthy of comparison 
 with those of the Riverside Drive of 
 New York, or Druid Hill Park in Bal- 
 timore. Close by Coney Island are the 
 new Water Works, designed, when 
 completed, to afiford a supply of filtered 
 water for a population twice as large | 
 as that of the present city. Around ' 
 those works a park and driveway will yet be laid out 
 that will equal in attractions Fairmount Park of 
 Philadelphia or the loveliness of Brookline. Even 
 now, where are more picturesque views to be found 
 than are to be seen on Elberon and Warsaw avenues? 
 
 
 along Hamilton pike or the Groesbeck road as 
 they wind their separate ways to College Hill? from 
 Kennedy Heights overlooking Duck Creek Valley? 
 or from the Branch Hospital with its distant view of 
 the spires and towers of the imperial city 
 on the hills? 
 
 From Mt. Adams' heights, the land- 
 scape rivals that of Marseilles, from Notre 
 Dame de la Garde, so appreciated by 
 travelers. From any height or tower will 
 surely be found a rich and varied pros- 
 pect. The city is impressive from all 
 points. The range 
 
 of green hills, rich 
 ravines, fertile val- 
 leys, deep glens , 
 forests, farms, the 
 three rivers, and 
 numerous outlying 
 villages, each gives 
 an added charm to 
 rest. No wonder 
 artist and writer pro- 
 nounce the picture 
 marvelously beau- 
 tiful. 
 
 It has been said that an adequate impression of 
 what the city really is, mav only be gained by view- 
 ing older Cincinnati from the heights. The impos- 
 ing river approach is one of such natural beauty as 
 to remain indelibly impressed upon the memory.

 scarcely better known 
 than is this silent city 
 of the dead, its six hun- 
 dred acres beautified 
 by the art and skill of a 
 great landscape gar- 
 dener. The ever en- 
 larging city gains ever in landscape and richness of 
 clustering associations. 
 
 Views of this cemetery, exhibited at the Paris 
 Exposition, received the first award for artistic per- 
 spective and natural charm. jVIillions of travelers 
 pass through the grounds annually over one of Cin- 
 cinnati's oldest railroads, and thus the picturesque 
 beauty of this last resting place has become even 
 better known. Upon a property, which even in 
 those early days was valued at over half a million 
 dollars, many graceful shafts have been raised and 
 mausoleums erected. The statue of Egeria at the 
 Fountain is much admired by visitors. 
 
 In the midst of beautiful surroundings and desir- 
 able influences, the resident districts of the metrop- 
 olis lie. Whether on the hills or in the valleys 
 they who abide here have both remote and near past 
 to stimulate civic pride, public spirit and private 
 enterprise. "The climate," says Professor Orton, 
 "favors symmetrical development and a high degree 
 of vigor." The various fine products of the Atlan- 
 tic, the Gulf and the Lakes are within twentv-four 
 hours of the doors of the citv. The streets are well 
 paved, "perhaps," says high authority, "the best in 
 the country." The old smoke nuisance is greatly 
 abating. Land prices have never advanced under 
 excessive speculation. Rents are low. Wealth is 
 increasing, and at the same time is widely distribu- 
 ted. The tax duplicate has risen from one hundred 
 and sixty-one millions in 1881 to two hundred and 
 twenty-five millions in IDOL It is the fifth city in 
 the L-nited States in municipal assets, and in the per 
 capita of municipal assets the second. 
 
 At the present time there are over ten thous- 
 and more voters registered in Cincinnati than in 
 Cleveland, made possible by the greater number of 
 permanent residents in the Queen City. 
 
 The government report of postage and internal 
 revenue returns for the two cities shows an excess 
 of business to Cincinnati's credit. 
 
V. (d h e Future of Cincinnati 
 
 IT is the bold thought of a modern speculative 
 philosopher that history may yet be written in 
 
 advance, so firm and sure will be the grasp of 
 men on underlying causes. At the end of his 
 "Democracy in America," de Tocqueville ventured 
 two pages of prophecy for the Great Republic. 
 
 Any forecast of Cincinnati must take into large 
 account two factors. 
 
 1. The River. As it was one of the two great 
 agencies that gave to Cincinnati all its natural advan- 
 tages of situation, so one must hark back to it in 
 looking forward to the future. 
 
 Under the auspices of the Cincinnati Chamber 
 of Commerce, there was formed in IH'JS the Ohio 
 Valley Improvement Association. By patient and 
 systematic work that association has secured appro- 
 priations for the survey of the Ohio River with the 
 end in view of establishing a system of movable 
 locks and dams which will secure a stage of water 
 six feet in depth the year round, from Pittsburg to 
 Cairo. The estimated cost of the entire improve- 
 ments is $19,500,000. Considerable work has been 
 already done. The location of one of these dams 
 has been fixed at Cullom's Ripples, six miles below 
 Cincinnati. When this work is completed— the vast 
 scheme of improvement has been decided on— 
 Cincinnati will have a safe permanent harbor 
 thirty miles long. As to the effect of this improve- 
 
 ment, let another fill the prophetic role. Colonel 
 Vance, president of the association, says: "Cincin- 
 nati and vicinity and all its activities will be benefited 
 to a greater extent than any other section of the river, 
 and an era of prosperity will set in that she has not 
 witnessed in her history." 
 
 2. The Cincinnati Southern Railroad. The effort 
 begun in 1869 to maintain the commercial and indus- 
 trial position of Cincinnati cost her the enormous 
 sum of thirty millions of dollars. The burden of 
 this tremendous debt on the taxpayers has been very 
 heavy. An average difference of $448,000 between 
 rental and interest on the bonds, has had to be made 
 up each year by the taxpayers. Dr. Weber says: 
 "Low rents and taxes will, in most cases, prove to 
 be the decisive factors in the growth of industrial 
 cities." 
 
 A proposition has been accepted by the city for 
 an extension of the present lease for a term of sixty- 
 five years. The Southern Railroad, under the terms 
 of the lease and the refunding of the bonds, which 
 commence to fall due next July, will at once begin 
 to pay into the city treasury an excess of income 
 over interest of $339,000 a year; in May, 1906, an 
 excess of over $500,000 a year, and this excess will 
 increase until the last years of the terms when it 
 will amount to $700,000 annually. If the yearly sur- 
 plus be used to cancel the indebtedness, the entire

 50 
 
Southern Railroad debt can be discharged by 1925, 
 and the road will be the unencumbered asset of the 
 city, bringing into the city $1,100,000 a year for 
 twenty years, and $1,200,000 a year for the next 
 twenty. 
 
 More even than this. Terminal improvements, 
 worth $2,500,000, will be begun at once, and com- 
 pleted within six years. At the end of the lease they 
 will become the unencumbered property of the city 
 without having cost the city, or any taxpayer, a 
 single dollar. There will also come a reduction 
 in taxes. The interest and sinking fund charge is 
 now about one-fifth of the tax rate. The net income 
 of the Southern Railroad will be enough to take care 
 of the entire debt, and in addition provide a sinking 
 fund that will cancel the entire debt at maturity. 
 The tax rate of Cincinnati will be no less attractive 
 to commerce and industry than the price of raw 
 materials and the rates of transportation. 
 
 Dr. Hollander, in his famous studv of the South- 
 ern Railroad, speaks of it as "an experiment as 
 anomalous as it is remarkable." It is unique in the 
 municipal history of the world. It has succeeded, 
 and it will be a source of municipal profit equal to 
 the expectations of even that remarkable man to 
 whose originality of conception, fertility of resource 
 and indomitable courage its building was due. 
 
 As far as human foresight can determine, the 
 future of this river and glacier metropolis will be as 
 a palimpsest in which the achievements of the past 
 will be written over in the glories of the time to come. 
 
 The conditions are here, the men are here, to fulfill 
 Horace Greely's prophecy of 1850: "Her delightful 
 climate, her unequaled and ever-increasing facilities 
 for cheap and rapid commercial intercourse with 
 all parts of the country and the world, her enter- 
 prising and exulting youth, are all elements which 
 assure her quick and electric progress to giant 
 greatness." 
 
 Mr. Bryce says, at the end of his "American 
 Commonwealth": "The coasts of history are strewn 
 with the wrecks of predictions launched by histor- 
 ians and philosophers." Nevertheless, and still, 
 the natural and eager questioning comes: "What 
 of the future? What does, or may, it hold in store 
 for this fair city of our love?" 
 
 1 . It is not unreasonable to look forward, during 
 the next few decades, to a larger relative growth, 
 and it may easily be a larger absolute growth, in the 
 South, than in any other part of the United States. 
 At least statistics lend color to this view. Unde- 
 veloped agricultural and mineral resources are the 
 foundations for this belief. Senator M'Laurin says, 
 in the "North American Review": "It is the natural 
 destiny of the Southern States of the Union to clothe 
 and feed the world. They will become the great 
 wealth-producing area of the country by virtue of 
 their natural monopoly of cotton and cotton manu- 
 factures and iron and iron manufactures." Cincinnati 
 is one of the great and natural gateways to the South. 
 
 2. Through the enterprise and self-denial of a 
 generation, Cincinnati owns, in the Southern 
 
 5' 
 
Railroad, the best-built and the most direct means 
 of communication between the North and South. 
 That railroad will hereafter not only not cost the city 
 anything to maintain, but will bring in a large rev- 
 enue and taxes will be reduced. What has been for 
 thirty years a burden will help within a year, and ever 
 thereafter, to bear the burden.

 3. There will come an improvement in the 
 terminal facilities of the city, for lack of which the 
 city, in its commerce and its industries, has suffered 
 and is still suffering. There will be no more trouble 
 on this score. Great improvements in the adjacent 
 property will naturally follow. 
 
 4. Through the wise foresight of the municipal 
 
 government, the city is now deriving from one of 
 its great quasi-public corporations, the street rail- 
 roads, a larger annual income than any other city 
 in the Union, save Baltimore, enjoys. This income 
 will increase as the population of the city increases, 
 and the receipts of the street railroad company 
 grow larger. It is hardly to be supposed that the 
 
 An evening class at The Ohio Mechanics' Institute. 
 
 city, whose foresight secured certain compensation 
 for a street railroad franchise, will not secure such 
 compensation from other quasi-public corporations. 
 This again means lower taxes. 
 
 5. River transportation will be greatly facilitated 
 as the National Government goes on with its work 
 of internal improvement, and the river will become 
 
 52 
 
a feature of greater importance than it has been since 
 1850. 
 
 6. The canal will be improved. Lake Superior 
 iron ores and Ohio river coal will find in, or near, 
 Cincinnati the meeting point where raw material 
 can be most cheaply and profitably worked over and 
 into the manufactured product. 
 
 Thus the superior advantages of Cincinnati, 
 both as a manufacturing center and as a distributing 
 point, will certainly be increased bv forces and 
 agencies now at work and within sight of all. These 
 advantages will, in all probability, secure more rapid 
 growth in population during the next three or four 
 decades than in the last three or four. Dr. C. C. 
 Long savs, in his standard school series, that "Cin- 
 cinnati enjovs advantages of location and natural 
 wealth, which have made possible her industrial 
 supremacy and commercial greatness." 
 
 7. Coal smoke has hitherto been and, although 
 lessened, is now, one of Cincinnati's great draw- 
 backs. There is no question but it can be largely 
 prevented. With a vigorous public opinion that it 
 shall be prevented, and with growing knowledge of 
 the enormous loss that smoke means and causes, a 
 smokeless city can scarcely be regarded as a distant 
 dream. Something has been already accomplished. 
 With active, energetic municipal cooperation, it 
 will not be difficult to secure the desired end. When 
 public opinion will no more tolerate smoking chim- 
 neys on city plants — the Front street water works, 
 for instance — than at the works of private industrial 
 
 establishments, the longed-for end will not be far 
 off. What has been, and is still, regarded as a neces- 
 sary evil, will become an insupportable, intolerable 
 waste. Science never yet failed to keep abreast 
 with public demand. With the abatement of smoke 
 willdisappear the onlyblemish in the city landscapes. 
 
 8. With the reduction in taxation, which will fol- 
 low the lease-extension of the Southern Railroad, 
 and the refunding of the Southern Railroad bonds, 
 will come a park system. That system will be finer 
 than that of any other system in the country, because 
 in the fifty square miles in and around Cincinnati 
 are such natural park capabilities as no other city in 
 the country has. The art of the landscape gardener 
 will be called upon as that of Count Rumford was 
 called upon bv Munich, or of Frederick Law Olm- 
 stead by New York. That such a system was not 
 created long ago is due to the fact that the city 
 preferred to build its railroad to buying its parks. 
 Now she can have both, for her railroad has made 
 her the richest city in this country. 
 
 Florence, the longest-lived and most glorious 
 of all the free commonwealths of Italy, had, in the 
 days of her splendor, her libraries, her observatory, 
 her university. Albert Shaw says "the modern city 
 is a highly self-conscious organization, each marked 
 by its individual characteristics." The nine muses, 
 handmaidens of industry, are inviting to Cincinnati 
 in the name of Music and Art, Science and Liter- 
 ature. The University, the libraries, the great 
 professional schools, are landmarks that not only 
 
 53 
 
show Cincinnati's past aspirations, but that blaze 
 the way to future distinction. Municipal and private 
 wealth are alike growing. The city is increasing 
 in all that makes a city attractive, or living in it 
 attractive. The growth has been intensive, rather 
 than extensive. Mere largeness is not the chief 
 element of urban life. Three generations have 
 delivered to the generation of today a city fair to 
 look upon, solid as the hills which surround it, and 
 attractive to both art and industry. 
 
 The "Philopolist" was dedicated by its author 
 to The Business Men's Club, "because he believes 
 them loyally devoted to the higher interests of Cin- 
 cinnati." The traditions, the inspirations are here 
 to stimulate. Opportunities wait to be embraced. 
 A broader work than any yet accomplished can be 
 done. "The City Beautiful" only waits to be. 
 builded by such loyalty and personal devotion as 
 appears in the resourceful efforts of The Business 
 Men's Club.

 NNATI, FIRST. LAST AND ALL THE TIME. 
 
 
 NINE years ago, ten young men of Cincinnati, — 
 the oldest was scarcely more than twenty- 
 one, — were inspired to associate themselves 
 together to conceive and discuss, at stated times, 
 matters relating to the general interests of the city. 
 The Business Men's Club is the outgrowth of the 
 meetings and efforts then begun. 
 
 They called themselves the Young Men's Bus- 
 iness Club, and decided to hold ten meetings a year, 
 at each of which dinner was to be served, at a cost 
 not exceeding one dollar per plate. The annual 
 dues were also fixed at one dollar. Such were the 
 modest beginnings of the Club that today is fore- 
 most in active, aggressive, progressive work for Cin- 
 cinnati. In a way, the history of the Club typifies 
 the history of the cityitself as already briefly sketched. 
 Youth, with its strong purpose, does not know that 
 anything is impossible. 
 
 The ten annual dinners were given at the Grand 
 Hotel, where warm welcome and hospitality were 
 extended. To this day the original members of the 
 Club remember gratefully the liberality and courtesy 
 thev received in the early days from the manage- 
 ment of that Hotel. 
 
 New members were enrolled. The dinners 
 constituted the meetings, with short and rather 
 informal addresses and discussions on subjects of 
 general, but always of Cincinnati's, interest. After 
 a time, with a view to interest older business men 
 of the city in their work, a resolution was passed 
 admitting associate members at two dollars a year; 
 and it was with sincere pleasure that the Club saw 
 recorded on its books the names of nearly a hundred 
 of some of the most prominent business and pro- 
 fessional men of Cincinnati who gave the encour- 
 agement, not only of their support, but of their 
 
 hZ

 58 
 
presence, to the voung men in their undertaking. 
 
 A president was elected, Mr. Theodore Mayer, 
 and during his term of office the annual dues were 
 raised to ten dollars, — no charge being made for 
 the dinners. The modest expenses were still kept 
 down, the basis of membership being thus main- 
 tained as broad as possible. During Mr. Mayer's 
 term, on one special occasion, addresses on the 
 Southern Railroad were made by Mr. Ingalls and 
 Mr.W. T. Perkins. At other dinners members of 
 the Club were the speakers, and among the ques- 
 tions discussed were the building of a belt railroad, 
 a uniform bill of lading, and the canal. The subject 
 of securing a fast mail to and from the South was 
 brought up, and Mr. A. W. Sommerfield was 
 appointed, in connection with one from nine other 
 prominent organizations, to visit Washington and 
 urge upon Congress the need of the increased facil- 
 ities. Success crowned the efforts, and the good 
 results of the work are being still realized. To the 
 Club itself this success brought both public recog- 
 nition of its usefulness and also a distinct conscious- 
 ness that it had become a factor of importance in 
 the life of Cincinnati. 
 
 Mr. Mayer was succeeded by Mr. Sommerfield 
 and he served as presiding officer from September, 
 1895, to September, 1896. The now customary ten 
 dinners were given at the Grand Hotel during Mr. 
 Sommerfield's term, at one of which Judge W. H. 
 Taft, now the Governor General of the Philippines, 
 delivered a stirring address on "The Proper and 
 
 Possible Influence of Young Business Men upon 
 Public and Municipal Affairs." There was a very 
 large attendance at this meeting, and it is still remem- 
 bered as one of the most distinguished Club 
 occasions. At another interesting meeting that year, 
 Mr. E. A. Angell of Cleveland, and Mr. Richard 
 Smith of this city, spoke on "Tax Laws, their 
 Iniquities and their Remedies." Other meetings 
 were addressed by members of the Club. 
 
 The most important event of the year was the 
 adoption of a recommendation by President Som- 
 merfield for the incorporation of the Club under 
 the laws of Ohio. In accordance with this action, 
 the Club was incorporated, under the name it had 
 borne from its organization, on May 11, 1896, the 
 incorporators being A. W. Sommerfield, Theodore 
 Mayer, Mortimer O'Kane, Harry Hess, George B. 
 Clarkson and P. J. Cadwalader. 
 
 ' ' There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at its flood leads on to fortune." 
 
 This act of incorporating seemed to greatly 
 promote the Club's interest. It gave new life and 
 inspiration to those who had been most zealous in 
 its behalf. From that time on, the Club grew stead- 
 ily in both membership and importance among the 
 other organizations of the city. 
 
 Mr. Robert McGowan was elected President 
 in September, 1896. It was during his term, in July, 
 1897, that the limit of membership, one hundred, 
 was reached. During the winter of 1897, the mem- 
 bership fast increasing, it had been proposed that 
 the Club make an effort to secure one or more rooms 
 
 59 
 
Director's room, billiard parlor, grill room and office. 
 
 60 
 
in some central location where such members as 
 desired could meet daily, and so place the organiza- 
 tion on a substantial club basis. A committee was 
 appointed to ascertain what could 
 be done,withinstructionsto report 
 as soon as possible. Some time 
 was spent in investigation, and the 
 committee finally recommended 
 securing a room in the second 
 floor of the Pike Building where 
 lunch could be served at noon by 
 caterer White. The recommen- 
 dation was adopted and the room at 
 once secured. Arrangements 
 were made for the serving of lunch 
 from 11 A. M. to 3 P. M. 
 
 When, in July, the limit of 
 membership of one hundred was 
 reached, the Club, at a regular 
 meeting, decided to increase the 
 limit to two hundred, for the two- 
 fold purpose of giving additional 
 strength and of making the organ- 
 ization more representative of 
 the city's interests. It was soon 
 found that the one room in the 
 Pike Building did not meet the 
 requirements of the Club, and 
 
 Club quarters, 1901 
 
 two more were secured, directly in the rear of the 
 one then in use. These were furnished as recep- 
 tion, and reading and smoking rooms. 
 
 At the end of Mr. McGowan's term, in Sep- 
 tember, 1897, the Club membership numbered one 
 hundred and thirty-five, made up of representative 
 and progressive young business 
 men of Cincinnati, interested in 
 various lines of trade and manu- 
 facture, and bound together by 
 many business and social ties. 
 The Club furnishings were paid 
 for and a considerable surplus was 
 left in the treasury. Moreover, a 
 Club home having been acquired, 
 the monthly dinner at the Grand 
 Hotel was discontinued, as was 
 also the addresses by non-members 
 of the Club. Instead, business 
 meetings of the Club were held, 
 at which papers were read by 
 members of the Club on matters 
 of interest to Cincinnati, after 
 which a buflfet lunch was served. 
 Mr. George M. Verity was 
 chosen President, after a spirited 
 contest, in September, 1897, suc- 
 ceeding Mr. McGowan. The 
 Club year that followed proved an 
 eventful one. During it, the Club 
 entertained President McKinley. 
 It increased its membership from one hundred and 
 thirty-five to a limit of five hundred; and it saw 
 
 arrangements made and plans perfected for a 
 
 61 
 
Secretary's office, dining room, library and ladies' parlor. 
 
 62 
 
permanent home that would be creditable to both 
 itself and the city; it secured amended articles of 
 incorporation which authorized a capital stock 
 of $25,000, of which one-half was immediately sub- 
 scribed by members of the Club; and, finally, 
 pending the selection of a permanent home, it 
 removed temporarily to the Emery Hotel. 
 
 Mr. John H. Gibson succeeded Mr. Verity as 
 President, in September, 1898. At the end of Mr. 
 Gibson's term he was able to congratulate the Club 
 on having secured, after some difficulties, a perma- 
 nent home in the Herschede Building, No. 24 East 
 Fourth street; on a full membership of five hundred, 
 with a waiting list besides, and on the prosperous 
 condition of Club affairs. In his annual report Mr. 
 Gibson spoke of Club visits to Louisville and Dayton, 
 "which," he said, "cannot fail to produce friendly 
 business relations between the cities, and will assist 
 in adjusting questions of freight discriminations and 
 prevent business differences from arising." He 
 spoke also of the Club's entertaining "our friends 
 from Louisville," and the Alabama Editorial Asso- 
 ciation. It was during Mr. Gibson's administra- 
 tion, on September 9, 1899, that the name of the 
 Club was changed to The Business Men's Club. 
 "The new name implies solidity and maturity," 
 said Mr. Gibson in his report. 
 
 Mr. W. H. Harrison succeeded Mr. Gibson, 
 being elected President in September, 1899. The 
 principal Club event of Mr. Harrison's administra- 
 tion was the removal of the Club to the present 
 
 spacious and delightful house. For the first time 
 in its history the Club found itself in convenient 
 and comfortable quarters — though, indeed, con- 
 sidering that it had been founded only about seven 
 years before, its rapid progress is rather more strik- 
 ing than the fact that it had not earlier found its 
 established home. All the usual club conveniences 
 and facilities are now at its command. The house 
 was dedicated November 30, 1899. 
 
 The Club regulations, adopted immediately 
 after Mr. Harrison's election — September 28, 1899, 
 provided for a membership limit of five hundred, 
 for the ownership by each member of one share of 
 stock, for an initiation fee of ten dollars, and for 
 annual dues of twenty-five dollars. The member- 
 ship limit has since been raised, first to seven hundred 
 and fifty and then to eight hundred. With this 
 exception, the regulations as to dues and qualifying 
 conditions remain as then adopted. Other condi- 
 tions are such as are commonly found in force in 
 similar organizations. 
 
 Scarcely was the Club in possession of its new 
 abode when, through events and surrounding con- 
 ditions, the leadership in the movement for a Fall 
 Festival devolved upon it. In a way the Festival 
 was a revival of the old Exposition idea, but the 
 experience of the past was but a slight guide to the 
 work then taken in hand. New methods had to be 
 devised; an uninterested public had to be made 
 interested; money had to be raised and plans 
 of entertainment and instruction thought out; 
 
 63 
 
cooperation had to be secured. It was The Business 
 Men's Club that held the laboring oar. The Presi- 
 dent of the Festival, himself a member of the Club, 
 said, after it was all over: 
 
 "Six months ago, 1 doubt if there were fifty 
 people in Cincinnati who wanted a Fall Festival. 
 I doubt if you can find fifty now who do not want 
 one next year. It will 
 be as easy to succeed then 
 as most people thought 
 it would be to fail this 
 year." 
 
 During the year, the 
 Club took a very active 
 part in the successful 
 effort to secure the pass- 
 age of the legislation 
 necessary to bring about 
 the annexation of neighboring suburbs, and in 
 advocating the annexation measure before the peo- 
 ple. It gave valuable support to the May Festival 
 of 1900. It strongly advocated larger appropriations 
 by the city government for street cleaning, and 
 obtained them. It was foremost in securing the 
 passage by the Board of Legislation of the Valley 
 switch ordinance. It sent a committee to Wash- 
 ington to urge the appropriation of a million dollars 
 by the National Government for the improvement 
 of the river at Cincinnati. It visited Indianapolis — 
 "a master stroke," President Harrison said in his 
 annual report, "to create good fellowship with the 
 
 merchants." It was at work also, through com- 
 mittees, on the municipal code, the abatement of 
 the smoke nuisance, the Southern Railroad, the 
 canal and street railroadimprovements. It also took 
 up the feasibility of establishing an Industrial Bu- 
 reau — work that was destined later to be of great 
 benefit to the city. For, capitalists and industrial 
 promoters everywhere, have since heard through 
 this bureau, that choice manufacturing sites on trunk 
 lines of railroad, may be secured here; that a low 
 insurance rate prevails, and that skilled labor and 
 
 raw materials are avail- 
 able in Cincinnati, at the 
 minimum of cost. 
 
 At the end of his 
 term. President Harrison 
 had the pleasure of an- 
 nouncing a Club mem- 
 bership limit of seven 
 hundred and fifty, a Club 
 membership of seven 
 hundred and forty-eight, 
 with a waiting list of 
 In eata attire. fourtcen; all building 
 
 and furnishing accounts, amounting to nearly 
 $20,000 paid, and a net balance in bank, after deduct- 
 ing all outstanding and unsettled bills, of over $7,000. 
 Well could the retiring president say that the work 
 of the Club had "broadened out," that "the record 
 of the past year was one to be proud of," and that 
 the members "had not spared themselves to accom- 
 
 64 
 
plish the best interests of the Club and promote the 
 city's welfare." 
 
 Mr. John Church was chosen to succeed Mr. 
 Harrison, being elected president in September, 
 1900. During his term of office much profitable 
 committee work was accomplished. Work by the 
 committee on movable dams was followed by that 
 of committees on canal improvement. Southern 
 Railroad lease extension, abatement of smoke, 
 street railwavs, parks, public baths, municipal 
 afifairs, Ssngerfest deficit, telephone cooperation, 
 trades excursions and various other matters of im- 
 portance to the city. The results in nearly every 
 instance have been gratifying. 
 
 The new quarters committee submitted to the 
 Club several choice locations and plans for a new 
 Club building, which it is intended shall be of the 
 most modern type, — the present quarters, though 
 but recently improved, having been found inade- 
 quate to the needs of the rapidly increasing mem- 
 bership. 
 
 The Club has contributed liberally to numerous 
 worthy enterprises, and strives to emphasize the 
 principle that the world should be better as the 
 result of each person in it having been useful. The 
 Club's work shows that business men, — as well as 
 artists, authors, clergymen, soldiers, scientists and 
 others to whom such desire is usually attributed, — 
 may have unselfish motives and may discountenance 
 every element that flies the black flag; especially 
 where the city's interests are at stake. 
 
 Mr. George Puchta succeeded Mr. Church in 
 the presidency in September, 1901, after the most 
 spirited, yet friendly, contest in the history of the 
 Club. New work is being mapped out for the 
 coming year. The membership has been increased 
 to nine hundred. There is a waiting list of over 
 sixty. The dining rooms will be remodeled and 
 enlarged and other improvements made. 
 
 In such matters as the McKinley memorial 
 fund, the erection of a Cincinnati building at the 
 South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposi- 
 tion, to be held at Charleston, S. C, and otherpub- 
 lic undertakings, the Club responds liberally, in 
 order that Cincinnati may be properly represented. 
 
 The social side of the Club has developed since 
 the occupation of the rooms in the Pike building; 
 but this side of its life has not caused the abandon- 
 ment of the basic idea, — ten meetings a year for the 
 consideration and discussion of questions relating, 
 directly and indirectly, to the welfare of Cincinnati. 
 Those meetings give the key to the meaning and 
 purpose of the Club. The noon -day lunch, the 
 daily chat, the occasional dinner cement friendships, 
 but the monthly meetings cut out the real work. 
 Without them, the Club would be like any other 
 business association, large or small, that meets at 
 lunch. With the formal monthly meetings, with 
 the prepared addresses or papers, comes the serious 
 consideration, the careful planning, that makes the 
 Club one of the foremost organizations in Cincin- 
 nati for the accomplishment of good to the city. 
 
 65 
 
The original articles of incorporation, filed by 
 Mr. Sommerfield and his associates, set forth that 
 the purpose of the corporation was: "To promote 
 the best interests of Cincinnati." That purpose, 
 early expressed, has been steadily and faithfully 
 adhered to. It is expressed in the motto the Club 
 has chosen for itself: "Cincinnati, first, last and 
 all the time." Other organizations have for their 
 purpose the promotion of commerce or manufac- 
 turing, the protection of shippers or tax-payers, the 
 development of special lines of business, the secur- 
 ing of conventions, or the discussion of economic 
 and civic subjects, or the beautifving of the citv bv 
 works of art. The Business Men's Club occupies a 
 field of its own. "I think nothing relating to human- 
 ity foreign to me," the old poet said. The Business 
 Men's Club thinks that nothing which tends "to pro- 
 mote the best interests of Cincinnati" outside its 
 sphere of action. It desires to see monevspentaswell 
 as money saved. It is in hearty sympathy with every 
 efifort, organized or unorganized, to promote com- 
 merce or manufacturing, to secure conventions and 
 develop the resources of this great city. Its mem- 
 bers are members of other organizations. But in 
 The Business Men's Club they have organized to do 
 whatever will do the greatest good to the greatest 
 number of the citizens of Cincinnati. 
 
 Is there need of an organized efifort to secure 
 cleaner streets? That efifort is within the province 
 of The Business Men's Club. 
 
 Will a trip to Lexington tend to help Cincin- 
 
 nati's trade, through the promotion of friendly inter- 
 course and the establishing of new relations? The 
 Business Men's Club goes. 
 
 Are Tennessee editors to be entertained? It is 
 The Business Men's Club that is glad to meet the 
 strangers and do the rites of hospitality. 
 
 Is a large Sxngerfest debt to be lifted? It is 
 The Business Men's Club that organizes a plan, and 
 carries it through to successful issue in thirty days, 
 after all other efiforts had failed. 
 
 Is "The Philopolist" to be put into general 
 circulation? The Business Men's Club secured the 
 publication and free distribution of 7,000 copies. 
 
 Is it annexation that is engaging the public atten- 
 tion? The Business Men's Club sends into the field 
 the ablest and best equipped champion of the 
 movement. 
 
 Is it parks that Cincinnati desires? The Busi- 
 Men's Club inaugurates the movement which 
 results in the passage of the Park bill. 
 
 Isitbetterdrainage,betterventilation in thepub- 
 lic schools that the welfare of the children of the city 
 demands? It is The Business Men's Club that speaks 
 for the business men and business interests of the city. 
 
 Is it a revival of the expositions that is talked 
 of? The Business Men's Club organizes a Fall 
 Festival which recalls all the attractions of the old 
 exposition and adds new features which draw to the 
 city a hundred thousand visitors, and is so decided 
 a success that the second Cincinnati Fall Festival is 
 undertaken in 1001, with even greater success.

Take the recent work done by the Club for 
 the lease extension. The proposition had scarcely 
 been approved by the Sinking Fund Trustees 
 when the subject was taken into consider- 
 ation bv the Southern Railroad Com- 
 mittee of the Club. The favorable report 
 of the committee and the adoption of the 
 report bv the Club was the first 
 formal support given by any organ- 
 ization of the city. The Club did 
 notstophere. The reasonsforthe 
 action were set forth 
 in a terse, strong way, 
 and then distributed 
 throughout the city, the 
 Club bearing the whole 
 expense. Nobetteridea 
 of the work the Club 
 engages in can be given 
 than this report afifords. 
 The committee say, after 
 reciting the terms of the 
 two propositions: 
 
 "The several reasons 
 why the measure merits 
 oursupportare because: 
 
 " 1. Under the pres- 
 ent lease we have re- 
 ceived an average rental from October 12, 1881, to 
 October 12, 1901, of $997,500. Under the new 
 proposition we will receive an average annual rental 
 
 -/? suburban fountain 
 
 from October 12, 1901, to October 12, 1966, 
 of $1,126,923. An annual average increase 
 of $129,423, without taking into consideration 
 the additional rental to be paid on 
 account of terminals in Cincinnati 
 and betterments required by the 
 lease. 
 
 "2. The average annual rental 
 provided by the new lease will yield 
 6.15 per cent income to the city on 
 the original cost of the road, $18,- 
 300,000; if the bonds be 
 refunded at 3 per cent, 
 there will be an annual 
 saving and net income 
 of3.15percenton$18,- 
 300,000, or $576,450. A 
 liberal amount should 
 be reserved annually to 
 retire outstanding 
 bonds and still leave a 
 handsome balance to 
 apply to a reduction of 
 the tax levy. 
 
 "3. The bonds for 
 terminal facilities are to 
 be issued to improve the 
 property of the City. 
 " 4. The Cincinnati, NewOrleans&Texas Pacific 
 Railway Company will pay additional rental suf- 
 ficient in amount to pay the bonds and interest. 
 
 6? 
 
" 5. The measure will therefore not increase tax- 
 ation, but will materially reduce same. 
 
 "6. The money will all be expended in Cincin- 
 nati by the Board of Trustees. (A board whose 
 integrity has never been questioned.) 
 
 "7. Terminal facilities in Cincinnati will supply 
 a long-felt want and will complete the enterprise so 
 courageously undertaken. 
 
 " 8. The extension nowwill insure the refunding 
 at a low rate of about $8,000,000 7 fV per cent bonds 
 of the City of Cincinnati due July 1, 1902, issued 
 for the construction of the Cincinnati Southern 
 Railway. 
 
 "9. The increased rental and the lower interest 
 rate on bonds will certainly lessen the burden of 
 taxation. 
 
 " The entire proposition for the modification and 
 extension of the lease will be presented for the 
 approval or rejection of the qualified electors at the 
 next regular election, on November 5. We recom- 
 mend the endorsement of the proposition by The 
 Business Men's Club, and sincerely hope the mem- 
 bers will support same at the polls, not only by their 
 
 votes but with their influence upon those not familiar 
 with the question." 
 
 The committee was composed of Charles A. 
 Hinsch, Samuel E. Hilles and C. G. Kingsbury. 
 
 It is constructive work, not destructive criticism, 
 that The Business Men's Club believes in. Its 
 inspiration is a deep, continuing belief in this city 
 and its future. It draws to itself all who share that 
 belief. It spends time, thought and money to make 
 the city attractive to its own citizens as well as to 
 strangers. Itbelieves the cityhas the right to expect 
 such service from all. It is a new and organized 
 body in Cincinnati which gathers to itself those that 
 believe public spirit is a living duty and not a polit- 
 ical catch-word. It was born of the generous enthus- 
 iasm of youth. It has grown to be what it is through 
 the abiding convictions of mature manhood that 
 Cincinnati is worth working for, — and working hard 
 for. In nine years it has grown from an active mem- 
 bership of ten to one of nearly nine hundred. It is 
 a force that must be reckoned with in the move- 
 ments and problems of the future.

 ilxcixxATi was the 
 birth-place of the ex- 
 position idea. The first 
 one given in the United 
 States was held here. Those 
 that came afterwards were in 
 the line of natural development. 
 They trained up a bodv of men 
 who understood the management of expositions, — 
 how to organize them, how to make them attractive. 
 It was because of this training that when the first 
 great exposition of the republic was given, — the 
 Philadelphia centennial, in 1876 — the directors 
 came to Cincinnati for their director general. They 
 found him in the person of the president of the 
 Cincinnati exposition. The soundness of his ideas 
 was recognized when that marvelous display of 
 industrial development opened new vistas and possi- 
 bilities to the American people. No city contrib- 
 uted more to the succcess of that undertaking than 
 it did, in furnishing the general who thought out 
 and carried out the broad plans and thousand details 
 of the mighty display. 
 
 After 1888, the Exposition idea languished in 
 Cincinnati. Perhaps the older hands that had been 
 bearing aloft the torch had become tired; perhaps 
 new and fresh enthusiasm was needed. At any rate, 
 in the spring of 1900, The Business Men's Club 
 
 undertook the work which the generation before it 
 had laid down. They organized a Fall Festival 
 Association, all the directors of which were members 
 of the Club. If the work was new to them, they 
 nevertheless boldly grappled with it. They secured 
 cooperation. They interested the newspapers. 
 They laid plans on new lines. They evolved a Fes- 
 tival. The old Exposition continued thirty days; 
 the Festival lasted but ten. Some of the old features 
 were abandoned; new ones were introduced. The 
 city, which was, at first, apathetic and indifferent, 
 was aroused with enthusiasm as feature after feature 
 of daily panorama of industrial growth and activity 
 was developed. In the Trades Parade and the 
 Flower Pageant the work culminated. 
 
 When it was all over, it was recognized on all 
 sides that a new force was visibly at work. One of 
 the papers spoke of the opening exercises in Music 
 Hall as ''showing a latent sentiment that was stirring 
 Cincinnati as she had not been stirred in many years; 
 a determination has been awakened to take advant- 
 age of this start, and forge ahead by everybody 
 lending his help and contributing his mite to show 
 the world that Cincinnati is greater, richer, more 
 progressive than ever before." Another paper said: 
 "The people of Cincinnati are beginning to realize 
 in more ways than one the institutions that are in 
 Cincinnati that only needed the touch of enterprise 
 
 12?

to call them into action." It was true that Cincin- 
 nati began then to find herself. "It astonishes the 
 people themselves, and the hundred thousand people 
 that came here from a distance are amazed at the 
 enthusiasm displayed," a newspaper said. "We 
 beg to of¥er our sincere and unqualified congratu- 
 lations," said one of the daily papers, "to every 
 person who has had anything to do, directly or indi- 
 rectly, with the Fall Festival, and especially the 
 Floral Parade. It has never been equaled since the 
 days when the great expositions were the glory of 
 Cincinnati. It has remained for the young business 
 men of this generation to set anew the pace." The 
 Chamber of Commerce, "believing it eminently 
 proper to give recognition to those who have carried 
 into execution, and to successful conclusion, the 
 plans to awaken local and outside interests in the 
 affairs of the city," gave a banquet in its great hall 
 in honor of those who had organized the Festival. 
 The same spirit again manifested itself in 1901, 
 when the work of the second Cincinnati Fall Festival 
 was enthusiasticallv undertaken by President J. Stacy 
 Hill and the Board of Directors of the Fall Festival 
 Association. This year efforts were made along 
 even broader lines than before. The use of Wash- 
 ington Park gave much needed additional space, 
 and when connected with the Exposition Buildings 
 by an arch over Elm street, made possible a greater 
 variety of exhibits and a more inviting maze of enter- 
 tainments than has before been enjoyed in the city. 
 The constantly increasing throngs of visitors, coming 
 
 from within a radius of hundreds of miles, showed 
 full appreciation of "The City Beautiful," and her 
 mammoth stores and many industries received a 
 fresh impetus that was extremely gratifying. 
 
 The Industrial Parade and Flower Parade 
 received only favorable comment and the gorgeous 
 Night Pageant called for unlimited praise both from 
 visitors and citizens. 
 
 The streets of the city adjacent to the exposition 
 grounds were nightly ablaze with innumerable elec- 
 tric lights arranged in arches and festoons aggre- 
 gating many miles in length, and with the electric 
 fountain and other attractions, reminded those who 
 saw it all, of childhood's dream of fairyland. 
 
 The excellent engravings but faintly portray 
 the artistic eflfects of light and shade and delicate 
 tinting of the flower-covered chariots, floats and other 
 vehicles. Strikingly picturesque 
 and beautiful designs representing 
 various industries, were seen in the 
 Industrial Parade, only to be fol- 
 lowed by as elaborate or richer / 
 effects each succeeding moment. | 
 
 The various parades reflectedn 
 great credit on the Queen City,;! 
 her Fall Festival Association, pub-i' 
 lie schools, organizations and 
 outlying villages, merchants 
 and manufacturers and on the 
 Cincinnati Southern Travel- 
 ing Men's Association. The

 Order of Itannicnic presented a spectacle in the 
 Night Pageant never to be effaced from the mem- 
 ories of over half a million citizens and guests of 
 Cincinnati. 
 
 It is impossible, in this volume, to do justice to 
 the Fall Festival displays, pageant or parades. The 
 pleasing detail of it all would require hundreds of 
 full page illus- 
 trations. The 
 In dust rial Pa- 
 rade was inter- 
 esting and in- 
 structive, and 
 the Flower Pa- 
 rade was most 
 generously ap- 
 preciated. The 
 weird effects 
 shown in the 
 Night Pageant, 
 with its tens of 
 thousands of 
 moving irides- 
 cent electric 
 bulbs, lighting fantastic floats from thirty to over 
 one hundred feet in length, were startling. The 
 moving tableaux of Aladdin and His Lamp, Tales 
 of the Sea, The Great Itan, The Dragon, Cow that 
 Jumped Over the Moon, Cinderella, The Bow of 
 Promise, Prince of Pleasure, Elks, Jack the Giant 
 Killer, Sleeping Beauty, The Old Woman Who

 Lived in a Shoe, and numerous others, could not 
 receive adequate mention in this mere index to the 
 feast of eye ofifered to Cincinnati's guests. 
 
 The only shadow that can dim the memory of 
 so wonderful an extravaganza, is that which falls 
 from the promise of the Festival officers for 1902, 
 to surpass what has been done. If this be possible — 
 
 and much is 
 possible in The 
 Queen City — 
 then indeed is 
 the conviction 
 strong that in- 
 dustrial and 
 commercial 
 Cincinnati will 
 receive even 
 greater impe- 
 tus next Fall, 
 through the 
 presence of 
 hosts of more 
 than s a t isfi e d 
 visitors. 
 
 The work done in 1900 and 1901 was the visible, 
 public expression of the motto of The Business 
 Men's Club, — "Cincinnati, first, last and all the 
 time." It showed that the public spirit which, in 
 1870, was strong, uplifting, was still here,lonly 
 awaiting to respond to calls. The Festivals showed 
 that the power of initiation was not dead.
