 Tl, LLEGAN, MICH. — Picturesque in every sense of the word. A prosperous little city of 
 j[{ .'5,UO0 inhabitants, situated on the banks of the beautiful Kalamazoo river, the county-

 ideal home. Our little city is beautifully situated, being surrounded by hills, and some of 
 the handsomest scenery to be found anywhere, as the many views in this book will prove. 
 As a Summer Resort Town, Allegan is fast coming to the front. A number of Resorts 
 are being established along the shady banks of the Kalamazoo — and well patronized. The 
 Inland Lakes, near our little city, together with the beautiful Kalamazoo River, furnish Hno 
 fishing and delightful camping.

 factories — and manfacturers desirous of making a change in their location, will find this an 
 ideal spot. Our people are courteous and generous, and whether bent on pleasure or business 
 you will always find the latch -string out, and a hearty welcome will greet you. Correspond- 
 ence can be had with any party whose narue ajapears in this book. The Mayor, City Clerk or 
 the Publisher of this B 'ok — all, and any ofI*thich, will receive very prompt replies.
