Sir. Alexander managed the towns of Jeannelte ami Char leroi, Pa and since August, 1897, has made a substantial success of the new manufacturing town ofMonessen, which he is still ing to the front. In his i i on 1'ord City, a a i a i a i lie says: fact sun oun i i scheme stamps it as one that is i i a and metitorious, a that i bring a a success to both present owners and future purchasets. With its location in the i fanning and i i section, by the enormous mills already located at that point, it. is perfectly safe to predict a population as large as Jeaunette or Char- within three years.

In a life-time of work of this kind I have never known of a town just like tUis, nnd with a population of 2,001) to 2,500 to beam with, I may underestimate the that is certain to follow."
