A City of Progress and Prosperity.
It is not necessary to tell Cadillac people that Grand Rapids is almost an ideal place for enjoyment, that its citizens are generous and hospitable and enterprising, that it is a city of wonderful progress and prosperity. All this is a matter of general knowledge here, and it is further known to many, which we did not realize until after a drive through its streets and avenues and suburbs, that the comparative number of its handsome residences, beautiful lawns, pleasant drives and picturesque views are not surpassed by even the most coveted cities that make a specialty of aestheticism and beauty, rather than of enterprise and industry, as does the famous Valley City. -Cadillac News and Index
