A Revelation to Detroiters

"THE JEWISH CHRONICLE" advises All Readers
to Study Carefully This Statement of Local Facts

)1,

.rr-HE keenest thinkers and best informed men in Detroit declare that this city is approaching

1- 11-11 one of the greatest periods of prosperity in its history. To the man who seriously considers
his own welfare, who may have been somewhat uncertain of the future and of what it holds for
him, undecided whether or not to go ahead and follow the normal course of life, investing his earn-
ings and broadening his interests, this is indeed an important 'statement. These are momentous
times and, perhaps, there are some who have labored under,a misconception of the facts as related
to Detroit. An analysis of conditions in Detroit at the present time reveals remarkable facts that
should prove most interesting to Detroiters: facts that should open up a new field of vision, present
a brighter perspective of the future and, perpaps, work a favorable change in the fortunes of many

Here Are The Facts:

tog

'41

ETROIT, in its Metropolitan Area, has passed the mil-
lion mark in population. Detroit has fought her way
.11 upward toppling over nearby contenders until now'
1,111Y Ihre • other American eitlea are larger. Just think
oi achievement- and it has all be••ti done in the past few
years. In this growth countless opportunities have arisen and
the people have profited from them.
Detroit has actually amazed the world by her progress. This
city is the modern Industrial miracle. Industry is the very foun-
dation upon which Detroit ix banded. It is the call of industry
that has brought hundreds of thousands of people to Detroit. It
Is Industry that will continue to bring them here. It Is industry
that gauges the prosperity of every workingman In Detroit be-
call,e the Job and the pay is the most vital consideration in ev-
ery 1111111 . S afTairs. Therefore we must analyze industry.
Before the United States entered the war Detroit was at the
height of prosperity; local Industries were 'numming night and
day. Then Uncle Sam called us Into service and we began to
manuOieture materials fur the government. The city's future
grew even brighter. By the time the armistice was deviated De-

D

Dolt industries held more than a billion dollar's worth of Naar
orders
'('his amount equals approximately the total manufac•
tured satput of Detroit in 1916. To fill these orders new fac.
wiles were built and thousanda of new jobs created, Vast sums
of money were spent to enlarge Detroit's Industrial capacity.

Wages are at record height. To Insure the success of De-
troll's future Industrial plan a greater number of workers than
ever before must be brought here. This means that Detroit's
business must be greatly increased to take care of the newcom•
erg, that thousands of new homes must be provided and that the
city in every respect roust enlarge proportionately with the lit-
creased population. It means many, many more things than
can be written In this limited space, but the results will be ineas-
tired in millions of dollars.

Every individual in Detroit will reap a proportionate part of
this prosperity. The big point is the fact that this industrial
peace activity is to he permanent and that every worker is as-
sured employment for an indefinite period. Every mall, there.
fore. should face the future with confidence. Bankers amt menu-

facturers, the men who have their millions Invested, say that
the permanency of this industrial activity is assured. With
the cancellation and completion of war orders there will be
more work than ever before in the task of filling the vast
amount of business emanating from normal sources and •hIcn
will have accumulated in the meantime.

Pages and pages could be written about Detroit's varied in.
dostries anti the great rate at which they are growing. Every
step forward in industry means news jobs and more prosperity.
Detroit positively is in the most enviable position of any city
if1 the country and when other cities are 'standing still Detroit
will he going forward. This it is the mark of destiny. Detroit
cannot stop 110•—she has passed that point. Statistics on the
various phases of Detroit's business and industry give indisput•
able evidence of this city's pre-eminence.

Detroit's growth Is haled upon Industry, Increased industry
means a greater population, a greater city and increased oppor-
tunities,

The answer to all of this Is PROSPERITY.
