Ervin a collection of a dozen log
cabins stretching westward from
the Grand River to a city of 12,211
homes and hundreds of business
places in less than 100 years!
Such has been the growth of
lackson, the Hub of klichigan,
since the founding of the es mmun-
ity and the erection of the first un-
completed log cabin by Horace
Blackman in 1830. Since that time
the city has grown—not by booms
likely to burst suddenly like a
bubble, but slowly and steadily with
a sureness which has inspired the
confidence of all in its future.
But Jackson is not living in the
past; the present is only the pass-
ing moment and Jacksoniuns are
not content to restupon their pres-
ent laurels, but, with the spirit of
achievement which has carried their
city to a place among the loaders
in her class, are still working
toward the goal of a greater Jack-
son. Although 1926 was the great-
est building year in the city's his-
tory, the work of progress still goes
in with real estate, industrial and
business leaders predicting a steady
growth in the years to come.
As Seen by the Tourist.
The Jackson of the present as
seen by the tourist entering the city
from north, south, east or west, is
a city of 'saved highways, beautiful
homes and well kept lawns in which

district the tourist is given a closer
view of the many attractive build-
ings, including the 11-story Rey-
nolds skyscraper, the imposing
Hotel Hayes, the 11-story Consum-
er s Building and the II-story .lack-
son City Bank Building, now under
construction, not to mention num-
erous others which help to place
Jackson at the hp in the business
world. Continuing on his way,

further impressed by the our of pro-
gress tend activity which settled
over the city years ago and which,
instead of growing lighter, becomes
niore intense with the passing of

Perhaps less notice is taken of
the city's growth by its own citizens
than by the outsider who conies
hers at intervals, fur the outsider,

From out of the past comes the
Old Mats who left Jackson ts. See
the world 50 years ago and whose
pressing business, activities pre-
vented the carrying out of his oft-
repeated desire to visit the town of
his birth until 1927, when we find
him with several others Occupying
a seat in an automobile speeding
eastward along M-17. He remelt'•
lien: the Siliall tOW11 with the cow
pond on Milwaukee street, the old
:nen fishing from the Grand River
bridge on East Michigan avenue
and he eagerly looks for the pond
on which the youth of his slay
skated at the corner of Michigan
Avenue, West, and First street.
Instead of a pond he first ob-
serves a beautiful r•sidenor street
stretching ahead eastward and his
automobile speeds along too the
right of a street car track. The
dwellings, set in artistic lawns,
grow more imposing and there is
no sign of the skating pond for
Which he so eagerly searches with
his eyes. Finally, one of his com-
panions who has been here before,
points out First street which, to
the Old Man's amazement, is a
paved thoroughfare and lined with
dwellings as far as the eye can see.
"This isn't Jackson!" the Old
Man says indignantly as the auto-
mobil• turns westward on Wild-
wood avenue and he be-hoists the
construction work on the huge new
high school. But no one pays any
attention and the auto speeds past

cenies to the city limits and the Old

And as the automobile moves
slowly along, passing paved thor-

the city's streets, several of which
were paved with woolen blocks
when he left, niust be improved
with brick or asphalt, the Old Man
is conscious of a feeling cf 50 years
