NO DRIFT TO CITIES
SMALLER AMERICAN TOWNS ARE PROGRESSING ESTATE AGENT’S ASSURANCE ‘ ,r pHERE is a decided drift from the larger centres to the provincial towns. The people are moving west all the time.” Mr. W. J. Bartling, a real estate agent of St. Louis, Missouri, who is returning to the United States on the Makura, paints an alluring picture of the prospects of the growing towns of the American central and midwestern States. Instead of the problem of the cfrift to the cities being present, the people are creeping out to the country centres, he says. “This may be attributed partly to the vastly-improved and now wellnigh perfect means of communication, partly to the attractiveness of these towns, and partly to the high and increasing land values together with rural prosperity. St. Louis has a population of 800,000 and it is still growing.”
