A city is being built! It is the new city of Longview, Washington, located in the heart of the abundant resources of the great Pacific Northwest—a city strategic —in relation to rail and water transportation—where rail and water meet. —in relation to the almost untouched resources tributary to it. —in relation to the limitless territory it can serve. —in relation to the industrial opportunities it presents. —in relation to the grandeur of its scenic environs, its climate, its healthfulness. ° To industries, these alone are significant distinctions worthy of great consideration, but Longview offers more. Longview—‘‘the city practical’’—conceived by business men, designed, from the ground up, by engineers and expert city planners, is profiting by the experience of other cities that have grown without plan. Longview offers —jdeal industrial sites fronting on the Columbia River, with its ocean-going commerce to all leading ports of tl¥e world. —adequate switching facilities and is served directly by these three transcontinental railroad systems: the Union Pacific, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern. —a scientific, expertly planned retail business district, residens tial districts, parks, boulevards, modern sewerage system, pure water and electric power. Longview was chosen by The Long-Bell Lumber Com- pany—a corporation with assets of 75 million dollars—to be. the home of its largest. lumber operations. Its mills, when completed, will have an annual capacity of between 400 million and 500 million feet of finished lumber products. As the first important manufacturing’ industry in Longview, The Long-Bell Lumber Company alone will employ fron 3,000 to 4,000 men when the mills are com- pleted. The population of Longview, based on the Long- Bell operations alone, should be between 15,000. and 20,000: The city plan contemplates a population of 50,000 within ten years, See Longview for yourself—see a city of steel, brick, concrtte and wood, growing out of what, a year ago, was a valley of fertile farms and blooming orchards. See- Longview’s modern 6-story hotel, its civic center, its con- struction force of 1,500 men, its great temporary docks. Include Longview in your summer tour of the wonderful Pacific Northwest.
