t'ls it emigration or immigration
aeents?"
. " We are emigration agents. We un
dertake to find people who want to leave
old countries to better their condition
in new countries. We confer with and
co-operate with your immigration
aeents but we are emigration agents.
"You look for people in all , parts of
the world who want to move, and when
you find a restless spirit you recommend
the new locality?
"We of course take any business that
comes but we make a specialty of bean
dmavian and German business. We
never try to colonize. We recommend
to individual families that they pur
chase this farm or that and that they
become Americans at once. I believe
in amalgamation of the superior races.
I came to this country my sell as an
emigrant and became at once an Amer
lean. I find it a pleasure to help others
of what were my fellow-countrymen to
improve their conditions.
"What do you think of Charlotte?"
"Give me your card and send me
twenty-five copies of your paper. Char
lotte is the best town we have seen in
the South and we are going to send
some people to you here."
"What makes this enthusiasm?"
"Your public roads alone are a guar
antee that this is a leading town and a
leading section.
"The roads are not alone what we see
here. The farming land looks inviting;
your industrial development is the best
we have seen ir the South. ' The.eity is
as prosperous looking as any we have
seen In the Northwest, where we are
accustomed to look for enterprise and
