Michigan Jackson
It is a source of pride to the citizens of Jackson that, not only has the city been built up by the industry, enterprise and ability of its business •men, but that all there is of individual wealth in the hands of its people has been accumulated by them since they have been residents of the Central City.
The property in Jackson, both real and personal, is held almost exclusively by men who came to it at an early day without capital or other .aid than that derived from their own personal qualifications, and their success has been the result of years of patient labor, devotion to business, and the establishing of such good character as enabled them to acquire that confidence at home and abroad which ensured the success of their undertakings. It is particularly worthy of observation, and more worthy ¦of reflection, that Jackson has been built up so successfully because the business men have always kept their accumulation actively employed in ¦business in such manner as gave employment to others, instead of investing them in bonds and mortgages, or depending in any manner upon usury as a means of success in life. The business men of Jackson have been borrowers rathers than lenders of money, and have depended upon the profits of their business, and not upon the increase arising from usury to add to their wealth.
