Michigan

Jackson

Without the knowledge attained by actual experience, it is impossible to realize the changes which have taken place in Jackson, in Michigan, in the Northwest, and in the Great West, extending to the Pacific Ocean, during the business lifetime of a man even now in the midst of his usefulness. No succeeding generation will be able to look back upon •and realize the wonderful growth of an empire, and the spread of a civilization in their own time as can Mr. Thompson in contemplating what he has seen grow up under his own observation since he came to Jackson in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-one.
