@uwwearous, City

of today -and tomorrow

For the visitor seeking the many recreations
presented by a thoroughly modern city and en-
joyed in an atmosphere of progressive spirit, sin-
cere hospitality, and natural beauty, Minneapolis’
attractions are not surpassed by those of any city
= he world. And—it is the Gateway to Vacation-
and.

You may ride for hours along its tree-lined
boulevards, or meet your friends in the new Min-
neapolis Auditorium, one of the most modern con-
vention halls in the country. A group of ultra smart
hotels invites you to restful ease, while a few blocks
away you may view the giant flour mills at St.
Anthony Falls, which was discovered in 1680 by
Father Louis Hennepin.

City Has Eleven Lakes

No other city has eleven lakes within its city
limits, where devotees of outdoor sports may revel
in bathing, boating, canoeing, and sailing. A re-
tail shopping district offers you the products of all
countries shown in all of the modes and not far
away is the University of Minnesota, at once the
home of the nationally known Minneapolis Sym-
phony Orchestra and the University of Minnesota
football team.

Above the beautiful gorge of the Mississippi
River is Minnehaha Falls, famed in Longfellow’s
poem “Hiawatha’’-and located in one of the hun-
dreds of public parks. This progressive city with
its wide streets, fine homes, excellent school sys-

tem, and thirty-story buildings is only a few hours
drive from the pine woods and resort country of
the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Now Fifteenth Largest City

Steady progress has marked the advancement
of Minneapolis from a sawmill to a metropolis of
nearly half a million. ‘The population has never
failed to gain 22 per cent or more in any U. S.
Census decade. It is now the fifteenth largest city
in the nation.

Tomorrow—a million population, same natural
beauties, same hospitality of its people, added
modernity of atmosphere, and a greater mecca for
millions of visitors every year, MINNEAPOLIS,
City of Lakes.

Commercial, financial, educational, and cultural center of the Northwest. @
