A BUILDING Railroad Freight liates Kept Low by Biver Com= petition EVANSVILLE, INDIANA THE subject of this booklet is a city situated on the north banks of the beautiful Ohio river, above all high-water marks, almost at the cen- ter of the population of the United States, half way between Louisville and Cairo. The Ohio river — one of the greatest waterways in the world — connecting a section of country unpar- alleled in fertility and teeming with the varied products of all climates. The climate of Evansville is the most even and agreeable, having sufificient cold in winter. for health, and comfort, and a summer heat tempered by the cool breezes from the northern lakes and the humidity of the river valley. The wonderfully advantageous location of this city is a sur- prise to those not informed on the subject, and this booklet will seek to give, in the exact terms of truth, guaranteed by the Association by which it is issued, some of the points which will be of value to those who are interested. Reiver". Evansville is a splendid distributing point, with cheap river freights, keeping the railroad rates low in competition. The river is in good shape for business nearly the whole year, with very little inconvenience from low water or ice. The river business is steadily increasing, and Evansville has the best of service with packet lines to Louis- ville, Cairo, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Memphis and New Orleans, besides the Tennessee, Cumberland, Green and Wabash River Packets.
