ALBION.
I   EAUTIFUL, healthful, industrial, educational. Albion-city of factories, schools, churches
and happy homes! The history of Albion dates back to a single log cabin in 1831. The
first frame house-still standing-was built in 1835. The following summer, the town
was platted. In 1844, July 4th, the M. C. R. R. was opened, insuring the permanency of the
town.   A village charter was obtained in 1855, and a city charter in 1885.  From the first,
Albion has had a constant, healthy and substantial growth; she now has an area of four square
miles, an assessed valuation of about $2,000,000 and about 6,000 people, mostly of English descent, the remainder-with few exceptions-being Irish and German.
Albion is situated on the Kalamazoo River, in the midst of a splendid farming region in
Calhoun Count'y, Southern Michigan, 95 miles west of Detroit and 189 miles east of Chicago on
the main line of the Michigan Central and the Lansing Branch of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroads; two well managed roads connecting with all trunk lines East, West and
South.
Two deep artesian wells, centrally located, furnish the water for the city's splendid system
of water works. The healthfulness of this water is shown in the fact that not a case of Typhoid
Fever has occurred in the families of those using it. Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria are exceptionally rare in this city.
The city is well lighted by electricity, and has a well organized and fully equipped fire
department. Not afraid of smoke, the city has encouraged factories till she has several of the
best and most important in the state. Among these are the Gale Works, manufacturers of plows,
drags, cultivators, rakes, etc.; The Elm's Buggy Co., manufacturers of buggies, carts, surries, etc.;
The Albion Malleable Iron Co., manufacturers of all kinds of malleable and brass castings, patterns a specialty; The Gray Iron and Brass Works, manufacturers of the patent compound lever
moulding machine, Gray iron and brass castings, hardware specialties, etc. Others are the
Albion Milling Co., The Union Wind Mill Co., The J. W. Brant Medicine Co. and The Rousseau
Harness Co.
It is said by travelling salesmen that Albion does more business than any other city of equal
size to which they go.




Albion has six newspapers, viz: The Evening Echo, a daily, The Recorder and The Mirror, weeklies, The Household Treasury, a monthly, the Pleiad and the Boomerang, college
papers. Albion has the free delivery mail service.
Albion's religious interests are guarded by the six churches whose buildings are shown in
this book, and her fraternal by more than a score of the best known secret societies that have
lodges here.
Three blocks east from Superior Street, on Michigan Avenue, stands the fine High School
Building, costing with the four ward buildings located in the cardinal quarters of the city,
about $65,000. In these schools over 1,200 pupils have been enrolled this year. Twenty-one
regular teachers are employed, also two special teachers -for drawing and music. Four new
rooms will be opened in September. Realizing the grave importance attending the results of
school life, the twelve grades or years of study are laid out with much care aiming at the training of the pupils faculties, instilling a love for study, forming the best character and preparation
for independent thought and investigation. The teachers are selected with special reference to
the grade in which they are to instruct. Particularly is this true in the Primary Department,
where a peculiar quality of skill is needed. The High School prepares for the University of
Michigan as well as for Albion College.
Albion College, founded in 1843 under the direction of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
occupies a beautiful site in the eastern part of the city. It is not a Theological Seminary, but
a college of Liberal Arts. Connected with the college proper is a Preparatory School, a Commercial School, a School of Painting, and as fine a Musical Conservatory as can be found anywhere in the West. Albion College is modern in method, progressive in principle and thorough
in work. No doubt, it is the foremost Christian College in the State. Included among her over
6oo students are young people from nearly every State in the Union as well as several from
foreign lands. The success of her graduates speaks the merit of Albion College.
Whoever would seek a business location in a thriving city; whoever would seek a beautiful
home in a healthy and pleasant city; whoever would seek an education under the most favorable conditions; come. We have room for you! We welcome you!
