QUINCY, ILLINOIS, is very properly known as the "Gem City". It was settled in 1825 by Governor John
Wood, and to-day counts her population at 40,000. Naturally beautiful, it stands proudly on the toj of
a high bluff, and looks down one hundred and forty-five feet upon the "Father of Waters", the grand old
Mississippi, which shimmers by. Much of its beauty is due to the constructive ingenuity of Mr. John Batschy, the
architect, who has given us those beautiful residences in Park Place, besides the Gem City Business College and
many other handsome public and private buildings. Baldwin Park has become a feature of Quincy, and is already
well known. The Soldiers and Sailors Home, built by the State of Illinois, at a cost of several million dollars, is a
magnificent institution, and gives friendly shelter to over a thousand veterans.

Quincy contains over four hundred industrial enterprises, the largest one probably being the foundries, which
have an annual output of over 120,000 stoves. Electricity is used quite extensively here: Street cars are run by
it; the city is lighted by it; many factories prefer it to steam. The railroad facilities are very good, being an
important junction point for three lines of the great Burlington Route, which runs thirty-four passenger trains in
and out of Quincy every twenty-four heurs. One of its lines runs East and West, and two North and South.
