COVINGTON
The Heme of Over 4000 Enter¬
prising and Prosperous People
Amid Surroundings of Culture,
Refinement, Educational and
Religious Advantages Equal
to Any City of Its Size in the
State.
Elements Which are Contribut¬
ing to its Importance, Both
Commercial and Otherwise are
Here Set Forth.
A Comprehensive and Carefully
Prepared Index of Some of the
Representative Houses in their
Several Lines.
Ti e object of this column is not
to give an extended historical ac
count of Covington, but rather to
call attention to the city as it is
to.I ay.
Amid surroundings of culture,
♦ du-ulional and and religious ad¬
vantages second to none in the
state, and as a favorable site for
inu n ufacturing of all kinds, Cov¬
ington stands pre-eminent, and if
one- half the writing that has been
dime in the past had but imper¬
fectly shown up these advantages
instead of giving fulsome praise to
individuals, there would not be a
MU gie favorable locality not occu¬
pied by some large plant or factory.
As it h the city i3 a leader in al¬
most • very branch of trade, as a
gLm v ut this page of cards will
show, and it may be truthfully as¬
serted that in all the elements of
progre«sivene8B and achievement,
in * citv of its size in the State can
show more more marked improve
m u n t.
Covington will soon have a com
pb-te water works and sewerage
system, the City. Council having
already called an election to vote
on same, and with her model
dwelling houses, wide streets and
cleanliness, Covington is and al¬
ways has been one of the health!ul
cities of the South and State.
Greater results with less efforts
are accomplished here than
where in the South; and with
markets filled to repletion with
be«t and purest food supplies
products of the earth, it
is a well worth in.
And her business houses, espe¬
cially those mentioned in this In¬
dex, are conducted by men whose
characteristics are such as to war
rant the usmost, praise. They are
all men who believe that what is
worth doing at all is worth doing
well. And this principle is fol¬
lowed m all their daily transac¬
tions. The writer would call es¬
pecial attention to the names which
appear upon this page, for they are
in every way representative ones,
and they are all contributing their
full share towards the future ad¬
vancement of the city, trying as it
were, to bind it to other sections
of the county with bands as soft as
silk and as strong as steel.
And, so to conclude, both the
capitalist and wage-earner are wel¬
come here; the former for the up¬
build mg of conditions, which are
el) attractive, and the latter, the
man of small means, the less
prominent worker, may himself,
by industry and frugality become a
forerunner in the race of material
development, and he is equally as
desirable a citizen.
there is nothing left out here at
Covington. Its all Enterprise,
with a capital E, and the writer
takes pride in the fact that he is
permitted to make brief mention of
Jit-r prominent business men and
other enterprise through these
