Some developing is going on in the County but on a very small scale as yet in comparison with the opportunities for profitable investment. Statistics taken from official Government reports, cold blood­ ed facts without semblance of padding or exaggeration, understated rather than over­ stated, show that Hastings Counity is wonderfully blessed with an abundance of nat­ ural wealth in mineral and other resources. Hastings County is rich with opportun­ ity for profitable investment in the development of the natural resources here, and is so easily reached by train or motor car that capitalists in the United States and Can­ ada need lose little time from business in order to personally visit this natural treasure house. Any information required will be furnished upon application to W. H. NUGENT, Counity Clerk and Publicity Commissioner, Belleville, Ontario, Canada.
