Excerpt from The Town of Harvey, Illinois, Manufacturing Suburb of Chicago, Aged Two Years
The Harvey Land Association presents its compliments to 100,000 readers.
In the following account of what has been accomplished during the past two years in the phenomenal town of which it is our pleasure to give some idea, care has been taken, from title page to finis, not to overstate in a single particular.
Mark Twain once said that the less he knew of a subject the better he could write about it, because he was less likely to be hampered by Facts.
Happily for us, the Facts in relation to Harvey are in themselves so wonderful that neither fiction nor rhetoric is necessary to make a story as interesting as it is instructive, and as profitable as it is both.
The truth is good enough.
