Steady Growth, Until....

So far, Betterfeld has been experiencing some very steady growth. Historians are seeing no declining line in any kind of population. As of 1894, the population of Betterfeld is 384. With those new residents, new commercial buildings are filling the center of the village. Though most are used automobile lots.

In the month of September of 1894, the citizens approved and built the first major landmark of any village. A church. The village decided to use some extra funds to build this rather than a town hall because it was more cost effective and the church can also be the meeting place of the village council for the time being.

The construction of the church made Betterfeld more desireable to live, so major growth was stimulated. The residential side of the village has almost doubled in size. (With housing lots still for sale by the way 2.gif)

That's all for now....But wait, what's this? It looks like a factory. The Industrial Revolution has come to Betterfeld.

The church is more cost effective.   Does the town get the tithes?

I like the angle of the factory picture.

Very nice. I really like your subtle introduction of industry. That's something that I've always struggled with, and you've definitely helped me out!
