DEKALB COUNTY AND ITS TOWNS (Business Directory)

1895

AUBURN

Auburn, the county seat of DeKalb County, is located in the central part of the same, and has a population of about 3,300. It is one of the prettiest little places in Northern Indiana, and while it is not under city government, yet every citizen is wide-awake in keeping abreast with cities much its superior in size. Its streets and alleys are kept clean the year ‘round, and as the drainage is good the roads are seldom muddy. An electric light system makes daylight out of darkness, and the many excellent wells (some artesian) furnish the entire place with an abundance of water both for domestic and factory use. Auburn is one of the leading manufacturing towns for its size in the State, becoming famous by the many high-grade vehicles that are being turned out yearly. One thing that helps to make this a manufacturing town is its excellent shipping facilities, being surrounded by railroads that are direct routes to all parts of the United States. Branches of the Lake Shore and Wabash railroads pass through the city, while the main lines of the Baltimore & Ohio and Lake Shore can be easily reached, as they both pass through the county. The schools are governed by a corps of excellent teachers and board of directors. The business blocks and residences are a credit to the place. In short, Auburn is a hustling little place where anyone can find labor and plenty of opportunities to invest their capital in a profitable manner. KNOOP & Miner, Publishers

GARRETT

Garrett, the railroad town of DeKalb, is situated in the western part of the county. It is the location of the Baltimore & Ohio shops and the home of many a railroader. In fact this is about the only enterprise in the city, and as Garrett is not a prominent trading center the merchants depend upon the railroad men for their entire support. Garrett is over twenty years old and is now a very prosperous little city. The citizens are wide-awake and realize the value of modern improvements. A good system of electric lights are operated and controlled by enterprising citizens, and at a called election some time ago the people voted for waterworks and the construction of the same has just begun. The elegant stores, large churches and school buildings show that the town has and is enjoying the best of prosperity. No line of business is overdone and with the 3,500 inhabitants it stands first in population in the county.
