entrepôt

Northern Illinois filled rapidly with a thrifty farming population, and the town of Chicago became an entrepot.

From the situation of the country, the city of New Orleans had been our channel and entrepot for everything, going and returning.

The physical resources of this region are of such a nature and variety as to make Mackinaw city the entrepot of a vast commerce.

That we have a right to some spot as an entrepot for our commerce, may be at once affirmed.
