inducements and Advantages Of
cred to Manufacturers, Investors
and Capitalists for the Location
of Industrial Plants.

The Business Mems Association of
Frederick has issued a neat book
let illustrative of the vast re-
sources of our beautiful city
and county with its vast fields for
commercial industries and place
suited to home-seekers and business
men. The Introduction says:
"To manufacturers, investors, cap
italists and home seekers this booklet
of facts about Frederick is presented,
with an espscial solicitation of their at
tention to those paragraphs treating of
the kinds of industrial enterprises like
ly to flourish here; the city's fine and
healthy location, its liberal induce
ments in the matter of tax exemption
on manufacturing plants; cheap land,
abundant raw materials, good homes,
intelligent labor, pure mountain water,
electric lights, transportation facilities,
excellent markets and hospitable COM
munity.
1t is firmly believed that a new era
has daWned in the commercial and in
dustrial progress of Frederick, and in
furtherance of the Development of the
city's interests the Business Mems AS
ISOLATION has been organized. 1t in
vites correspondence with investors
seeking sites for the location of factor
les, with manufacturers seeking change
of location for their present plants or
to establish branches, and to settlers
in search of homes in healthy local
ity where thriving people already ex-
ist. 1t will be glad to render all the
aid in its power in promoting and per-
fecting their plans" q
The book then goes on to give bis
torical description of Frederick, tells OF
nails of the past and what it is to-day;
describes it's beautiful location, the
many thriving towns near by and goes
on in exhaustive detail until the end
is seemingly reached. 1t would take
a much larger volume to do Justice to
the field chosen for this curtailed de-
scriptiOn, but enough is put down to
show the advantages Frederick has TO
offer manufacturers and business men.
Frederick is not "boom city" but
townof solid and substantial growth and
has been the theme of song and story
for century and a half. Her advance
ment has been steady and each year
new concerns employing her people in
trades aud manufactures are started,
nearly all of which have endured and
prospered. But we can support as
many more and it is the purpose of
this handsome little publication to
show Frederick to the world in pen
pictures as she really exists in the flood
tide of usefulness and commercial pros
perity.
The Business Mems Association
have done their work we'll and the in
dustIial results their efforts shall
achieve will be owing to their energy
and iudefatigable perseverance. Ev-
cry one should lend hand towards
making Frederick the commercial CEN
ire of Western Maryland.
