The Oakland Board of Trade has pre-
pared letter setting forth the advan-
tages OF this section as an agricultural
community and is having printed at this
office ten thousand Of the circulars.
In the circular the Board mas the fol-
lowing to say respecting Oakland and
Garrett county:
Oakland, the county seat of Garrett
county. Maryland, is situated in mag
nificent farming country, and agricul-
ture being the true basis of all continu
ed prosperity, this industry alone could
support city of several thousand peo-
pie, where most crops of the temperate
zone are produced, where total failures
are wholly unknown. In addition To the
staple crops of wheat, oats, corn, rye,
potatoes, buckwheat, maple suger, hay,
ETC., this section Is a great apple coun-
try, and many varieties Of fruits, ber-
ries and vegetables grow with little at
tention.
Yet, these are by no means all the
advantages nature has so prodigally
bestowed upon this community. Right
at our doors are rich deposits of coal,
kaOlin, pure glass sand, fire and potters'
clay, an ineXhaustible supply of brick
and tile shale, the purest water on
earth, and great supply of water power
only waiting harness to illuminate this
mountain top, and supply factories and
electric railways with power.
Oakland is situated in the center of
plateau twenty by sixty miles in ex-
tent, two thousand eight hundred feet
above the sea, where it is never too
hot for comfort and never too cold for
convenience; America S ideal summer
resort; Americas greatest health re-
sort; where the drives are grand in
prospect and glorious in natures garb;
where new scene greets the vision at
every turn of the road. 1928, 600 is
being spent on state highways radiating
from Oakland.
Come to Western Maryland, young
man, and grow up with the country. If
you prefer to invest In agricultural
lands, or fruit lands you will find prices
ranging from five to fifty dollars per
acre, depending upon location and i'm
provements. These are attractive in
vestments without risk of loss. We
| also invite factories and industries of
all kinds, and believe that this location
offers the best advantages on account
of the abundance of raw material, cheap
fuel and accessibility to market.
When you consider that right here
within six hours of the nation s capital,
is country with almost unbounded re-
sources, with a variety of everything,
healthy climate, where hay fever and
many Of the ills to which the human
race is heir in less favored chimes, is
entirely unknown; a land of pure and
abundant water, a land Of churches and
schools, without any race or other veX-
atious problems, where the small in
weston along with the man of more
pretentious capital has opportunities
commensurate with his pluck, intelli-
gence and energy, of an equal start in
life, then you will readily concede the
Importance and correctness of the ad-
vice given herein.
