his great republic, as well as upon their
native city of Frederick.
In the early days a ceaseless flow of
commerce between the East and the then
known West passed through the city and
county of Frederick over the old Ma
iOnal Pike. In the march OF progress
he ''prai.ie schooner" gave place to the
hOrse-drawn railway car. which the
steam train soon succeeded, and this in

Its slogan, TIE live wire OF the State, I"
has meant much for Frederick, the thir /

each year the march of progress and de-
velopment has been greater until It is
said that Frederick pushes ahead by
leaps and bounds. and does not stride
