After having lived here in Baldwin
county Is years, 1 have this to say in
favor of it's climate and possibilities:
1 have travelled nearly all over the
United States and parts of Canada and
have never seen a section of country
anywhere that 1 would trade this coun-
ty for, as a place in which to live and
make an easy living and take comfort
all the year round
The health of this county cannot
be equaled anywhere l have ever seen.
The climate and water will benefit al
most any person suffering from any
human ailments, in addition to enjoy
ing the comforts of the most glorious
climate on earth.
The soil is so easily built up with
legumes as to astound the most skep
teal.
l have made lis round trips be-
tween Chicago and the South and the
more I see of both sections the more
l think of the South.
Small places handled right will yield
more net income than in any other
section of country, consequently a man
with small means can start home

FINANCIAL NOSES
TURNED SOUTH
WHAT GOLFERS WEEKLY HAS
TO COMMENT ON THE SITUA-
TON IN THE SOUTH.

Financial noses are keen. Just now
they are turned toward the South.
With a population of 5000, 900, the
South now has invested in business
about ss4 600, 900 more than the whole
United States could show in 1880; the
value of the South's crop Tow exceeds
the value of the crops Of the whole
country as late as 1890: and its coal
products last year amounted to two
and q half times the coal output of
the United States in 1890. Go almost
anywhere in the South and you feel
self confidence which is based upon
figures. They talk big down there"
said an Investigator. but they tell the
truth" He showed some figures which
did indeed talk big. In the six months
ending May first, wholly new water
power projects, with total capitaliza-
ton of more than 5000 000. 000 have
been organized. They will ultimately
develop 1,500.0 900 horsepower. Their
financing is looked after by bankers in

which is especially fortunate for the
bank.
Born and raised in Bay Minette, he
knows the people and the country
thoroughly, and is thoroughly capable,
therefore, of taking care of their f1nan-
cial affairs.
He is president, also, of the City Ice
and Power Company, and booster
and developer right.
Mr.. Stapleton is now, and always
has been, a firm believer in Bay Mi
nette and Baldwin county and his
connection with banking institution
of the calibre Of the Baldwin County
Bank is most fortunate.
Bank is Successful.
Successful from the start, the Bald
win County Bank has been a most ad-
mirable business venture.
Organized with a capital of $4,000
in 1902, 1t has succeeded in increasing
its capital to $4,000 out of its own
earnings. and now has a surplus OF
$4,000, besides paying a ten per cent
dividend yearly.
All kinds of farming and business
ventures have always been encouraged
by the bank. and its assistance has
been given in more than one project
of interest and value to Baldwin
county.
The capital and surplus of the Bald
win County Bank is $4,000: the de-
posits are $1S7. 900. and the total re-
sources are $230.0o0.
Particular attention is given to
farmers; new accounts are invited
upon the banks merits for strength
and superior facilities, and the past
policy and ample resources of the
Baldwin County Bank are it's guaran-
tee for the future.
The future. indeed, of Baldwin coun-
ty and the Baldwin County Bank, are
irrevoca bly, linked

crops here in Baldwin county. Sweet
potatoes by the hundreds of car loads,
with a good market all over the coun-
try. Corn fields galore, which yield 50
bushels per acre and more sometimes.
Stock ranging in the woods as round
as dollars. This is the best dairy
country in the United States and no
doubt about it. And market for the
products superior to any to be found
in the North or West.
There is no better poultry country
to be found anywhere and fine market
right at home at big prices.
Life is too short for me to try to
enumerate all the advantages pos
sessed by Baldwin county, Alabama,
over anything to be found in the North
or West. Let others try II out as I
have and, my word for 1t, the more he
investigates and the longer he tries
out the country and climate the more
he will think OF it, especially IL he
makes a trip back into the North and
West and sees what they have to con
tend with up in that one crop country
