Come to Bay Minette" should be

to feel the welcoming spirit Of the
people almost as soon as you step
from the L & N.
Everyone works together in a COM

tell you that this very cause is greater
and better Bay Minette.

who say what they mean, and mean

Bay Minette people, too, have plenty
of fine material to talk about when
they tackle the subject of their splen-

"Old" Bay Minette dates back from

followed the civil war, marked with
tries that were to accomplish so much
in establishing the South on a new
and frmer financial basis.

effect to place the work Of city build

When Baldwin county began its
phenomenal development as a farming
section, produce began pouring into

The farm trade grew to be reckoned
with by some OF the city's best and
Invest merchants: prosperity came and
remained with the good people OF

churches in the city, and five denomi-
