GARRETT COUNTY
BOARD OF TRADE
Plans to Develop a Greater and More
Prosperous County.
"In union there is strength. 4"


"a strong pull and pull altogether"
brings results.
The organization of the Garrett Coun-
tY Board of Trade has for its object the
very largest and most 2uccessful devel-
opment of the entire county, from
Bloomington to Friendsville, from Sang
Run to Kitzmiller; from Crellin to
Grantsville.
The movement means a greater Gar
rett county. 1t stands for more tan
nerles and more extensive manu1ac-
turtles and the opening of our coal
seams. 1t also means the development
of the sand, clay and other mineral pos
sioilities of the county.
1t seeks to attract pleasure seekers
and summer vacationists to this noun
tain summit and the establishment
of great prosperous resort region.
'See Switzerland, the beauties of
the old world" was the ambition of
the vacationists of the days gone by.
The Board of Trade will try to tell
the general public about the magnifi-
cent drives, amidst the most charming
and delightful picturesque scenery of
this wonderful mountain region.
The half of the beauty and grandeur
to be enjoyed in the mountains of Gar
rett county has not been told or de-
scribed.
There are unknown and enchanting
beauties of nature to be discovered. The
roads of the Eighth election district
abound in magnificent outlooks.
The coal industry of the county has
not been developed. Untold wealth lies
hidden in the hills. Wealth of coal, of
sand for glass, of clay for brick and
tile, of lime stone for fertilizer. The
mining industry of Garrett county is
vet in its infancy.
There are openings all over the coun-
ty for wide awake. progressive farmers,
for stOckmen and for gardeners and
through them for canning factory.
Our forests are tull of opportunities
and possibilities, just waiting for the
men who do things, and these men who
do things are waiting to hear about this
great big. wonderful Garrett county,
and its inducements to capital. brain
ald bTa%n
They have been waiting, but. alas!
there has been no effort made to tell
the story. Is it not time to do some
thing to put Garrett county on the map?
To let our light shine? To awaken our
slumbers and be up and doing.
The Board of Trade is a medium
through which the outside world may
be reached, the information sent forth,
and we. ourselves aroused to action.
We appeal to Garrett CONTAINS to
rally to the standard of the Board of
Trade and strengthen and sustain it in
its efforts to develop greater Garrett
county.
