MARYVILLE
A Good Place To Come
A Better Place To Stay

Maryvile, Tenn, is recognized as the best
place in the State in which to live. Why?
Because of its superior educational advantages
headed by Maryville College, with a student
enrolment of 1000. City schools we'll equipped
and Polytechnic High school private institu-
ton of the highest standard.
Because of the location of the Aluminium
Company of America, the biggest enterprise in
the south, The Babcock Lumber Co.. owning
and operating the model plant of the south,
with numerous and varied other interests, all of
these together with the development of an i'm
mense water power, should convince any one
that no mistake would be made by investing in
this High Glass Residence Property.
