The experiences of the pioneers who lighted civilization’s tirst fires in this land and who hewed their home from the primeval forests that covered the country, have been the subjects of continued interest to all students of American history, through the many years that have elapsed since the landing of to of our citizens, industries ssage of pluck, With the enthusiastic aid and co-operation and business houses of this section we are sending a me enterprise and achievement. It is our answer to t the persistent question that is asked: doing?” Our motto is “Full Steam Ahead” in practical effect, is the solid foundation of progress, conservation. Our county has great enthusiasm and great vision, but it has never in its splendid record of achievements deceived “itself. To- day it faces the future not by standing still, but by the inspiring spect acle of looking up and marching on, confident of power and strength, of the great ship of prosperity. An advancing army refuses to retreat. This section neither needs or wants any trenches, but a broad plain, be- yond which is the great dawn of the rising sun of prosperity, progress and happiness. We are not alone seeking commercial success, material progress and financial solidity, but a great deal more. We seek civie beauty, safety and the best fields for the joy of living, the inspiration of helpfulness, the enthusiasm of an unselfish public service, and an unbound- ed and ever-increasing devotion to the public welfare. Again, every department of civic and social life bas kept step in the march of confidence and progress. The homes of the county are more beautiful than ever; the civic helpfulness ana public spirit which have made the county famous are more active and better organized and more productive and more helpful than ever before. We have everything that other progressive American communities have and more. It has a heart; a great pulsating organism, always keep- ing step, in fact a little in advance of the sordid material march to bigger things. It is the heart of ambition and enthusiasm that, like stirring music, inspires and quickens the step of the rank and file. This is one of the big reasons why she today, neither boastful nor assuming false mod- esty, proclaims her achievements, her powerful position, her respectful self-confidence, her pride in the structure that she has created in “The Garden Spot of Pennsylvania,” armed as she has been with a great faith, a strong arm and a vision both clear and true. And this is not an idle question. Today it stands on the solid rock of conservative progress, perhaps stronger than any other community in this section of the United States. Our financial institutions have been pillars of strength and confidence, with a clean record from top to bottom through the smashing blows of financial depression and war. Can any section in the United States surpass our record? In reviewing the business firms in this edition we desire to impress upon the public that they are strictly in accord with the times and are getting back to normalcy.

The man who puts up a building that will endure really performs a double service, first to himself and, second, through conservation of our timber re sources, to the country at large, says the American Forestry Magazine.

In the return to normalcy there is no one institution in the county that contributed more as an important fac- tor than this well known automobile house. Placing the prices of their cars at below the lowest price ever re- corded on these products they are meeting with the approval of the public and have a patronage that is ever increasing. Demonstrated leadership not only on the highways but in the business and automobile world was proven when this company its sales agents throughout the country re- duced prices. Then there came other reductions and now with the final price making they have set a pace for other auto companies to follow. They are now down to bed rock in prices and it is again the old story of the Ford. And also the same story with regard to the majestic Lincoln. You must get your order in as to time. get your car at the right The people are responding to the call and orders are being booked all the time, so it is incumbent upon aH prospective purchasers to get on the list without delay. The Ford products including the touring car, the closed car, the road- ster, the commercial ear and the fam- ous Fordson tractor have proven their worth by years of continuous use. The public does not continue to purchase year after year products that are not value received. These products have answered the test of time and their great popularity has gress, What would our country be placed them far in the van of pro- without these products?

The world has recognized the fact that the “Lincoln” the famous Leland has produced the world’s highest class motor car.
