LPHIA - PHILADELPHIA was founded 236 years ago. William Penn, the founder of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, laid out its beginnings in the wilderness and named it Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. TODAY Philadelphia has a population of nearly 2,000,000, with an area within the city limits exceeding the combined areas of Boston, Cleveland and Baltimore. Philadelphia is truly a city of homes, having more single residences than any other city in America, eighty-five per cent of which are owned by their occupants. PHILADELPHIA, in the number of banks, immense mercantile and manufacturing establishments, and in the earnings and savings of its people, stands first among the cities of the United States. Philadel phia is "The World's Greatest Workshop." With one-sixtieth of the population, it produces one-twentieth oi all the goods manufactured in the United States, PHILADELPHIA has long been noted as one of the greatest educational centers of the country. The Univer sity of Pennsylvania, founded by Benjamin Franklin, and other universities and colleges, as well as our medical colleges, are attended by students from all1 parts of the world. Philadelphia was the first city in America to lay out a pleasure ground for the people, and now has the largest pleasure park in the world. THE REASONS for Philadelphia's extraordinary growth and reasons why industrious, ambitious mechanics and workers in every branch should come to Philadelphia and why those who are here should stay here will be set forth in a series of pages to follow in this newspaper.
