D. C.

There are today 600 factories in the District of Co- lumbia, employing more than 35,000 people, and representing an outlay ‘of nearly $80,000,000, which makes it possible for you men of southern dlaryland to get in the closest touch with one of the highest-priced mar- hets in the east. i _“Quick transportation is now avail= |able, at rates comparable with any, iand with the Washington business men | ready-and- willing to meet any reason- able credit arrangements desired, all that is left to cement this bargain is your willingness to show us your trade.” s “Garden. Spot of U. S.” Mr. Andrews referred to the south- ern section of Maryland as the garden spot of the United States, and con- cluded his address by predicting that the time was not far distant when the shores of the lower counties would be lined with summer homes of Wash- ington people. 5 Hearty assurances of increased trade relations from men prominent in the affairs of St.” Marys‘ county greet- ed the speaker's appeal.
