SHE people of Cape May County can well take pride in its unique history, its ancient beginning, its location, physical characteristics and i its incomparable future prospects. Its geographical lines are nearly the 6ame as when it was created two hundred and twenty years | ago. The county is one of the few on this continent that has existed for over two centuries. The lines defining the territory of this county prove it to have been begotten , .e, Wti a Peldn8u)a cashed by the surging tides of the ocean and the bay, making a smooth, enticing and dominating handle not only to the great state erf which she has the good fortune to °2 a PO^kal member; but to the vast territories of that gallery of mighty commonwealths which compose the heart of the great Republic, and whieh pay the tribute of their appreciation to the nescnea or tape May County by sending many thousands of their citizen* annually to breath the saline air and lave in the dashing ■urf of her shores.

Isolated by salt waters and vast forests for two centuries from the a vie organisation aa a County, the limitless capacity for the productjon of wealth was unsuspected ; just as for ages the gold *?" ldden Bnd dormant . The historical fact that •nLST S™?rrd'y€a^B -1r(T ^ it* government' as a cottoty, Cape May attained only to a valuation of three millions, Wd the fact that since the close of those two hundred years, covenng only one-eighth of the preceeainfe period, the connty rushed on to the ratable value of nearly forty millions, bespeaks the dis^ei^faoireea. of wealth within its limits of which the people were utterly unconscious. will-1** l05ati0n* «<*»«<, the line of eqrml hegt end with -thirty millions of people within twelve hours of its doom; its pur* and tjjgo -atnggheiT chimgsd with the element, of reJoveomioD, its e lwadie' Wten! wtmfleee. people, 2S£R!tSKi?5?* . p,aaauM caa diVrt themselves f Aim «T..

District schools are found throughout the connty, organised under a county system which gives to each of them the benefit of approved courses of atudy. In the larger communitiea the cttttomary graded schools Bnd high schools are established, offering the befct school' ^ facilities ^Rssible. In the boroughs and citiea, domestic and manual training and other industrial courses are added to the general work.. There are approved lfigh schools in the county, available for every child who meets the entrance requirements. The buildings are of the most modern construction and are equipped with everything that is essential for the up-building of the best type of American men and women. County vocational schools in Agriculture, Domestic Art and Science and other subjects have been established and the school spirit of the county is not surpassed in its enthusiasm and pro gressiveness in any section of the country. THE GREATEST VARIETY OF PRODUCT Few counties have so great a variety of products as this and few of the farmers so many luxuries of the soil. But if one is toPtorvatiye ud prefen to rtay by the torn „ he hw known it, uie region offers him all the advantages he could ask. It is a mistake to think that general farming is not profitable here. General or diversified farms are many and the man who wishes to stay by the products which are necessaries and not luxuries, which have a sure demand unaffected by "dull times," can do well here on a much smaller acreage than elsewhere. The mild and the fertile soil, with perfect drainage, constitute the ideal conditions which have proven conducive to general farming in this vicinity. , The rapid growth of the numerous Sea Side Resorts which extend along the fifty miles of Cape May County's magnifi- I cent ocean washed strand, has made such, a great demand on the farms that there is no danger of over crowding this field, or indeed of ever meeting the local demand for yelte to come. The market is waiting, the prices are high, the conditions are all ideal for success and there is no reason why thousands more should not engage in this business with profit to themselves and to the county. The best apples, peaches apd pears grown anywhere are picked from trees in Cape May County. We cannot meet the demand for fruit. We need you. Meet this demand. Plant orchards and while waiting for your first crops, grow strawberries, tomatoes, grain, etc. Come and enjoy this wonderful county and lay aside a neat bank account each year. At Cold Spring, a farmer who had about three acres of ground that was not in use, decided to try peaches. He bought ■ i" une, ueciueu to iry peacnes. He bought

1,000 trees at $65, and at a cost of $25 planted the orchard. Between the rows of trees, he planted asparagus which sold at j twenty cents a bunch, making a fine profit. In the second and third years the orchard p*id for itself and the fourth year he cleared $275 an acre, besides the profit on the small fruits and vegetables planted between the rows. The peaches are of the finest quality and flavor and find a ready market in Philadelphia and New York, but the fruit growers are unable to meet the great demand of the local markets let alone the millions of people in the nearby cities. We want you; yon want us. If you have a little capital and some knowledge of froit culture, you will succeed in this connty, where the climate is right and irrigation little practiced owing to the abundance of rainfall., PHENOMENA!

One of the great factors in the social life of Cape May County is the number of social and sporting clubs. Each of the resorts' have their yacht clubs, with beautiful club houses and hundreds of pleasure and speed crafts. The golf links at Cape May, in the southern part of the county are among the best in the East . A number of the best Wn?, m the country use these links every season. The Tuckahoe Rod and Gun Club is sityated on the Tuckahoe Kiver in the centre of the county's famous gunning grounds and is one of the best known sporting clubs in South Jersey ' FUR INDUSTRY. All through Cape May County a large number of men are engaged in hunting the mnskrat which infest the streams and swamps of this section. This industry is one that is growing in importance owing to the fact that there is a greatlv increased demand for fnrs, and especially that of the muskrat, because after it has gone through the hands of the expert furrier, it is masquer: aded as seal, near seal and brook mink. These animals inhabit ^ wa'erls1rt'ams and the surrounding marshes and bulla their houses by hug-owing in the banks of the streams or where there are no nearby streams, they build of turf, water grasses or reeds, in very shallow water or marshv places. These houses rising three or four fret in height, in size and appearance much resembling hay-cocks. The trapping season extends from about November 1st to the latter part of March. Several methods are used in trapping these animals the pnneipal ones being the snood and the common I steel trap. Spearing and shooting are often practiced but have I a tendency to drive the mnskrats away. Other fur animals which are found in Cape Mav Countv are I ""T1 ^ rabbit- The hides" find a readv market and command good prices. tuckahoe. of a"rt diif"r of ■» <lw northern part fhe^rt " °"t j 1"rgest areas o£ oranberrv land, in of ,:?. , 7 Th??
