 State? 



Mr. George: Yes, in western Maryland. Not many on the 

 ■eastern shore. 



Mr. Gunckel: I wish to state I have to return early this 

 evening, and I would like to say that my home is at Toledo, 

 Ohio, and any time any of you gentlemen are stopping in that 

 little towm I should be very glad indeed to have you call and 

 see me. We have good fishing all around there and I will sur- 

 prise you how I can catch fish. You gentlemen who have 

 fished up in northern Michigan have your thousands of fish, 

 but when you come there I will show you how you can catch 

 fish where you can not see any, wiiere there are no fish.
