City vs. 

 Country 



F course, the wisdom of a city man's buying a farm 

 must depend upon that particular man's tastes and 

 talents. If he is an incorrigible "child of the pavements," 

 it would be folly for him to leave the city. He should 

 not allow any temporary enthusiasm to lead him away. 

 But if he is confined to the city through evil circumstance 

 or mere inertia if in his heart he yearns for open country, 



sky, birds, brooks, soft grass yielding under foot there 

 is no good reason why he should stay walled-in. There 

 are thousands of such men, who stay in the city as much 

 because they lack information of farming opportunities as 

 for any other reasons; and it is to point the way to such 

 as these that this booklet is issued by the Lehigh Valley 

 Railroad.
