Cayuga County 1G1 



Improved Highways 



With the exception of an improved highway that crosses the 

 northern -part of the county to Oswego, all the improved highways 

 of Cayuga County lead directly or indirectly into Auburn. One 

 of these is the highway leading directly across the state and con- 

 necting Auburn on one side with Syracuse and on the other with 

 Rochester and Buffalo. A second leads north to Victory, branch- 

 ing at Cato on the east and at Weedsport on the west; a third 

 leads south and connects with the road crossing the southern part 

 of the state; a fourth leads south to King Ferry; and a fifth 

 leads southwest to Union Springs. 



There are in the county 110 miles* of completed improved high- 

 ways with twenty-eight miles additional under construction. 



AVAILABLE MARKETS 



Since it is favorably located on railroads in the central part of 

 the county, Auburn furnishes an excellent local market. Among 

 the well-known manufacturing establishments in this city is a 

 branch of the International Han-ester Company, also the Columbia 

 Rope Company, two large shoe manufacturing plants, and a 

 button factory. A state prison is located at Auburn. 



Other markets for farm produce, especially for small fruits and 

 vegetables, are Syracuse, Fulton, Oswego, and Rochester. 



More than one-half of the milk collected in Cayuga County is
