THE INDUSTRIAL TITAN OF AMERICA 



405 



It seems like going 

 back into an earlier 

 century to visit the 

 cloisters of Ephrata 

 and Nazareth ; it ap- 

 pears passing strange 

 to see the Amish Men- 

 nonite, with his tail- 

 less coat and broad- 

 brimmed hat, on the 

 streets of progressive 

 Lancaster ; it s u r- 

 prises the visitor to 

 Allentown to hear 

 well-dressed, up - to- 

 date people, from 

 court officer to manu- 

 facturer, talking 

 Pennsylvania Dutch ! 



Yet millions o f 

 America's best farm- 

 ers inherited their 

 command of the soil 

 from such ancestry ; 

 from such simple folk

 governors of States, 

 many jurists, a galaxy 

 of educators, etc. The 

 Pennsylvania pietist, 

 in his ascetic way, has 

 done his bit in mak- 

 ing his State what it 

 is — and his part in 

 shaping the bone and 

 sinew of the nation.

 of Independence was written ; that the 

 disheartened colonists were reorganized 

 for victory at Valley Forge, and upon 

 which the Constitution of the United 

 States was proclaimed.

Her magnificent highways and the eye-filling scenery of such re- 

 gions as the Delaware Water Gap have an irresistible lure for the 

 pleasure-seeking autoist. 



It was from Pennsylvania that the men 

 came who shed the first blood in the Civil 

 War, and at Gettysburg the tide against 

 disunion was turned, under the leader- 

 ship of a Pennsylvania soldier. 



When America threw the weight of its 

 power into the balance in the Armaged- 

 don of liberty in Europe, Pennsylvania 

 was in the van of those ready for action. 



No other division in France, outside of 

 the Regular Army forces, was earlier in 

 the fray than the Twenty-eighth, made 

 up largely of Keystone troops. With
