Do you realize what it means to talk of FlaveFs future in the terms of New York's present?
LISTEN
Last year the foreign commerce of the country was four billion dollars; NEW YORK DID TWO BILLION OF
THIS. IS THAT ALL? NO! NEW YORK because of tidewater location like FLAVEL, reached most easily by
railroad lines, is the LARGEST SEAPORT and MANUFACTURING CITY in the UNITED STATES transforming
raw into finished products for distribution inland and foreign export. This city has a population of about five
million people, over twice as much as CHICAGO, three times greater than PHILADELPHIA, seven times greater
than BOSTON and twelve times greater than SAN FRANCISCO ALL BECAUSE OF ITS STRATEGICAL
ADVANTAGES LIKE THE COLUMBIA HARBOR. '

HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFINE THE FUTURE
IN TERMS OF A DEVELOPMENT AS GREAT
-Flayel, from a physical standpoint, is about ideal.
-Its commercial position is all that could be dreamed of to create suc
cess. -It lies on an ocean side, land-locked, fresh water harbor at the mouth
of the second largest river in the United States, nearly 800 miles of
which, with its tributaries, is navigable.
-The Columbia River basin drains a territory of more than 250,000
square miles in the United States and an additional territory of
150,000 square miles immediately adjoining in British Columbia, all of
which is the most productive territory in the United States of a like
area.
-We are in one hour's travel of the open sea. .
-Our fresh water harbor is worth a thousand dollars to every vessel
that berths here for 48 hours.
-We are exempt of ice floes.
-We have the situation for 3000-foot right angle docks.
-We are 300 miles nearer any world port via the Panama Canal than
any port in Puget Sound.
294 miles nearer the Orient on a round trip than is the Puget Sound. .
846 miles nearer the. Orient, on a round trip than is San Francisco.
And last, but not least, we have a timber belt of 90 billion feet that is
directly tributary to this harbor, enough timber to fill returning cars
for a century to come and build a city of fifty thousand inhabitants.
New, York has ice floes costing the shipping world hundreds of thou
sands of dollars a year.
New York is further from the European markets than other cities on
the Atlantic Coast.
New York had no vast timber belt like ours to draw from.
New York is congested today for ample room for right angle docks,
demanded these days by the big steamship companies.
With these four great savings to the shipping world that New York
did not have, can you wonder that such men as the late Collis P.
Huntington said that the utilization of Flavel was inevitable?
Don't be one of those "I could have beens."
Remember that this is the last great world port to come into its own,
an opportunity we think you will never have again where prices are
so low and terms so reasonable.
