lilMtfBi
Hertforil CoaiiLy today, as it joins in celebrating tlie progress of one of its com
munities during the past half a century, is a fertile, fruitful territory where the heri
tage of the past opens the door of opportunity of the present and for the future. Out
of its past there has been developed public and private institutions for the service of the
present which justify the confidence and pride of the industrious and intelligent citi
zenship which has built them. Churches, schools, roads, and public institutions for the
health and welfare have been created through the willingness and cooperation of a
people of sturdy pioneer stock, rooted and anchored in the fertile soil of this favored
land. The advantages of fertile soil, natural resources of forest, field and stream, with
abundance, of sunshine and rain in a climate ideally suited for both agriculture and in*
duslr\', out of whiidi the progress of the past has been made, are permanent resources
which invite the investment of capital and energy wdth an assurance of profit and hap
piness.
