Um gfame Lancaster City, at the turn of the half century, illustrates a charming combination of the old and the new. Quaint farmers' markets, center of the Garden Spot of the XXf'orId, reveal cheerful relationship between city housewives and rural folk. The oldest tobacco shop, hardware store, and depart- ment store in the nation contrast with modern shops and fiveland-tens, Few sections of the country enjoy such economic balance as Lancaster, industrial payrolls being approximately the same as farm incomes. Lancaster is famous as the home of the Amish, Mennonite, and Dunkard religious sects. These sturdy Pennsylvania Dutch, who are good, thrifty farmers, are largely responsible for the county's ix impressive crop production. Situated among rolling hills, covered bridges, old mills, and stone farmhouses, Lancaster's farm- ing countryside is the seat of many famous his- torical landmarks. The most prominent, XWheat- land, marks the home of james Buchanan, who was the only citizen of Pennsylvania to become President of the United States. North of the city are the Ephrata Cloisters, founded by the Seventh Day Baptists. The birthplace of Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat, is located in the southern part of the county. The Red Rose City lives, however, in the present rather than in the historic associations of the past. It is a thriving community which has preserved the rich heritage of the past.
