DOBSON Executive Offices: 20 W. 34th Street, New York City LONG JSLAND-"The Sunrise Homeland" 7 LONG ISLAND N Long Island, within an area of 1682 square miles (larger than O Rhode Island, and almost as large as Delaware), live four millions of people--nearly one-third the total population of the State of New York and fifty per cent of the population of New York City. Here on this Island is 30 per cent of the assessed real estate valuation of the Empire State. Here are busy factories, thriving towns, pleasant villages and fertile farms. And here is one of the great commercial centers and seaports of the world-the Borough of Brooklyn, with its 2,240,000 people-famed for industry and world shipping, for homes and churches, for educational and recreational facilities. To the east of Brooklyn is the fast-growing Borough of Queens, in whose pleasant towns and villages 1,000,000 people now find homes, still within the limits of the great City of New York. Here, directly across the East River from midtown Manhattan, a great center of manufacturing and commerce is building. Eastward from Queens is the suburban County of Nassau, with a population of 207,640, and abounding in thriving towns and beautiful home sites. And extending from Nassau to the far eastern end of the I island are the rolling fields of the County of Suffolk, with its 143,2.08 people. Towering high over the East River are the gigantic Brooklyn, Man hattan, Williamsburg, Queensboro and Hell Gate bridges, and beneath the river's bed lie seven great subway and railroad tunnels-throbbing arteries of travel between the great city and the beautiful island at its doorstep. The Long Island Railroad, with its 420 miles of lines covering the whole island, runs 1100 trains daily and carries one hundred million passengers annually-the heaviest commutation business handled by any railroad in the world. More than 1200 miles of asphalt, concrete and macadam Highways lead by different routes from
