H R been m c about a Cod a o E E has u h said C pe , its s ndy s il and its
- ueer eo le . N ow am q p p , as a native born Cape Codder , I proud to th ink I can own this as my birthplace . I have done business in Boston
s m en with m en of e o with its bu iness , and the business Cap Cod als , and th ink I have had an unusual opportunity to speak of the merits of each . I used to have a wholesale confectionery business in Boston and suburba n
for m c m s som of t towns , and I had y usto er e the finest retail s ores
o e- f m c elegant drug st res , with their plat glass ronts , their agnifi ent soda f a nd m of th e c s — o ne ountains , so e best gro ery and variety store and m ! t c . would naturally say , Wha splendid usto ers you have But , alas There is so m uch style in the fixtures and the living of some of the
m oo f w S u m city people that , as a rule, so e p r ello pplying the with goods has got to be a good long waiter .
N ow t for m on God oo , I have raveled Boston fir s Cape I had g d
ft o trade , and never lost fi y dollars while on the r ute ; and I have done
on for m f ca n for th n o business the Cape ysel , and say a tru there is — c of t o wh o m o lass people , nor h , s uth , east or west , are re willing or
od o ready t o m eet their bills than the Cape C pe ple .
me m h irih ab Take a trip around the Cape with , and ingle wit the
ta c o m t e for i n ts . You will have a splendid va ati n , and ee a p ople who their sterling worth a n d honesty are n ot excelled by any people in the
