BALTIMORE DIRECTORY-1921


The citizens of Baltimore spent $10,000,000 on its harbor before asking Con- gress to spend any, and is preparing to spend $50,000,000 more, and, as stated above, has voted an improvement program of $51,000,000, and to all this must be added a budget of $30,000,000. Baltimore has passed the billion mark in wealth and is matching the best on earth in its expenditures for growth and service.


RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION


Baltimore is the home of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Its administrative offices are here. Its tracks practically encircle the city. Its freight facilities are second to none in the country, and it reaches out with connections in every pos- sible direction.


Two of the most important divisions of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company converge in Baltimore and make it easy to ship to any possible point covered by the entire Pennsylvania system. The company maintains division offices and ex- tensive terminals in Baltimore. Its numerous export and domestic elevators, storage warehouses and terminals are of the usual excellent type. A number of modern piers afford every facility for the trans-shipment of the company's traffic North, East, South and West.


Baltimore is the main terminus of the Western Maryland Railroad, which is closely affiliated with the great New York Central system.


The Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad has 78 miles of trackage through the very rich farming country of Baltimore and Hartford counties in Maryland and York county in Pennsylvania.


RAW MATERIAL


No city is better located to secure advantageously its raw material. There are fine water connections with the Southern States along the Atlantic Coast. These are sufficiently near to make lumber, cotton, naval stores and all the miscel- laneous raw materials of that section readily accessible at low transportation costs. Moreover, the rail connections with that section are excellent, with freight rates favorably affected by water competition. In reaching forth into Pennsylva- nia, Ohio and other States of the Middle West Baltimore enjoys a pronounced differential which enables her to secure her raw material from those sections promptly and at costs below any Atlantic Coast Competition. Baltimore is ex- traordinarily well located when it comes to transporting raw material from Cen- tral America, South America or Europe. A fine harbor, a fine channel, cheap terminal costs, swift movements of cargoes altogether make possible the land- ing in Baltimore of raw material at costs that defv competition on the part of any big Atlantic seaboard city. Petroleum comes from Mexico and from the Southwest; dolomites and limestone are very close; copper smelting on a large scale is here; steel, tin and black sheets are part of the city's output.


RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ADVANTAGEOUS


The industrial and commercial advantages of Baltimore are happily supple- mented by its residence facilities. There are many cities which claim the title "City of Homes," but none of them with more justice than does the Maryland metropolis. Tenements are practically unknown ; Baltimore is a city of individual dwellings. There are, of course, many apartment houses in the city and its en- virons and every year sees a substantial addition to their number, but Baltimore does not possess the same distinction in the construction of multi-family abodes as it does in the erection of private dwellings.


Of late years these houses have been, broadly speaking, of two classes, the suburban dwelling, ranging from a modest cottage to a really palatial residence, and the two-story brick dwelling. The three-story house in rows that was for years the standard domicile in Baltimore is very seldom built now.


RETAIL TRADE


The retail trade in Baltimore is in an especially healthy condition. There is a spirit of co-operation among merchants, inspired and led by the Retail Bureau of the Merchants & Manufacturers' Association. The city has a large number of big department stores and an exceptionally fine list of "specialty" shops from which purchasers can satisfy their wants at prices which compare more than favorably with the average price level of other cities. Baltimore is the magnet

of a large number of "shoppers" from Washington, lower Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Virginia and the Carolinas. A fine variety of wares, plus the abil- ity to make quick and dependable deliveries, make the city a very desirable market.


Fine automobile highways, electric and steam railway service and a far-reach- ing series of steamboat lines help to bring into the city thousands of out-of-town shoppers and, at the same time, make possible quick deliveries of the various goods purchased.


SEWERAGE SYSTEM BEST IN COUNTRY


Baltimore's sewerage system is said to be the finest in the country and has cost the city $23,500,000, and when entirely completed will cover 1,100 miles of sewers. The system was not developed gradually, but was an entirely new undertaking, embracing two divisions, the sanitary sewers and the storm water drains. The staff of the chief engineer was organized January 1, 1906; active field work started January 15, 1906; actual construction began October 2, 1906. The system comprises many miles of sewers and drains ranging from the six-inch house connections to a great outfall sewer 29 feet in diameter.


SHIPPING BY TRUCKS


In addition to the excellent railroad service provided by the Baltimore & Ohio, the Pennsylvania, the Western Maryland, the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis, the Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad systems, Baltimore is meshed in with Maryland's nationally famous good roads system. These roads radiate in directions which lead right into the finest imaginable jobbing territories. The perfection of the roads makes possible the linking up of Baltimore, through the operation of automobile trucks, with hundreds of good buying towns which otherwise would be inaccessible. The trucks give Baltimore a commanding ad- vantage over her rivals. Besides the railroads and trucks, all parts nearly of the State of Maryland and large portions of Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro- lina, Georgia and Florida are servedby direct and frequent boat service from Baltimore.


TRANS-ATLANTIC AND COASTWISE STEAMSHIPS


There are 55 steamship lines here regularly engaged in trans-Atlantic and other foreign trade, while many tramp steamers and sailing vessels make Balti- more a rendezvous. Eight local companies operate steamers in the Chesapeake Bay and coastwise trade. Hundreds of sailing and motor vessels are owned and operated in the vicinity of this port.


WATER SUPPLY


Baltimore derives its water supply from a 2,000,000,000-gallon capacity res- ervoir at Loch Raven in the Gunpowder River Valley, a few miles northeast of the city. From Loch Raven the water is pumped to the filtration plant at Lake Montebello in the northeastern part of Baltimore. This plant, which is one of the largest in the country, is of the mechanical filter style. After filtration the water is treated with chlorine as a further precaution. The city water rate is 65 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. Pressure ranges from 45 pounds to 110 pounds per square inch in the city main, with an additional high-pressure system for fire protection in the business section.


Many Baltimore industries obtain their water from artesian wells on their own property, as excellent water comparatively free from scale-forming sub- stances can be secured with little lifting. About $25,000,000 already invested in the water works system and the recent loans voted on in the election of Novem- ber 2, 1920, $15,000,000 additional has been provided.


WIRES IN UNDERGROUND CONDUITS


Baltimore claims the distinction of being the first large American city install- ing a system of municipally owned conduits for the reception of all electrical wires. To this work $5,000,000 has been devoted. Work on the conduit system was begun in 1898, and over 15,000,000 of duct feet have been laid. The poles and network of wires are no longer a menace or eyesore.

THE MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERERS' ASSOCIATION.


One of the main functions of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association, which is the Power House of progress in Baltimore, with 2734 members, is to pro- tect and promote the welfare of the factories ALREADY IN BALTIMORE. While the Association is active in the mission work of. bringing new concerns here, it realizes that the main essential to the prosperity of any city is to help up- build and expand the industries it already has.


Their success is of equal, if not superior, importance to the introduction of new enterprises. Their success, in truth, is the best advertisement with which to attract new industries.


For that reason the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association specializes in making itself useful to local factories. Its Civic and Industrial Bureau makes itself active in miscellaneous directions, helping the various manufacturers in their big and little problems. In tax matters, municipal matters, public service matters, labor matters, transportation matters anl hundreds of other matters, the Associ- ation is at the beck and call of its members.

The publishers take this opportunity of thanking the Merchants and Manufac- turers' Association and the citizens for the valuable assistance rendered in the way of furnishing information concerning themselves and their business for this Direc- tory ; also the public-spirited and progressive business and professional men for the support given in the way of patronage.
