CURTIS BAY TERRACE, INCORPORATED, herewith presents the safest and best money-making 
 proposition in real estate today. 
 
 It is in the lots of this company, situated in the heart of the greatest industrial district of one of the 
 most prosperous cities in the most prosperous country in the world. 
 
 FACTS 
 
 The prosperity of the United States exceeds anything ever before seen in the world. 
 This prosperity will continue for years after the war ends. 
 The war will be followed by a great land and building boom. 
 Baltimore is in the very front of the prosperous cities of the country. 
 
 THE BALTIMORE MUNICIPAL FACTORY SITE COMMISSION, in a pamphlet published some 
 months ago, said : 
 
 "There seems to have been a sudden rush of outside capital to take advantage of 
 Baltimore's superior location. When it is recalled that the influx of new mdustries, 
 plus additions to the old ones- that is to those of over $250,000 capitalization— repre- 
 sents a capital outlay amounting to the big sum of nearly $100,000,000 for the past 
 two years, it can readily be seen that Baltimore's recent industrial advancement has 
 been somewhat phenomenal." 
 Since the publication of the above statement, many additional industries have located here. Among 
 them are three great shipbuilding companies with a combined capital, it is stated, of sixty-five million dol- 
 lars ; a United States Government Depot and Railroad and Steamship Terminal to cost $75,000,000, and a 
 $24,000,000 chemical company -ALL AT CURTIS BAY. See pages 35 and 37. 
 
 The portion of Baltimore showing the greatest prosperity and greatest promise is CURTIS BAY, 
 BALTIMORE'S TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. 
 
THE LANDS OF CURTIS BAY TERRACE, INCORPORATED, beautifully situated, almost sur- 
 rounded by the immense industries of Curtis Bay, with fine stone roads, good trolley service, splendid 
 schools and churches, electric lights and pure water supply, constitute the one great real estate opportunity 
 of the present day. 
 
 YOUR MONEY INVESTED IN THIS LAND WILL ALWAYS BE SAFE. IT WILL DOUBLE 
 ITSELF IN VERY SHORT ORDER. 
 
 If, after personally inspecting the land, a visitor is not satisfied, his expenses will be refunded. 
 
 THERE HAS BEEN LESS BUILDING IN THE UNITED STATES DURING THE PAST TEN 
 YEARS THAN IN ALMOST ANY OTHER TEN YEARS OF OUR HISTORY. 
 
 Because of the war, home and business building throughout the country has been practically suspended. 
 
 THE MOMENT THE WAR IS OVER, THERE WILL BE A RUSH TO BUILD the thousands of 
 homes and business structures this country will then so urgently need. 
 
 THE RAILWAYS OF THE COUNTRY WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE PRACTICALLY REBUILT. 
 This will include rails, ties, cars, locomotives and every other thing used in railroading, because the extra- 
 ordinary demands upon the railroads during this war are using up both trackage and rolling stock. 
 
 THE MACHINERY in the factories of the country is being used up the same way— most of it running 
 twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. 
 
 EVERY FACTORY, ship, wagon, truck, every item of every kind connected with the industries of 
 the country is running beyond its capacity. 
 
 These will all have to be renewed or replaced. 
 
 THE SHIPPING OF THE WORLD will require every shipyard in the United States to run full blast 
 for a dozen years or more after the war to provide ships to carry the ordinary commerce of the world. 
 
 All this will keep our country busy as a beehive for years. 
 
FOR THREE YEARS AND A-HALF, millions of men have been utterly destroying thousands of 
 millions of dollars worth of ships, buildings, machineiy, bridges, railroads, canals, wagons, autos, farm 
 implements, live stock, household furnishings, orchards, vinevards, forests, and every conceivable thing 
 used in a civilized community. WHEN THE WAR IS OVER, EUROPE WILL HAVE BEEN BURNT UP. 
 
 OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO RECEIVE a hurry call immediately after the war from every corner 
 of Europe, for supplies to help build those devastated countries. 
 
 EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE has been ransacked for supplies of every kind, including food 
 stuffs, clothing, coal, wood, metals, etc., for use in this war. 
 
 THESE COUNTRIES WILL CALL upon the United States to replenish their supplies in a thousand 
 different directions. 
 
 THE DIRECT RESULT of all this will be to keep the wheels of industry humming in this country 
 for years to come. 
 
 This country will have the men and money and the natural resources with which to begin re-building 
 and re-stocking the various countries, while supplying the great needs of our own people. 
 
 THE MONEY OF THE WORLD is in America now. It will remain here. The billions received by 
 the Government for Liberty Bonds and the billions loaned by our Government to the Allies are all expend- 
 ed here and will remain here. 
 
 AND THE THOUSANDS OF MEN who are going to help in this rebuilding, by working in the fac- 
 tories and the shipyards of Curtis Bay, must have homes somewhere near their work. The lots of 
 Curtis Bay Terrace, Incorporated, are the natural sites for these homes. 
 
 THE GREATEST CERTAIN SUCCESS plainly to be seen in the near future is in real estate in and 
 near Baltimore, situated close to the several wonderful industrial developments. 
 
AMONG THESE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS, two stand out above all others. Sparrows Point, 
 with its Bethlehem Steel Plant, upon which $50,000,000 is being expended, and soon to employ from 15,000 
 to 20,000 men, and CURTIS BAY, BALTIMORE'S TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR 
 INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT- SOON TO BECOME PART OF THE CITY OF BALTIMORE. 
 
 CURTIS BAY 
 
 THREE MILES FROM BALTIMORE'S CITY HALL. 
 
 WE BELIEVE the Curtis Bay industries, in the amount of capital involved, extent and value of plants, 
 number of men employed and to be employed, permanency and stability of the plants, and general 
 all-round value as an addition to a big city, cannot be equalled by any other similar-sized community of the 
 same age in the world. 
 
 At Curtis Bay are the following plants, all built recently or now building, with others now negotiating 
 for sites. (And bear in mind our property is within a few minutes walk of nearly all these plants. We 
 are encircled by them on three sides.) 
 
 UNITED STATES INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL COMPANY, through its subsidiaries, the Curtis 
 Bay Distilling Company and the Curtis Bay Chemical Company, established large plants in 
 the Curtis Bay section at a cost of over $3,000,000. 
 
 THE PRUDENTIAL OIL CORPORATION, a $5,000,000 company, built extensive oil refinery 
 at Curtis Bay, costing $2,000,000. 
 
 RASIN FERTILIZER COMPANY, a $600,000 company, important additions to plant, $500,000. 
 
 DAVISON CHEMICAL COMPANY, enlargements to plant cost $350,000. and refinanced with 
 a capital of $10,000,000.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME. 
 
 These industries at Curtis Bay employ between fifteen thousand and twenty thousand men. Most of 
 them Hve in Baltimore because there are not homes enough for them at Curtis Bay. They have to pass 
 our property twice every day going to and from work. They have to contend with delay in passing twice 
 each day, four different railroad grade crossings and one drawbridge, between their homes and their work. 
 Hundreds of these men will live on the land of Curtis Bay Terrace, Incorporated, before long. Baltimore 
 is badly overcrowded. City officials are now trying to find homes for twelve thousand men. The present 
 industries at Curtis Bay would give permanent employment to fifteen thousand additional men, if they 
 could get them— see letters of the Baltimore Car and Foundry Company, American Refractories Company, 
 and Standard Guano Company, on pages 19-23 and 29 of this booklet. 
 
 The extensions now being added to the present plants, and new plants and shipyards being built, will 
 probably require ten thousand more men within a year. With the developments along the shore of the 
 harbor, there will be more thousands of men needed within two or three years. These industries are per- 
 manent—not to stop work when the war ends. In fact, the ending of the war will give these plants the 
 extra men they need. See the letters on pages 19-23 and 29 of this booklet These men will find Curtis Bay 
 Terrace the natural place to live. 
 
 Baltimore recognizes that Curtis Bay, which is now just outside the city limits, is necessary to her 
 future greatness. She has been making extraordinary effort to extend the city limits so as to take in 
 Curtis Bay. The Baltimore daily papers, of November 7th last, announce that annexation won at the 
 election held November 6, 1917, so Curtis Bay should soon be inside the city limits of Baltimore. 
 
A great concrete bridge across the river, connecting Curtis Bav with Baltimore, has just been com- 
 pleted at a cost of $1,250,000. 
 
 Real estate at Curtis Bay, close to these great industries, must advance rapidly. There is little of it— 
 not enough to build homes for the men who will be employed there at the end of 1918. 
 
 We are offering these lots for sale to those sufficiently wide awake to know an opportunity when it 
 knocks loudly at their door. 
 
 WE SOLD MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED LOTS IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS, most of 
 them to big business men who came from other states especially to see the land and the Curtis Bay indus- 
 tries. (See the letter of Mr. D. D. Chidester, of Philadelphia, owner of extensive real estate interests 
 in a number of States, page 13.) 
 
 We have demands today for more than one hundred houses. As soon as war conditions pemiit, we 
 expect to see several hundred houses built on these lots. 
 
 With the opening of the real estate season next Spring, these lots will sell very rapidly and prices will 
 advance sharply. 
 
THE ADVANTAGES OF OUR LAND. 
 
 1.— It is three and one-half miles by trolley and by splendid smooth stone road from 
 Baltimore's City Hall. 
 
 2.— Stone roads on two sides of the property: a stone road on a third side will soon 
 be built. 
 
 3.— It is wonderfully accessible to all the plants, being only from one to fifteen minutes 
 walking distance from them. 
 
 4.— It slopes up from the plants to a height of one hundred feet above them, and over- 
 looks the plants, the harbor and the city. 
 
 5.— It is high, dry, and perfectly drained. 
 
 6.— It has all the comforts that go with both country and city— fresh air and plenty 
 of room, good trolley service (passing the door) to every part of Baltimore for one 
 five cent fare, the best possible water supply (artesian well) from a ninety foot 
 tower in the heart of the property. 
 
 7.— Electric lights. 
 
 8— A $40,000 school building (Grammar School and High School) on Church Street, 
 right at the centre of our property. 
 
 10 
 
9. — Four churches, three of them on our property. 
 10.— Sidewalks and shade trees will be added. 
 
 11. — Provisions in the deed restrict the land for use only as a residential neighhorhood. 
 12. — Titles guaranteed by Title Guarantee and Trust Company, of Baltimore. 
 
 Present prices of these lots range from $300 to $600. We expect to see many of them resold by the 
 present purchasers at from $600 to $1,000 during 1918. 
 
 We will be glad to furnish particulars upon request, and we invite personal examination of the property. 
 
 The photographs speak for themselves, but they do not begin to show the tremendous extent of the 
 very wonderful industrial development here, nor the ideal location of our property. The only way to fully 
 comprehend it is to visit Curtis Bay and see the plants and our land. 
 
 Money for Expenses Returned 
 if Not Satisfied. 
 
 WE WILL CHEERFULLY REFUND THE EXPENSES OF ANY RESPONSIBLE PARTY 
 WHO COMES HERE WITH THE VIEW OF MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN THESE 
 LOTS, AND AFTER PERSONALLY INSPECTING THE LAND, IS NOT SATISFIED. 
 
 11 
 
"DO IT NOW!" 
 
 If you want a lot or lots at pi^esent prices, upon which to build, now or later, or if you want to invest 
 your money where it is absolutely safe and certain to increase greatly in the near future, do not wait until 
 next summer when a considerable increase in values will have already arrived, but in the language of the 
 insurance companies, "DO IT NOW! " BUY NOW. THE PRESENT TIME, THE PRESENT PRICES, 
 AND THE PRESENT OPPORTUNITY WILL NEVER RETURN.

 Gentlemen : - ' 
 
 I have gone carefully over and closely inspected your whole 
 subdivision at Curtis Bay, Md., known as Curtis Bay Terrace, and 
 have thoroughly investigated the industrial and real estate sit- 
 uation there and your entire proposition. 
 
 It is in my best judgment the finest real estate proposition 
 I have ever seen during the more than twenty-five years of my ex- 
 perience in real estate operations. My opinion is that next 
 Spring and S\immer all these lots will easily sell at double the 
 prices at which you are now selling them. 
 
 I think so well of it that I have myself bought of your Com- 
 pany, over one hundred lota ( 113 lots to be exact ) . I feel sure 
 that the man who buys any of your lots, is certain to make big 
 profits. I regard it as the finest and best opportunity for safe 
 and profitable investment I have ever known. 
 
 Yours truly,

The map folded in here gives a perfectly clear picture of the present 
 boundaries of Baltimore city the most restricted in the world, considering its 
 population. And also the boundaries which will be made if the bill of the Non- 
 partisan Greater Baltimore Extension League becomes a law. 
 
 The present south boundary begins at the bottom of the west boundary, and 
 runs in a straight line to Claremont, from which it follows a circuitous course 
 until it reaches the shore of the Patapsco which it then follows, leaving out all 
 the great residential and industrial development at Brooklyn, Curtis Bay and the 
 other South Baltimore towns. 
 
 The new boundary lines would give to Baltimore all of the industrial and 
 residential developments left on the outside of the city by the present excessively 
 restricted boundary lines, as well as a number of smaller places not mentioned, 
 but appearing on the map. It also would give the city a limited amount of unde- 
 veloped territory for future expansion. 
 
 The map and statement of facts above were taken from the Baltimore "Sun" of September 18, 1917. 
 
 It appears from the statements in the Baltimore daily newspapers of November 7, 1917, that the voters 
 
 have approved the annexation proposition, and that Curtis Bay will soon be inside the city limits of Baltimore.

 THE WORLD'S LARGEST AND MOST MODERN COAL PIER

CURTIS BAY COAL PIER 
 
 The world's largest and most modern coal pier has just been put in operation by the Baltimore and 
 Ohio Railroad Company at its Curtis Bay terminal. The new pier, constructed at a cost of $2,500,000, has 
 a capacity of 12,000,000 tons of coal a year, or a maximum capacity of 7,000 tons an hour. It is electrically 
 operated and is capable of loading cargo and bunker coal into four vessels simultaneously. 
 
 The pier was designed by Francis Lee Stuart, formerly chief of the company, with a view to over- 
 coming the breakage, by conveying coal to vessels mechanically rather than by gravity. From the time 
 the coal is unloaded from the car into an apron, from which it passes by means of belt conveyors into the 
 loading towers at the end of the pier, the maximum fall is but three feet. Another feature of the pier is a 
 large concrete balancing bin into which the coal may be conveyed from the unloading machines even 
 though the filling of vessels be temporarily suspended, thus insuring a continuous movement of coal 
 through the yard.

 Gentlemen; 
 
 We are in receipt of your favor of the 5th inat. and 
 note that you contemplate building a number of honeG in 
 our section of the Curtis Bay district. 
 
 In answer to your questions, we would advise that we 
 emjloy about 1£5 men at the present time, and expect to 
 maintain the foroe at this number indefinitely. He expect 
 the end of the vmr to have very little effect on our 
 business, and if there is any change whatever in the number 
 of men enployed, it will be an increase, as during peace 
 times, ve import our material from Europe. 
 
 '.Ve have no idea how many men the Curtis Bay district is 
 short at the present time, but we have been xinable to get 
 more than ten per cent of our force from this district, where- 
 as it would be decidedly advantageous to us to nave them on 
 reach at this vicinity, especially as v.e operate £4 hours. 
 Our men tell us that it is Irepcssible to get homes in this 
 district, and that if they were able to get them, they would 
 be only to pleased to remain with us. 
 
 i.'e vjish you success in this undertaicing, and can cssure 
 you that a number of new homes would be of decided advantage 
 to us. "

 There probably will be many more of them in the near future.
