PHOTOGRAPHED AND ENGRAVED BY W. H. BRUMMITT. POST PRINT, Pontiac, Michigan, named after the celebrated Indian Chief, is the county seat of Oakland County, about 25 miles from Detroit. It has a population of about 8000, an increase of 2000 in two years. Pontiac is noted for its Carriage Factories, of which there are five, and their products are shipped from Maine to Mexico and even to England. There are also two Sulky Factories, one Wagon Factory, Carriage Body Works, Knitting Works, Iron Foundry, Wagon Bolster Spring Factory and numerous others pertaining to the building trades. All kinds of business are represented in Pontiac, and its merchants are noted for their enterprise and integrity. A failure is seldom known. There are three Banks, the First Commercial, the Pontiac National and the Oakland County Savings Bank. The deposits average about $1,000,000. There is a splendid system of water works, drawing its supply of pure water from a series of wells about 200 feet deep. Paid fire department, ably managed, protects the city, and a serious loss by fire seldom occurs. A good system of sewerage is being put in at the present time. The hotels are among the best managed in the state and are noted far and near for the excellence of the cuisine. Three railroads centre here: the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee, the Michigan Air Line, and the Pontiac, Oxford & Northern. There is a Methodist Episcopal Church, Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Congregational, Baptist, and other minor denominations are represented. Pontiac is perhaps the best lighted town in the state. There are two electric light plants and one gas works. The Eastern Michigan Asylum for the insane is in the city limits and the Michigan Military Academy is on the banks of Orchard Lake, one of the most beautiful sheets of water in the world. Oakland county has over 500 lakes ranging in size from three to four miles in length to lakelets of an acre. The most beautiful of these lakes are easy of access by the finest drives and Sylvan Lake, almost in the city limits, as its name implies, is indeed a sylvan retreat. There is a fine hotel and every facility for the enjoyment of summer sports and pastimes. The fishing is unsurpassed. It is connected with Pontiac by an electric railroad. Most of the lakes in the environs of Pontiac are lined with summer cottages and their banks fairly swarm with campers in the hot months. There are five weekly papers and one daily, the Post, Gazette (daily and weekly), Republican, Times, and Living Issue. The system of public schools is one of the best in Michigan. The High School was one of the first in the state to be admitted to the diploma list of the University for all courses and has ever since retained its high rank. There are six school buildings and another 4-room building is to be erected this year. The New Union is one of the best built, lighted and ventilated structures in the state. The beautiful Clinton River winds its devious course through the city and some of the above views are taken from its picturesque banks within the city limits while others are from the lakes in the immediate environment. Oakland County is the fifth richest agricultural county in the United States and is noted for its fine breed of horses and other stock of which there are some prominent breeders.
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

Various organizations and individuals expressed support for an Appalachian National Park. A movement for a national park in the Appalachians was spearheaded by Appalachian National Park Association, formed in 1899. The association raised public awareness of the issue, but disbanded before the formation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
