"Pennsylvania is forever,
We are tough as our steel, tall as our mountains,
rugged as our soil, resourceful as our people --
and there are none better in all the world.
We stand tall, we walk proudly -- as Pennsylvanians."
- WILLIAM W. SCRANTON
- Governor of Pennsylvania
|
- When you visit the Pennsylvania Exhibit at the New York World's
Fair, you'll see the above words. And you'll see a full-size
replica of the Liberty Bell which stands in Independence Hall
in Philadelphia. (If you're 16 or younger, you'll even be able
to ring the bell and you'll get a certificate to remind you of
your re-dedication to freedom and democracy.)
-
- You won't see, though, all the things that inspired Governor
Scranton's words, and that are making the New Pennsylvania
the nation's most exciting, dramatic, vital place in which to
live, work, travel and do business. For that, you'll have to
come to Pennsylvania.
-
- The New Pennsylvania has all of the wonderful warm
historic past you learned about as you were growing up -- Valley
Forge, Gettysburg, Fort Necessity, William Penn and Ben Franklin
and Commodore Perry and the patriots who pledged their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor at Independence Hall in
Philadelphia.
-
- And the New Pennsylvania has all of the gorgeous scenery,
the unique tourist attractions the unequaled opportunities for
play that make living and traveling in Pennsylvania a constant
joy -- the Poconos, the Pennsylvania Dutch country, the Laurel
Highlands, the Susquehanna River, Erie and Wallenpaupack and
hundreds of other lakes and streams, and the Endless Mountains.

But the New Pennsylvania has more. More natural resources,
more power, more great new roads, more building sites, more productive
workers, more access to rich markets, more opportunities than
almost any other industrial state. And, in Pennsylvania, we've
got a climate for business that's planned to keep our state's
economy heading up to new heights.
Today, at noon, the Pennsylvania Exhibit will open in the
Court of the Universe at the New York World's Fair.
Governor William W. Scranton and other outstanding Pennsylvanians
will be there, and we hope you'll come and let us show you part
of the New Pennsylvania story.
This is Pennsylvania Week at the Fair -- we'll have lots of
activity right through until next Saturday -- but our exhibit
will remain open until the Fair closes in October. So if you
can't visit us this week, be sure to come whenever you can.
Best of all, though, come see us in Pennsylvania. Find out
why we really mean it when we urge you:
"Go Places in Pennsylvania!"
|
- Best of all, Pennsylvania is for today, and for tomorrow!
You can go places in Pennsylvania and you can do things in our
exciting state.
-
- Visit our historic shrines and gaze at our gorgeous scenery,
but don't stop there.
-
- You can prepare for a happier tomorrow by studying at one
of the 128 famous colleges and universities that are Pennsylvania's
pride.
-
- You can build your industry in the heart of America's richest
market, and watch it flourish in the invigorating Pennsylvania
business climate.
-
- You can live in Pennsylvania, and have four great seasons
every year, with just about everything in sports available, plus
theatres, and music, and museums, and libraries. and some of
the friendliest people on earth.
-
- Go places in Pennsylvania? You et you can! Come for a day,
come for a lifetime! You'll like the New Pennsylvania!

We're building in the new Pennsylvania. building jobs, building
homes, building a better state in which to live, work, travel
and do business.
811 new and expanded industrial plants announced in 1964 alone
have helped keep our economy running at the most rapid rate we've
ever enjoyed. New jobs are being created every day and all the
state's resources, both private and public, are being used to
keep up the momentum.
Pennsylvanians built the first computer, the first atom-smasher,
and so many other scientific marvels going right back to Ben
Franklin's spectacles that it's no wonder our industries are
leaders in modern technology. and our basic industries like coal
and steel and textiles and oil and aluminum contribute mightily
to the better life for all the world.
After all, the new Pennsylvania has more natural resources,
more power, more great new roads, more building sites, more productive
workers, more access to rich markets, more opportunities than
almost any other industrial state. And best of all, we've got
a climate for business that's planned to keep our state's economy
heading up.

The attention
of the world will be focused on Philadelphia in 1976, the Bicentennial
of American Liberty. Here's where it all began on July 4, 1776,
when a new breed of men Declared their Independence and placed
their reliance on Almighty God.
Today Philadelphia
looks ahead to 1976, the 200th birthday of the Nation, with confidence
that fee men everywhere will want to share in this historic celebration
by holding a great World's Fair.
Acknowledged
as the most progressive city in the Nation, Philadelphia is a
unique blending of hallowed tradition with modern utility. Philadelphia
is the only logical place for such a momentous birthday party
-- here where it all began. Philadelphia invites you, both now
and again in 1976. Walk in the footsteps of the Founding Fathers
. . . relax in modern comfort . . . see PROGRESS in action.
