Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Reading edition

Philadelphia is the city which belongs to every American as part of the great heritage left him by the Founding Fathers. Here are Independence Hall, Carpenters Hall, the Betsy Ross House and many very old houses of worship. A green Mall sets off the State House, home of the famed Liberty Bell.

William Penn’s original “greene, countrie towne” has risen again, not as an open air museum of antiquity alone, but as a living center of one of the world’s greatest cities.
