Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cumberland, Maryland, 1891 The Walsh property is situated partly within and partly beyond the City's limits, and on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and affords more eligible sites for manufactories than any other single tract of land in or near Cumberland. It slopes very gently towards the canal, and is practically level. Maps of these properties will be sent on application to intending investors. The values of real estate are low. There has been and will be no speculation. Cumberland will not boom in that way. Land can be bought at from $100 to $1000 per acre according to location and condition, and these prices are but a slight advance over those at which property was held two and three years ago. The advance in price has been gradual and substantial, keeping pace with the expansion of the City. Persons contemplating buying lands -here need have no fear of being made victims of the speculations which enhance property in boom towns, and leave them with a corner lot when the fever has abated.
