A Bird's-eye View of Jamaica

New York, 1895

D. L. Hardenbrook has in contemplation the issue of a bird's eye view or map of the village of Jamaica, which will give accurately every street and avenue, and the location of every house. He has made arrangements with the well known map makers, O. H. Bailey & Co., of Boston, for its production.

Marginal views of the principal business houses and finest residences will be introduced, and an index will be appended for readily locating any point.

This is the first time any attempt has been made to produce such a map, and the accuracy of this one will make it extremely useful. The execution will be the best that can be done, so that as a work of art alone it will be valuable.

The size of the map will be 25x36, and it will be printed.on the finest mounted paper.

The cost will be $1 per copy, and no one should fail to get one.

A sample copy can be seen at D. L. Hardenbrook's office, and either he or his representative, Mr. Charles Christensen, the hustling real estate man from Van Wyck avenue, who has taken charge of the soliciting for the map and has received a large number of orders, you will never have an opportunity again to send a map away to your friends for such a small figure. Don't fail to get a cut of your business place or residence on the border of the map at special rates within the reach of all.

The Madam Lineff Russian Peasant Choir concert will be given on the evening of February 28. The concert will be one of the most interesting ever given in this village.

The singers are all Russian, and will be dressed in Russian costume. An interesting feature of the concert will be several peasant dances.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, Feb. 22, 1895, p. 12.
