a while.
1t may be news to some that previous

on the same basis as men did. Then their
privileges were abridged, and in 1914
taken away entirely. In this day of Or

The New Paper.

The new Daily at Atlantic City "The
Atlantic City Daily Press, made its ap-
pearance at Atlantic City last week. 1t
was quite revelation to the newspaper
readers of Atlantic who have been
treated to half dozen sticks full of tele-
graphic news, to have six or seven col
umns of the United Press Service every
morning. The paper seems quite lively
sheet but its typographical appearance Is
not as good as might be expected. from
such a costly plant. The Press will find
plenty of opposition from every quarter
and it will probably blow in a pile OF
good money before it drives its contem-
poraries out of the field. The Press
has pluck and energy to enter such a
well CLEANED territory and we wish it
abundant success.

ID. l.. RISLEY.
Business Career and Enterprise
Of the Great Real Estate
Dealer.
Sketch of the Man who Deals In
Large Tracts of Land and
Sells Thousands of
Farms.

Mr.. d. l.. Risley, who is known all over
the United States, is no stranger to the
people of Pleasantville. He was born
here June 25, 1860, and lived here until
about five years ago, when his business
grew SO large he moved to Philadelphia
and commenced real estate operations
on a gigantic scale. He first commenced
business in that line by cutting up the
old ancestral farm into lots and streets
and inviting people to come here and
build up the place. Hesold bnildng sites,
and bought more, and induced others to
| do the same, and later on, organized the
Pleasantville Land Co., in which he now
holds controlling interest. Not content
with the sale of building lots, he soon
commenced buying large tracts of cheap
farm lands in the virgin forest of Atlantic
County, at West Pleasantville, and Nc
Kee City, and only a few months ago,
bought the ten thousand acre tract at
Estelle. All these great tracts of land
have been rapidly taken up by small
farmers from every section of the coun-
try. The low price and easy terms Of
payments place these Jersey farm lands
in reach of almost everybody, and hun
dreds of people in moderate circumstan-
ces are taking advantage OF them. With
in a year Mr.. Risley has extended his
operations to other sections and States,
until he now deals not only in Jersey
farm lands but also in cotton, coal and
mineral lands, and farming and stock
lands of the great West.
His main office at 221 South Tenth ST.,
Philadelphia, is a hive of industry, and
all his business is Systematically carried
on. Thousands of letters pour in week
ly, all of which are classified, filed and
answered in consecutive order by room
full of clerks and type writers, In many
of the large cities Mr.. Risley has agents
and offices to facilitate the transaction
of his immense business.
He is liberal patron of printers ink
and his advertising bills in thirty or forty
of the leading newspapers amount to
about fifty dollars a day. Aside from
this, he has immense piles of maps, circu-
lars, letter heads, contracts, agreements,
ETC., that keep printing presses running
all the time His business is incl easing
daily, from every section OF the country,
and new agents, new clerks and other
employees are constantly being engaged.
Mr. Risley is known among business men
as square man, and among the thou
sands who have had dealings with him
in real estate, it is rare to find one who
does not speak well of him. He doubt
less has other large schemes of land de-
velopement on hand when the tracts that
he is now interested in are sold, but he
keeps his own counsel and will probably
continue to do so until all the business
details are perfected.
