Saturday and Sunday were great
: gala DAYS i'm the history of Holly Beach
, Pleasure seekers thronged the city, IL
: the hotels, on the strand and at the
sounds. Probably never before has
such a number of pleasure seekers
f visited this resort in an equal time.
Hotels were taxed to their limit ana
private dwellings were mostly occupied
The sound with its fishing and grabbing
attracted hundreds of visitors and sail
ing parties to Cape May were very
popular. At eleven O'clock, the general
bathing hour, the beach presented q
delightful scene of gayety and enjoy
ment, hundreds of people taking ad-
vantage of the perfect weather to dip II
the playful waves.
Many and pleasing are the comments
passed upon Holly Beach and the eX-
tensive Improvements which have
taken place the past year. The steady
growth, the many handsome houses
erected and the increase in realestate val
ues are all of a healthy, natural and per-
manent nature. 1t is no wonder people
are pleasantly surprised when they
learn that twenty-five buildings inclu-
ding cottages, hotels and apartment
houses have been built since September
|, 1903. With a sewerage system and
a board walk in view, even greater
things are to he expected of Holly Beach
this coming year. How long will 1t be
before we may venture to say Holly
Beach, the leading light of Five Mile
Beach!n
