this immense acreage known as West
gate involves between six and seven
hundred acres, which is divided into

Back Of this comes a series of half
acre and acre lots. Back of this, high
er on the mesa, commanding a wide
spreading view of the entire country,
is series of beautiful acreage prop
critics designed for the ideal country
home in Southern California.
Few people arriving from the east,
and fewer still of those who live in
Los Angeles, fully realize the delights
Of the swinging sea breezes which cool
the foothills in summer. and of the
brilliant, vitality-inspiring sunshine
which bathes them in winter, but as
the country grows and a larger per-
centage of the citizens of the land of
the sun begin to realize what outdoor
life means and to appreciate the health
1t brings and the happiness of the
children, more and more will flock to
these sun-kissed hills.
