Those who visit DeLand will find
a little city of about three thousand
permanent residents, though this num-
Der is perhaps doubled in the winter

large BODY of people who spend the
season in DeLand either in hotels,
boarding or in homes of their
own. These are distinguished from
the genuine tourists by the fact that
they come early in the season and
remain until spring.
Perhaps the most striking feature
of the town to the newcomer is the
magnificent paved streets shaded by
beautiful oaks. These are not only
attractive to the eye, but offer de-
l1ghtful driveways.
We have many miles of the shell
streets, which are greatly appreciated
and used by the tourists during the
entire winter season, as there are but
few days that driving, cycling and
riding is made impossible by bad
weather

WHAT DE LAND OFFERS.

To tell OF all that DeLand offers
in a publication of this size would be
impossible. The object of this publ
cation is to attract your attention by
a plain, honest statement of the most
important advantages we have to Of
fer. with the hope that you may be
induced to make visit and Judge for
yourself as to the desirability of the
Place for either permanent home, or
spot in which you can spend few
months of the winter season to ad-
vantage. 1t it certain that if you can
be induced to see the place, that the
advantages it offers will appeal so
forcibly to your best judgment that
you will be satisfied to either spend
your remaining days here under a vine
and fig tree, or rather an orange tree,
that you may plant, or will perhaps
make this your winter headquarters
for all time to come.
Before the disastrous freeze of ten
years ago, DeLand was the center of
the great orange belt of Florida. For
miles and miles on every side of the
city there were almost unbroken ex-
panses of orange trees. The freeze
referred to killed thousands of acres
of these groves. which at that time
were just attaining a profitable bear
ing age and size, and represented in
many cases the work and savings of
lifetime The damage done, in dol
lars and cents, ran well into the mil
lions. The orange growers-and prac-
tically the entire population of the
community were orange growers in a
greater or less degree-sent out no
appeals for help. Though the labor
of a quarter of lifetime was wiped
out in night, they asked for no help. |
but put their shoulders to the wheel
with a determination to achieve vic
tory from defeat, and the result is |
shown to-day in many of the fine |
orange groves in this section now
Welding profitable crops annually. Of
course, the industry has not attained |
the proportions existing before the |
freeze. but it is gradually building up,
