AVALON BOOMING !

You may not know that since most of the ground on Seven Mile
Beach at Avalon, New Jersey, has been purchased by a syndicate of
Atlantic City capitalists, among whom ar John l.. Young, ex-Judge
Joseph Thompson, George and James Bew, and many others of Allan
tic City, extensive Improvements are being made Contracts have
been awarded for a mile and a half of new graveed streets and ave-
cement concrete curbing have been made, and as soon as the weather
permits, three miles of cement sidewalks will be constructed. More
than 1000 feet of water pipes have been laid this winter. The Bor-
ough Council is now having plans and specifications drawn for IN ell
ecuic light plant, and at least six good cottages ar being built this
Spring.
Remember that Avalon is a Municipal Borough that is practically
out of debt, its waterworks being worth as much as its bonded debt.
Avalon has no floating debt, and has a cash balance in the treasury.
Taxes are lower at Avalon than at any other seaside resort in Cape
May County.
The Avalon improvement Company are now offering the stock of
a ley company to be known as Avalon Summit Improvement Com
pany, for the purchase of a section of Seven Mile Beach, which is the
highest ground on any of the island beaches in Cape May County.
Sand hills on this tract are s. feet above the level of high water. Long
this thorofare boathouse lots have been laid out. The fact that any,
one can take a boat a few hundred feet from the highest and best lots.
will always be a leading attraction to this tract of ground.
While this is the very best piece of seashore property ever offered
to investors, we are offering it at a price that would have been cheap
20 years ago, when the other beach resorts in Cape May County were
just starting.
If you have missed all the opportunities of the past to invest in
seashore property, do not fail to embrace this one.
