NAPOLEON SAID

There is Nothing too Good for the French"
Americans demand the best You can get it at Wild
wood Crest. We are building a City quickly, and to do
this we have kept prices down to get population, for
that is as necessary to a resort as blood is to the cir
culation. Here are FIFTEEN REASONS for investing
in WILDWOOD CREST in this Last Sale.
| BECAUSE the lots now offered are in blocks where fifty
houses are already built,
z BECAUSE three wears ago it was a waste and wilderness, but
now t is the model resort.
) BECAUSE it affords an unequaned opportunity to benefit
your health, enhance your pleasure, and i'm
prove your estate.
4 BECAUSE it is so high above the sea you get the best views
and the coolest air.
5 BECAUSE it faces the Ocean, Inlet and Lake, and you never
fail of salt breezes over tide-waters.
6 BECAUSE there is no better place on earth to sail or fish or
hunt or rest.
7 BECAUSE it is planned, built and conducted on a scale that
has compelled success.
8 BECAUSE the public utilities, avenues, roads, pavements,
curbs and sewers are made, paid and are free.
9 BECAUSE you can pay ten dollars per month on ground and
your life will be insured, or pay cash and get a
10 BECAUSE if you build before July 1st 1910 you will receive
a bonus, reducing the cost of your ground to
one-third of its real value.
II BECAUSE the founders are the same as at Wildwood, where
land has brought eighteen times as much as
the founders got for it.
II BECAUSE Wildwood Crest has the benefit of the experience
of the founders in making Wildwood.
IS BECAUSE the title is insured and you cannot put money
where it will be safer or more profitable or de-
velopment as rapid.
II BECAUSE there is no other place of equal merit where you
can buy as low or where success is as sure, and
IS BECAUSE there is not an undesirable lot in this sale and the
sale will close very soon.
