NO BETTER SECURITIES CAN Be FOUND


All persons of moderate means, at
some time or other in their lives, have
dreams of attaining wealth, or at least
of securing a competency which they
may enjoy in their declining years.
Some few years ago it was more of a
custom than a rarity to find that the
average business man upon reaching
middle life had accumulated enough of
this worlds goods to enable him to
spend the rest of his days in compare
tive ease, but in these latter days of
trusts and gigantic corporations, when
the cost of living is so great, and COM
petition in business so keen, how many
ever attain this ambition? 1t is a well
known fact that the number is COM
paratively small. There is just as
much wealth in this country as there
was in former years, but the great ma
jority of the American people of today,
unlike their forefathers, are lacking in
conservatism, and with an insane
desire to get rich quick, many of them
rush their savings into the purchase of
shares Of stocks of some questionable
concern that holds out alluring prom
ises, which it fails to fulfill; or put
their money into stocks and bonds of
some kind where it is used by the
large financiers of the country, and
where the small investors get but a
paltry return in their investment, and as
a consequence, the dreams of wealth or
a competency are shattered on the
rock of poor judgment. Dreams are
but slumbering ambitions waiting for
an opportunity, and these dreams of a
competency a be realized, but not
by risking your savings pellmell in
to the purchase of questionable securi-
ties, but by taking advantage of the
golden opportunities that are now
presenting themselves along the New
Jsrse.kcoast. and invest yqpr money
in that.form of Investment that has
proven to be one of the safest and most
profitable that can be found anywhere,
and that is in seashore property.
Large fortunes have been made by
wise investments in property in Allan
aic City, Wildwood and various other
places along the New Jersey coast, and
the golden opportunity of the present
era is now presenting itself at Wild
wood Crest, the pretty new resort at
the end of this island which has set a
z.oa1IaA4 fAr rooart hfrildfnn cfnoo If
was started less than three years ago,
and hundreds of persons that have
proven their sagacity by their previous
wise and profitable investments, have
selected ground here and are erecting
handsome cottages in this ideal resort
which has no equal in point of beauty
along the entire Jersey coast.
An investment, such as the wise in
vestor seeks, should offer safety of
principal, marketability and a reason
able chance of appreciation in value as
we'll as giving satisfactory returns in
interest upon the amount of money in
vested, and nc better place to secure an
investment of this kind can be found
than at Wildwood Crest where the lar
gest number of buildings are now in
course OF construction that has ever
been erected in one year in any resort
along the Atlantic coast.
Thomas Lea, of Philadelphia, who
recently purchased the handsome cot
tage of Captain Frank P. Downs on
Aston road, is spending a few days here
enjoying the delightful springlike
weather.
The handsome cottage that is being
erected on Pacific avenue for Thomas
). Rose, a former member of Select
Council in the Quaker city, is rapidly
nearing completion and will soon be
ready for occupancy. Mr.. Rose is a
frequent visitor here and is much
pleased with the progress that is being
made.
Mrs. Rosina Stoeppel, who owns the
splendid large hotel Prospect here, is
spending the winter in Philadelphia,
and was a visitor to the Crest a few
days ago. She was surprised at the
large number of new cottages that are
under course of construction.
Andrew S. Godfrey, a well known
contractor and builder of Millville,
has selected a pretty site of ground on
Wisteria road, west of Pacific avenue,
and a few days ago began the erection
of a handsome cottage which he will
build for himself and which he will
have completed before the spring sea-
son.
