pendent. It 10 great business for the

As A SUMMER RESORT.
There is much reason for the people OF
Sargentvilie to congratulate themselves on
the character OF the class OF summer guests
who are finding . home in their midst
Among the recent summer settlers may be
mentioned Rev. DIR. John X. Davis, one OF
the leading church lights OF Philadelphia
who has built an elegant cottage near
Byard's Point. Judge Henry A. Knapp, Of
the Scranton, Pa, municipal court Is also
here with fine summer home, and not far
away is the cottage Of Arthur II. Lee, Of
the Lackawana Iron & Coal company.
These are ell wealthy men, and naturally
will bring others in their train. The
Byard's poin. esta blishmcnts will all be Of
q magnitude that can only be developed
by wealth.
Unless all signs shall fail, this is bound
to become one Of the most beautiful
among our Maine coast resorts and .
possible rival to some OF the more famous
places already established. The men who
are pushing Sargentville into prominence
are public-spirited and energetic. and will
spare neither money nor labor to beautify
and adorn . place where nature lie
already seen ct her best.
Not least among the means and methods
that are making sArgentvilie famous are
the pictures that are being taken and sent
broadcast by Mrs. Evie NJ. Kimball, the
well-known Bangor artist. This lady has
just completed 4 fine cottage here, and Is
photographing every beauty spot in the
vicinity for post cards. These are largely
taken by the summer guests and sent out
to their friends over the country, thus sd-
vertising the charms of the place and
bringing others here. Its proximity to
Bar Harbor is also in its favor, as 1t is well
known that wealthy summer guests like
to travel backward and forth to see other
beauty spots. One OF the great needs here
at present is a new summer hotel, and
such house could be filled 1t once ut pro-
ntable prices. All these attractions will
come in time.
+. p. Kicker says that in twenty years
from now the summer business OF Maine
will be quadrupled and still growing.
That Sargentville will be in the fore front
OF this business there can be no doubt.
The ever beautiful Eggemoggin Reach,
with its waters sparkling beneath . sum
mer sun, is an attraction that will grow in
popularity ss the years roll on. Scenes OF
historic interest and classic beauty are
around, and these will yet resound with
the merry laughter Of people seeking for
health and recreation.
