superficial observer. With such law
ish wealth of natural beauty it be-
came an easy thing for the hand of
man to give the finishing touches
which have wrought out the colors
and outlines of the big picture.
Man did all this in the laying out
of the streets with their wide margins
of parkage. The entire city becomes
a great park, with driveways inter
secting. miles upon miles OF drive
ways so goou as to attract motorists
from all over the continent.
And as for the pavements, pave
ments that look and act like granite,
where else between the eastern
and western seas are SO many miles
in proportion to inhabitants? The
pavement question stands with the
street as one of the chief drawing
cards. Till some unheard OF
place reports more and better, Day
tona throws down the gauntlet to the
world.
Squirrels, Flowers, Birds and Fruit.
Whatever comes shortcomings and
| however Indifferent or even callous
one may be to many things. the mere
mention of flowers and Squirrels,
birds and fruits" will send a thrill
that is reflected in distended pupils
and pricked ears.
| For every visitor with a. spare goo
Der there is bunny ready to come
and accept your gift. He will sit bolt
upright and knaw into the meat,
casting furtive, saucy glances at you
meanwhile.
] Flowers Usually fresh and bloom
ing the year round You are reminded
of Goldsmith's couplet where
Smiling spring it's earliest visit paid
And summers lingering blossoms
are delayed.
In one yard roses of varigated hues
predominant; another household has
penchant for the poincetta and the
premises are aflame; another is hid
den in a jungle of tall cane. Variety
is the spice of life and here is where
you find it.
The birds fit in. and with their
joyous notes help to give fullness
and symmetry to the picture ].
/ AS for fruits, choice citrus fruits,
Daytona yields the palm to none for
quality and quantity per acre. There
are scores of citrus groves in prox-
unity to the city, branches bending
to the earth with their burdens OF
luscious golden globes, which for
beauty. proflicacy and all desirable
qualities would truly astonish you.
The Fastest Autos and The Finest
Out.
/ The seventh world wonder, do you
ask? Come, whether from Missouri
or from Maine, from Kalamazoo or
Timbuckto, and you will be shown
u Here is where the worlds record for
speed is broken with every recurring
season. Autos, the biggest, the fast.
est, and the finest are on daily parad
and the big show is as free as the
pure artesian water from the thous-
ands of flowing wells 1t is a con-
tinuous show with constantly shift
ing scene.
Everything goes, from a 2-horse
power, up to a 200-horse power, and
all degrees of speed from acanter to
a two-mile a-minute clip. You will
probably catch the spirit, when you
do the roads and the beach are yours.
i The Florida sunshine is free, the
balmy ocean breezes are free, the
birds and squirrels and flowers are
free, the sparkling fountain water is
free and you will have to go down in
to your wallet only for coin for auto
and bed and board.
This is no fanciful picture; it's all
here. 1t is drawing other thousands
and holding them enthralled, it will
charm and hold you Come and see.
