A glance still farther into the future
reveals a well-laid-out city, with fine
public buildings and business houses.
broad avenues and streets. upon which
lappear handsome residences, with spa
cious lawns made attractive by semi
tropical plants, and small, well-cul-
tivated plantations and groves smiling
with quickly maturing and profitable
Icrops and fruits.
The company gives homeseekers and
investors the positive assurance that the
isame public-spirited assistance as that

public buildings and modern conven-
fences will here obtain, and there is no
reason whatever to doubt that this
promise will be carried out.
\ Common-Scnse Plan.
The plan of colonization is based
on common sense There are many
people who, regardless of their earnest
desire to get away from rigorous
Northern Winters to a sunny cline,
would abandon the idea entirely If
asked to isolate their families on land
far removed from social, educational
or business advantages.
| l understand the company is work
ing on aggressive plans which within
result in a city of commercial impor-
tance, which will have the advantages
| of Northern cities, yet be free from
climatic annoyances and congestion. "A
successful Business College is already
located at st. Andrews Bay.
There is convincing proof that
many active business men of the
North, realizing the limitless pos
sibilities of the new colony, are pre-
pairing to immigrate as soon as it is
open for settlement. a helpful, hope
full, cheerful spirit prevails among all
who come, because all are working to-
ward the common end of health, hap
piness and prosperity.
Making Possibilities.
The climate and soil at st. Andrews
Bay are such that nearly all kinds of
fruits, nuts and vegetables usually
grown in Il Southern climate will -four
ish, and transportation facilities admit
of their being placed on the Northern
markets at n time when the highest
prices can be obtained.
Poultry raising can be carried on
here with great success. Live stock
can be raised at small expense and sold
at large profit
With the coming of people from all
sections of the country land values will
rapidly increase. 1t is reasonable to
expect that the increase in values here
will be at least as great as at St. Cloud,
where | am told on good authority.
values have riStn from 100 to 1000 per
cent within the past year. And there
is no reason why values at st. Andrews
Bay should not increase in the same
ratio, and those who are fortunate and
wise enough to get in early will reap
the greatest benefit.
Any business man who feels that his
health or that of his family makes
necessary a change from the North to
the South need not worry over giving
up his business, for il may be estab-
lished and continued in the new colony,
and the measure of his success is de-
pendent only upon his keeping pace
with the fast-growing population.
There are innumerable avenues of
profit which may be developed, and
when the conditions are carefully con-
sidered will suggest themselves to ac-
tive minds.
Ideal Climate.
The longer one stays on the ground
the more reasons present themselves
for locating there.
Nothing too strong can be said about
il. Refreshing breczes constantly blow
in from the Gulf. Even in Midsum-
mer's hottest day the heat is not exces-
sive, and it is easy to keep cool when
sheltered from the sun. one does not
feel depressed by the heat because
there is no humidity. Sunstroke is
said to be unknown in this locality.
The nights are almost invariably cool.
HeaIthfuIncss.
Statistics prove that st. Andrews
Bay and the country adjacent
thereto is remarkably free from
fulness is not excelled anywhere in the
United States. Catarrhal troubles soon
disappear. Those suffering from throat,
lung and rheumatic troubles are quick
| ly and permanently benefited.
Good Water.
Florida, according to the L. S. Geo
! logical Survey, is the best-watered
State in the Union, in surface lakes and
rivers and in artesian supply. Artesian
wells are easily driven, and the water
| is of the pureGt and best.
Low Cost of Building
| Lumber is comparatively cheap, be-
cause the forests are close at hand and
sawmills numerous. The cost of build
! ing is very much less than in the North,
where long and expensive railroad
| transportation charges have TO be in
c!uded. Lumber for building purposes
can be bought at from 81 to S12 per
Thousand. There are several large saw
mills located at different points on the
/ Bay that are working continually and
producing several millions of feet of
the finest grades of lumber per month.
Fuel Is Cheap.
Coal bills will not bother the colo
nists at st. Andrews Bay, because no
coal is required. The only fuel needed
| is for cooking purposes, and very rarely
in Winter to take off the slight chill in
the house. No heavy Winter clothing
| is ever necessary.
Outdoor Sports.
Anyone who enjoys hunting, fishing
or boating can freely indulge their
tendencies. The forests are filled with
