S are Newport and Bar Harbor in midsummer
r all that the influx at Easter does not equal that
when the summer excursion business is at Hood
tide, almost all OF Atlantic Citys one thousand
hotels and boarding houses are open to receive
the spring merrymakers who pour in at the rate
of 800 carloads day for several days before
Easter What the Easter invaders lack in num-
bers they make up in spending power and this
insures them a double welcome on the great
amusement highway where the opportunities OF
retail trade are such that much as $4,000
year rental is charged for tiny store room
That the Easter rush seaward mems such a
golden harvest for the hotel keepers and mer
chants at the Brighton of America is all the moro
significant when it is taken into consideration
that many of the Easter visitors come only for
the week end"-that is. for the interval from
Friday afternoon to Monday morning.
Atlantic City at Eastertide is the board walk
and the board walk is Atlantic City. In the sum-
mer the great bathing beach is, OF course, the
prime attraction for many of the visitors, but
nobody cares to indulge in dip in old ocean at
Easter unless, mayhap, 1t be some venturesome
individual in quest of notoriety. This being the
case the board walk becomes the center of attrac-
ton and right well does it meet the responsible
ity. Following the example of Atlantic City. al
most every seaside community has erected
