sunerffeial observer. With such law
isb 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 coiors
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
seeting. miles upon miles of drive
ways so gooI 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 caIlOus
one may be to many things. the mere
mention Of flowers and Squirrels
birds and fruits viii send a thrill
that is reflected in distended pupils
and pricked ears.
| For every visitor with spare goo
Der there is a 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 its earliest visit paid
And summers lingering blossoms
are delayed.
In one yard roses Of varigated hues
7 predominant; another household has
/ a 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 viii be shown. %
/ Here is where the worlu record for
speed is broken with every recurriu-
season. Autos. the biggest. the fast
est. and the finest are on daily parad
and the big show is as free as the
pure artaslan water from the lLo1s-
ands Of flowing wells. IL is q con-
tinuous show with constantly shift
+ ing scene.
+ Everything goes, from a 2-h5rse
/ power, up to a z00-horse power, and
/ all degrees Of speed from acanter to
"a two-mile-a-minute clip. You viii
probably catch the spirit, when you
do the roads and the beach are yours.
, 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. It is drawing other thousands
and holding them enthralled, it will
I charm and hold Won. Come and saa
