Along with the buoyant, sunny sprfne
days rolling chair life IS coming into SIS
own again on the Boardwalk. And tht
CHAIR habit" Is developed in Atlantic
City far beyond anything attained along
similar lines In any city In the world.
The chairs themselves are great broad.
luxurious. easy seats on wheels wherein
one seats ones self. and the great prom
enadins throng at once begins TO file
past. And the feeling Of ease and wealth
and comfort steals over the occupant. and
time flies at the rate OF SO cents per hour.
But the sensation is worth the rather
reasonable expenditure.
