one of the finest resorts in Florida. and
its building is opening up to permanent
residents the wonderfully attractive fea-
lures of this seaside place.
This property extends for FIVE
miles along the finest ocean beach in the
country, and extends back over hundreds
of acres of wonderfully beautiful palm and
oak hammock. Historic spots, Indian
mounds and shell mounds are scattered
through it, and magnificent drives lead
to them. There is no more interesting

Beach. 1t is only seventeen miles from
Jacksonville with which it is connected by
one of the finest hard surfaced roads in
