The historic village OF Huntington
.ong Island, is one of the places IN the
,uburban district Of this city where
here have been interesting scenes Of
building activity within the last lew
,ssrs. notwithstanding the unfavora-
sic conditions for realty expansion
prevailing in the majority OF attrac-
i've speculative fields. The good vol
,ue Of business done at Huntington IS
3ue to many causes. One of the prln-
,ipal factors is its nearness to TINS
,i-v and another is its natural charms.
-nouestionably Huntington is one OF
ne most beautiful towns in the vast
suburban areas of New York. us
harms are such as 10 remind ono OF
he grandeur of many old towns IN
New England.

loted for it's wooded features. Almost
vervwhere there is an abundance OF
recs Of many years standing, and Tor
many miles the main roads are like a
