SUPERB PLACE FOR
PERMANENT ABODE
This Ocean Development Within
Easy Reach of Principal Sec
tions OF Metropolis.

Within this city Is one OF the most val
liable ocean front properties along the
Atlantic coast. his great property Is
the Manhattan Beach Estates, which, In
about the last five years. has been trans
formed into an ocean residential park
with miles Of broad and macadamized
streets. with trees that already afford
ample shade 10 many home plots, with
electric light and telephone conveniences,
with its own sewage and water systems
with private trolley line and with wise
restrictions which insure the continued
upbuilding Of the property into bigger
and. therefore. more valuable residential
community
Fortunate. indeed is New York TO ave
within its boundaries such beautiful
and extensive ocean colony Of fine homes.
Already Manhattan Beach Estates mas
solved the home problems Of many per-
sons and il will also DO the same for
every person with similar perplexities
who reads this brief description OF this
wonderful property if they will only take
the time TO visit the premises Surely
they will return TO their old homes con-
vinced OF the fact that Manhattan Beach
Estates is the place for them TO build
an all-year home. And another fact
which will impress the visitor deeply IS
that the delights OF living at Manhattan
Beach Estates may be fully enjoyed by
the homeseeker Of moderate circum-
stances.
Those persons who can afford TO pay
about s45 a month rent can live COM
fortably in home Of their own there

person who pays A5 rent pays OUT
$40 year. The difference between $45O
and $50 is an ample sum with which 70
meet. the taxes on the 5000 home at
Manhattan Beach Estates and also the
few slight repairs that might be needed
TO the house.
At the end Of the year the man who
pays rent has only handful Of receiptec
