the season is going by short trip, or
by asking any summer resident. And
there is every reason why South
Harpswell should enjoy such success.
1t is near enough to Portland to make
it easy for one to make days trip
up, if business necessitates 1t, and
yet it is far enough away to obviate
the disadvantages of a city in sum-
mer. Therefore, there is every reas
on why South Harpswell should be
an ideal summer home, as it is to so
many.

the residents of Harpswell that Mr..

be keenly felt.
