Ocean City

Had q good start, and like a good text
that IL a big help to successful results
Yes. cean City was a big. robust,
healthy out-of-doors baby. Hygienically
pure and free from artificial stimulants
It just grew. There never was such a
baby on the South Jersey coast. and ev-
erybody was interested in its diet and
bringing up. and there were quite a few
who firmly believed that no baby could
thrive who wasn't raised on the bottle.
And so ours was quite an experiment to
them. But, pshsw, 1t never even felt
the need Of a bottle, and naturally IL
grew just so much faster and sturdier.
and. like the Hebrew children, had a
roster, healthier countenance, and more
old-tirns diet. Then, soon the doubters
got wise to the situation and concluded
the baby was doing ine and had every
chance for a great future. So they. too,
came and helped in many ways. Still
there was enough contention over 1t to
develop its moral and physical strength,
and to establish self-conhdence, and to-
hood. IT is bigger. healthier and wealth.
Ter than some others old enough to be its
father
Thirty-fve years ago the projectors of
Ocean City started on the proposition OF
making the desert blossom as the rose.
Everyone who views its delightful devel-
opment can judge how far success has
rewarded the efforts. Ocean City's as
sessed valuation is now nearly nine mil
lion dollars, and is made up largely
from values in delightful cottage homes
such as few other resorts can boast of.
II is par excellence the City OF Summer
Homes, occupied by their owners whose
chief ambition is to get the maximum
Of clean enjoyment out of the investment
To introduce Ocean City to new friends
there are quite a number of attractive
cottages. bungalows, and apartments for
rent at very reasonable rates, in desir-
able locations, experience having shown
that usually one years renting makes an
owner Of his own home for the second.
As Ocean City was put on the water
wagon right from the start for a perma-
nency, it has been the great object Of its
government to secure the very finest
quality of that liquid and the artesian
flow which supplies its many homes is
| the pUrest chemically, of any water sup
ply on the coast
The unique and ideal location OF Ocean
city will always give 1t a position OF
prime Importance in the resort economy
of this State. II is the center of the
stage as things stand today. and in close
touch with each Of the other beaches.
cCming by train or auto. You have all
the Cape May resorts to the south, and
all the others on the north, with good
railroad and hrst-class auto connections.
Ocean City has developed business abil-
ity in its citizens Of very high order.
and its city government demands the
very highest efficiency in every depart
ment, and especially in the public utili-
ties The result is, the best lighted city
in the State; a sewerage system of the
very latest improved order, and perfect
disposal plant.

MISHAWAKA MAY FORM
ROUND TABLE FEATURE

Members Of the Business Mems
association will hold their second
weekly luncheon at the hotel Mish-
awake Thursday at 1890. So sue
cessful was the initial gathering last
week, that this feature of Misha-
Waka's mercantile life will be made
a permanent institution. Hereafter,
1T is probable that these affairs will
be held at $3.50 in the evening. It
IS felt that a larger attendance would
result in a change Of the hour. as
business men would be enabled to go
TO the hotel Immediately on leaving
their stores, and would have more
time to discuss matters likely to
come before the association. II has
also been suggested that a round
table be formed IN this connection,
which idea, If carried out. would
undoubtedly prove popular in Mish-

OBJECTION is RAISED
TO MAYORS ACTION

Some talk has been occasioned by
the tilt between Mayor Gaylor and
City Engineer Charles Cole at the
hoard of public works meeting Mon
day. Some Of the members Of the
board resent the mayors action in
vetoing the introduction by the city
engineer Of a resolution calling for
the pavement of the alley east of
Fred Rankert's garage, east TO First
st. They contend that the mayor
was entirely out Of order as the en-
gineer is only responsible to the
board for any action he may deem
worthy o. Introducing before that
body. 1t appears now that the board
would have acted favorably on the
engineers resolution, but for the no
tice to adjourn made by a member
who evidently saw the beginning Of
trouble between the chief executive
and the engineer, who was beginning
TO get hot under the collar"
