Haven trolleys pass Rivercliff at few minute intervals, and due to the fact the Riyercliff is situated on the old Boston Post road, it is in easy access to Bridgeport by either trolley and motor car. By trolley. the ride is but 25 minutes while by motor the trip can be made in IS minutes. Another important feature, one that will be appreciated by the householder is I.ivercliff's close proximity to schools, churches and stores at Devon.
 After the hard days work in the crowded and dusty city. Rivercllf residents know only the real joys of living. Relaxation and the true worth of existence are found here. It is the great outdoors where the chil- dren can safely play, away from the dangers that ever Turk in the city. The green fields, the woods and the river are all great playground near which the little tots can play the live long day!
 Many have purchased homesites at Rivercliff. The lots are being sold rapidly and it behooves those who are searching for future home to make an early choice.
