Big Spring Rush Anticipated on

1t is q remarkable fact that while
most of the seashore resorts lie dormant
in the winter time, the famous stand
ard bungalow established by Henry II.
Ottens and his Interests in North Wild
wood. have been steadily ceiling dur
ing these winter days and the pros poets
for an unusual spring sale is bright. So
far, at least fifteen of these houses are
built out of the forty sold to date and
it looks very much as if Contractor
Smith will be pushed to the limit to
deliver these houses as fast as they are
sold during the coming season. The
house is a marvel in every respect aud
the large number of city people who
have come down and Investigated them
have agreed that it is the best barp ain,
and the best value for the money in
vested that they seen in any section of
the coast, or anywhere else. Every
house built means more family for
Wildwood and that helps some, and
Ottens' interests have stead lastly plug
ged for the az advancement of Five Mile
Beach and have kept out of political
wrangling, realizing that the only way
to accomplish anything is to do some
thing, not talk about it. Even local
residents of this beach have investi-
gated the Ottens Standard Bungalow
and many Of them have expressed a
desire to own such a home. There is
no question that this house, as we'll as
the whole proposition, is a remarkable
one and wifi not last long, because
when the full quota of one hundred
houses are built there will be no more
of these houses offered in North Wild
wood section, so far as we know now.
