Those who Live Along Central

There is nothing more pleasing to a
ured business man or n woman after a
shopping tour than green grass and the

man or woman is rema rka bile. 1t is be-
cause of the resultant effects on the
nerves and the general health OF our
business men that 70 many live in the
country. where there Is grass and
flowers and other natural tonics for the
human body. Living in the country,
folks must give up city life to great
extent. The theatre and n lot Ct other
features of city life dear to the heart
OF men and women must be done with

This is not the case of course, with
those who have had the good fortune

fine apartment buildings which overlook
Central Park. Here we have the city

From the windows of most OF the

much more than a mile over beautiful
