HE Hard Surface Meadow Boulevard, which thousands OF automo-
biists from practically every State in the Union and many man o or
egn countries traverse every summer season, Is entered at fhasco

thousands of dollars to the county, is approximately five miles IN
length. and crosses the meadow lands that separate PleasantVlue n

The White Horse Pike, the main boulevard from Philadelphia to
Atlantic City, passing through Peasantvle, is being paved with concrete
and is nearing completion, and a Warrenite surface boulevard is completed
through Pleasantvile and will this year be finished to Mays Landing.

PLEAsANTyILLE AS A COTTAGE SECTION.

For those of moderate means who cannot afford the lavish living of
Atlantic City, Pleasantvine is the answer. Here me a rent attractive
cottages at about a third or half the rentals for like properties in Atlantic
City. Or, if the desire is to purchase, a proportionate price cn be obtain
ed. There are trolley lines running at fifteen minute intervals to and from
the Queen Resort. The fare is Is cents each way, or one may purchase
tickets in strips of six at rs cents the strip, ora commuters ticket, bring;
ing the fare down to 6 cents, is obtainable. Then there re two railroad
lines, giving excellent service, making the run across the meadows in 9
minutes. The saving in rent alone will many times pay the necessary
riding expenses.
A frstdass Hotel and several uptodate boarding houses are to be
found here, the rates at which are much lower than for like accommoda-
tions in Atlantic City.

LOCATION FOR MANUFACTURERS.

As an ideal location for manufacturing enterprises, Pleasantvi1e
stands second to none in the country. There is an abundance of vacant
land for such purposes, and an industry of almost any proportion can be
readily accommodated with the necessary land for buildings and other pur-
poses. Greater Peasantvine, including Smiths Landing, Oakhurst and
BIenheim, all within the corporate limits, covers an}area of approximately
seven square miles, and Is a business and residential section is only sur
passed in Atlantic County by Atlantic City. 1t is situated on elevated
ground twenty o more feet above the Ocean, overlooking the five miles
distance from the Queen Resort, which is plainly visible to the naked eye
both throughout the day and when the Great White Way" is Illuminated
at night.
From the point of view of the manufacturer, one of the supreme
considerations is of necessity the transit facilities. Both the Pennsylvania
and the Reading system offer ample accommodation in passenger and
freight traffic. PleasantviLe is within twelve hours Of thirty million peo-
pie, nearly onethird of the entire population of the United States.
With a progressive municipal government to aid any and all who may
be DESTROYS of locating here, it would be decidedly to the advantage of any
person, firm or corporation seeking a location or contemplating the estab-
Ishment of an industry of any character to communicate with the City
Clerk of Pleasantvile or the Chamber of Commerce.
We boast of having fifteen churches, four schools, including a High
School, National Bank, Trust Company, Newspaper, Hotel, Boarding
Houses, Building ASSOCIATIONS Steam Laqndries, Steam Bakeries, Manu-
featuring Industries, Electric Lights, Gas, Water Works, Telephone, Secret
Societies, Police, Fire Department., Theatres, Brass Band, Stores of all
kinds from Cigars to Department stores. The Atlantic City Water Plant
is located here, capacity 100000 gallons daily. Excellent trolley ser
vice through Main street. Three electric and two steam lines afford con-
slant service to Atlantic City, which can also be reached by Automobile
ovre an eighty-foot wide Boulevard in II minutes and not exceed the speed
limit. Only eight minutes by trolley to the World-famous Atlantic City
Golf Links and Country Club, and within three miles of the grand new
Million Dollar Seaview Golf Club, above Absecon. Fishing, Grabbing,
hunting, bathing etc. We have a permanent population now of more
than 5000.

THE BEST TOWN ON THE MAP.

The town is today one of the most rapidly expanding and improving
municipalities on the Atlantic Mainland, in Southern New Jersey.
1t is situated on elevated ground 20 feet or more above the Ocean,
overlooking the 5 miles distance from Atlantic City. tt is fast becoming
a health resort, where stately mansions enhance the beauty of the town
and promote its desirabiity as n ideal abiding place.
With its present impetus and its cozy homes, its shaded streets, excel
lent schools and Seashore attractions for the City Dweners, it has a future
of remarkable promise.
ALL-THE- YEARROUND RESORT.
AS surely as this nation increases in population and wealth, Just so
surely will Pleasantvile develop into a beautiful Seashore City.

DEMANDS FOR FERRIS
TO SPEAK POURING IN
Over 200 Points In Oklahoma Want
Him to Talk; Farmers Writing
Letters; Women Showing
Strong, Speakers Volunteer

Oklahoma City, Okla, July 22.-
With the state wide primary only
two weeks distant, every new sur
face indication points to decided
band wagon drift to Scott Ferris,
candidate for the democratic U. S.
senatorial nomination during the
present week. If continued this drift
will assume the proportions of a
landslide by ballotng day.
This decided rush to the Ferris
banner is substantiated by reports
from practically every county in the
state. In the hotel lobbies promi-
nent citizens of various counties tell
of it. Travelling men report Ferris
sentiment on the increase and out
of several hundred visitors to this
city who were interviewed since
Monday, practically every one had a
story of rising Ferris stock
Ferris managers were deluged yes
terday with offers of help from hun
dreds of leading citizens in many
counties who have discarded the
cloak of neutrality, and for the first
time are anxious to have a place in
the Ferris army
More than two hundred demands
reached Ferris headquarters today
from cities and towns insisting that
Ferris personally pay them cam
paign visit before primary day. An
invitation was received from the
Pond Greek American Legion Post
for him to be the principal speaker
at its picnic late in August 1--WE
want to be among the first to have
our nominee for the U S. senate ad-
dress us, the ex-soldiers declared
Speakers are volunteering in droveF
and the speakers bureau already IL
assured that there will be 500 Ferris
campaigners on the job during the
last week of July.
An important straw according
to prominent citizens, Is the daily
increasing number Of democratic can
didates for county offices who are
declaring for Ferris in their local
campaigns. Every democratic candi-
date in Washington county is openly |
running on Ferris platform.
Farmers from the four corners of |
The state are writing in increasing |
volume to deny that their votes are |
controlled by any man and to partic !
ularly recent the playing off of one |
class against another which is the |
favorite method of Ferris opponents
Polls of democratic women COM |
pleted this week in ten counties scat
tered throughout the state indicate |
that so per cent of the registered
democratic women of Oklahoma will (
vote for Ferris.
