city disprove the old belief that it is
only play ground for those independ, !
ent means Never has there been the |
winter demand, men and women work
>ers in this city, in every line Of work. |

men and women in good paying posi- |
lions in January, a increase Of 1900

where one can pick Strawberries,
gather oranges from the trees, throw
snowballs and go bathing all in the
same day. People do all these things. !

1ty of them are in search of homes
and a great many are buying and To-
eating in nearby suburbs.
