u TR. DUMoNT is president of the Mont
vi ray Corporation, which was incorporated
in June, 1910, succeeding Dunont &
Company which operated under the latter name
during part of 1908 and all of 1909.
The corporation occupies suite of Offices on
the 18th floor of the Astor Trust Bldg, 5th Ave.
at 42d ST., which is occupied by the Bankers
Trust Company.
The name "MONTRAY," which has very
pleasing sound when it is spoken, was coined by
combining "Mont"-the last syllable of Mr.
Dumonts name-with 'Ray"-the last syllable
of the of the treasurer of the corporation,
William Murray.
Mr.. Dunont's picture is printed with this
story at my request. / believe it is good sense
to give people chance to study man through
his picture. Then when they come to deal with
him, as many will after learning the facts about
Mr. Dumont and the Montray Corporation, they
will have formed some estimate of what manner
of man he is
DON'T you think gauge mans char
acter pretty accurately by studying his picture?
Mr.. Duronts picture looks exactly as he is.
Don't you think he looks like man you can
trust7
or two7
AS matter of fact, he knows a lot.
He was book publisher for many years prior
to becoming identified with the Montray Cor
poration. He confined his publishing activities
largely to printing English editions OF the great
French authors.
The only English edition of Voltaire's works
was produced and printed by him. 1t consists
Of AZ De Luxe volumes and an Index.
For the excellence of this work, Mr.. Dumont
received the decoration of the French Academy
which was presented to him In 1907 by M
BRAND, now Frances Prime Minister, who at
that time was Minister of Instruction in the
French Cabinet

in accidental meeting with a friend and
former co-worker gave Mr.. Dumont the op-
portunity he sought.
While walking around the streets of Miami one
day, Mr.. Dumont met friend who worked for him
time He knew this friend had lived in Florida
for years. and had been successful in real
operations. He told his friend that he tired of
loafng, and asked him if there something he
could do IN Florida.
The friend, knowing OF Mr. Durnonts real estate
activities in the North told him he could buy piece
of property Miami which lent itself immediate
development, and if he wanted to, he could play with
that while ne was resting.
DO you know the property" asked Mr.. Dumont.
yes know all about it." his friend answered land
it is all right, too. would take it myself if
other activities did not prevent my doing So"
Well then, I'll buy it. Fix up the deal for me-"
Mr. Durnont said.
"Whatl Buy it for you without your even Sec
ing ite'
Certainly. why notf Haven't you just told me that
the property is all right? Your Judgment is good
enough for ne BESIDES you know trust you"
So Mr Dumont bought the property without seeing
it, but when he did it, he found it to be all that his
friend said it was, and more too.
He Immediately got busy-surveying and laying out
streets and dividing the property into building lots
He went at this thing with his whole heart. His
wife objected to his giving SO much time to the prop
osition but he laughed away her objections by saying
that he really wasn't doing very much work--that he
just supervisingand that he was getting lot OF
fun out OF it.
In very short time he had everything ready to start
selling building lots.
He advertised in the newspapers and sold every lot
in weeks time.
Incidentally, he made snug little sum of money
for the Montray Corporation.
Also the buyers Of the lots have the satisfaction
today of knowing that their lots have greatly IN
creased in value since then, and while build
ing homes for themselves, others arc holding on to
their lots investment, feeling suge they w7l m
realty in the Miami district has increased during the
past ten years
Some idea of this increase in the value OF real estate
NAV be gained by the statement that in 1910 the
sessed real estate valuation S15o647 and in 1920
it was $56,450,000.
There is sound reason for this increase in real
SAIL and in 1921 the population is 4l,sls.

learned to-day that officials Of the In
stftution are planning to let the pris~
iners form an honor organization.
This organization. it was said, would
be patterned after the Mutual Welfare
League founded by Thomas Mott Os~
horne IN Sing Sing and other prisons.
Major Amos r. Baker, the super
intendent and the originator of the
honor class, Said that he is seriously
considering the plan to let the girls
try self-government. but prefer

Mr. Dumont's Investigations regarding
Miams Real Estate Possibilities decided
him to acquire outright other properties
and to take options great many more
which options he has been taking up
regularly and rapidIy--one having been
taken up as recently as May S.
The success Of the Montray Corporation in develop
ing properties in the North during the past 10 years
depressed realty markets. assurance of the sound
judgment and ability of Mr.. Durncnt and his asso-
ciates, and forecasts with their Mann prop
critics.
was at Westbury Long Island, where they developed
Westbury Park, now well built up, and then the
Wheatly Villas section of Westbury which IS pro-
nounced by many TO be the handsomest development
on Long Island, Every of Wheatiy Villas has
property bought from Henry Phipps, and one Of
the first sales of Villa plot was made to John D.
Phipps, Jr, his nephew.
Then they finished up the development of Garden
City Estates, North
Then they started small development at Hemp
stead, which was quickly closed out.
Then they acquired the 1ngraham estates at Hemp
stead located the railroad station, which is very
fine development.
There four developments in one-of the Ingraham
estates One two and three OF the developments are
practically closed out Number four development has

They own Mid Lake Park Lakewood, New Jersey,

some home.
In addition to Developments in and New York,
they have succeeded in dsposng OF valuable properties
in smaller communities They have had operations at
Red Bank and Toms River New Jersey, and they have
developed Montray Heights at Glen Falls N. Y
In regard to this Glen Falls development it is in
teresting to record this fact: While at Miami last
Winter Northerners a map of Montray
Heights, Glen Falls, in the Office of the Montray
Corporation, 400 Twelfth ST., Miami, Fla. They were
impressed with the development that they asked
the privilege of buying lots there for investment
purposes They dd want to the property; they
had confidence in MT Dumont and the Montray Cor
poraton, which is deserved by the way, because the
corporation is extremely careful sell properties based
facts and values only, and loophole exists
the integrity of title these properties Their
clients safeguarded in every way.
Mr. Dunont said to me the other day: I'VE operate.
| think little differently than realty corpora
tons. We would rather make 20 sales profit of
per net than to make sale profit of 100
per cent net. We GO after volume of business at
small profit instead Of small volume at big profit
In this way satisfactorily people and
naturally make many more friends"

Mr.. Dun7ont thinks his plan of devel-
oping property in and near Miami for
homes and investment purposes is the
biggest and best plan the Montray Cor
poration has ever worked on.
He never thought of undertaking development in
by going sto Miami and seeing for himself the
progress that ths wonderful city making he never
up the people of the North really great opportuni-
ties acquire holdings where they may wish to build
homes to buy lots acreage purely for investment
purposes.
If they buy homes they are sure to get tern
now at prices which bound to enhance in value,
and if they buy them for investment they are very
onnion Of a o tbe 0 ean tng OF
tor pleasure from October to the end OF May is that
Miami, in another decade or two, will surpass the
marvellous growth OF Los Angeles, Cal.
Mr.. Dunont has brought to the New York Offices
Of the Montray Corporation wonderful painting of
Miami and it's environment, which was made from
photographs taken from aeroplane 1t is accurate
it is marvellous and very much worth while looking
at On this painting indicated the properties that
the Montray Corporation are developing
Amy readers wishing to see this painting may call

If there those who cannot call at the New York

United States they may write to the Montray Cor
poration and they will be furnished with all infor-

The writer OF this article will be in Miami while
read it in this newspaper He will visit the prop
critics owned by the Montray Corporation, because
he cannot give his own impressions about place
without seeing it. It is only fair say that he is
visiting Miami at the suggestion of Mr. Dumont who
does not want him to take his sayso that of any
account

Introducing Earl Royce Dumont-
MIAMI and MONTRAY-
Names That United Bring Happiness


Feeling fit and fine again, Mr.. Dunaont was keen to
get back to work When he spoke about it to his wife,
she reminded him of his promise rest until Spring,
whereupon he said: Well if 1 can't go back North
I'm going to find something to do down here"
He had not failed to notice the pep and push of the
business people of Miami. He took account of the re-
markable growth of Miami in a few years time, and
he realized that it's wonderful climate was bound to
attract thousands of visitors every year, many
of whom would be delighted with living conditions
in this beautiful city that they would wish acquire
homes of their there.
Then and there an idea was born which Mr. Durnont
Immediately began to work out practical lines, be-
he is practical
The idea developed into other ideas with the result
that the combination of them all forms the basis
of good part of the activities of the Montray Cor
poration. These activities are uniting North and
South and making it easy for Northerners, to bring
into their lives perpetual sunshine and flowers.

a Sometimes the biggest ideas of mans
life come to him when he is away from the
daily grind.
Tn the Winter of 1e1s-te Mr. Durnont, who had
been working too hard, as do who are keen
about their business, persuaded by his family and
friends to go away for rest.
He went to Miami, Florida known the world
over as THE MAGIC CITY BEAUTIFUL" He
was accompanied by his wife, to whom he made SOL
ern promise he would return North until Spring
time
But when man really drops business cares and
goes at play in the way he goes at his business
he is bound recuperate quickly. Mr. Durnont went
fishing sailing motor-boating hydro-planing
or automobing daily for several weeks
AT night he sat OH a wide veranda smoking his pipe
dream. An active mind, vacation, cannot
sidesfep thoughts about the shop at home and the
boys who are working like nailers while the boss"
