The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1924-04-12

A frst-class Hotel and several ~up-to-date boarding
houses are to be found here, the rates at which are much
lower than for like accommodations In Atlantic City.
If you are contemplating an industry of any kind,
Pleasantvile is the location, where land is to be had In
abundance, labor is plentiful and facilities are ample for
removing the finished product.
AS an ideal location for manufacturing enterprises,
Pleasantville 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
accommodates with the necessary land for buildings and
other purposes. Greater Pleasantvile, including Smiths
Landing, Oakhurst and Blenheim, all within the corpo-
rate limits, covers an area of approximately seven square
miles, and as a business and residential section is only
surpassed in Atlantic County by Atlantic City. 1t is
situated on elevated ground twenty or 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. illumined at night.
1t is the main Great Entrance to Famous Atlantic
City. But Five Miles to the Boardwalk.

u 1OR those of moderate means who cannot afford
the lavish living of Atlantic City, Pleasantvile is
WE# the answer Here one. can rent attractive cot
tages at about a third or half the rentals for like
properties in Atlantic City. Or, if the desire is to pur-
chase, a proportionate price can be obtained. There
are trolley lines running at frequent intervals to and from
the Queen Resort. Then there are two railroad lines,
giving excellent service, making the run across the mea-
dows in 9 minutes. The saving in rent alone will many
times pay the necessary riding expenses.
The Hard Surface Meadow Boulevard, which thous-
ands of automobiles from practically every State in the
Union and many foreign countries, traverse every sum-
mer season, is entered at Pleasantvile. This Boulevard,
maintained at an annual expense of thousands of dol
lars to the county, is approximately five miles in length,
and crosses the meadow lands that separate Pleasant
vile and Atlantic City.
The White Horse Pike, the main boulevard from
Philadelphia to Atlantic City, which is paved with con-
crete, connects with the Shore Road, passing through the
centre of Pleasantvile. A Warrenite surface boulevard
is completed through PleasantviIle to Mays Landing, the
two main highways to Philadelphia.

to the scene by the emergency police

AS the Industrial school officials with
the two girls in charge drove off. the
latter made open boast that they would
soon escape again and would call at
the police station here as they liked
the place fine. In all their wild resist
ance against those who were endeavor-
ing to keep them under control there
were no Mysteries. no sobs. no attitude
of hopelessness. The two slightly
built lassies fought a game losing bat
tie, cleanly and as true sportsmen.
They merely smiled as they found
themselves cverpowered. and shrugged
their shoulders with a prophecy that
they would soon gain their freedom

were those amongst the observers of

Indeed 1t did seem crying shame that
such energy could not be directed along
proper channels TO the benefit of the
two girls and society at large.

The snow had settled much and
