Slaughter Beach

/ al scenery is cOncerneus OlduSuIel
Beach with its beautiful sandy
beach and other attractive features
far surpasses any other point on the
Delaware Bay. AS a quiet family
place of rest it cannot be excelled
The bathing is safe at all times fol-
both adults and children and is free
from the dreaded undertow which
claims so many lives at the water
ing places situated on the ocean
front. We have fish, crabs and CLANS
in abundance and for those who are
fond of sea food it can be served at
all meals at a nominal cost. At this
nOint those who seek haven far
remote from the noise and strife OF
CITY life can find the ideal home and
enjoy the sea breezes and be lulled
to sleep at night time by the cease
less roll of the waves as they beat
unon the shore. If you are an invalid
and need those life giving remedies
which only nature provides, come
here and in the open enjoy the free
dom from those things which annoy
and retards your recovery. Breath
ing the pure salt air and eating
those foods fresh from the sea will
soon build up your weak system and
YOU will soon regain that ROBUST
health which all need in fighting the
battles of life. If you are a sports
man and enjoy fishing we have pow
or boats here at all times, which
will convey you to the coral beds
and Won can have the time of your
life in catching those large trout
which are plentiful at this time. DO
YOU enjoy grabbing, If so, the pier
will satisfy your wants in that re-
spect. as the people who engage IN
the snort have been making large
catches of the crustacean race
which are of unusual size. Are you
fond of claiming? If so here you
! can crafty your wishes by digging
from its hidden home the bivalves
which when made into chOwder or
frftters, makes a meal which causes
a person to feel at peace with the
world and all mankind. The hotel
here is of the best, under the man
agement of Mr. Salevan, the old hos
teIrv has won the confidence of the
Dublic and never since the days
when George Malo and Edward Rey-
nolds had charge of the place has
anv one served the splendid meals
which Mr.. Salevan is now doing. The
grounds are attractive and well kept.
The tennis court and dance hall af-
fords plenty of amusement for the
Young people. Surely Slaughter
Reach has entered an era of great
nrosperity and if Mr.. Salevan con-
tinues as proprietor and continues TO
serve the public as he is now doing,
this old resort will become one of
the most important summer places
on the Delaware Bay. Pure arteslan
well water, and fresh vegetables of
all kinds direct from the nearby
