PERSONS FROM EVERY
ETATE FOR DEL-MAR-VA
Over Five Thousand Inquiries Have
Been Received Asking Information

Inquiries from every State in the
Union; ten Provinces in Canada
and from ten foreign points, backed
by hundreds of visits by those in
terested, is the finding by recapitu-
lation just compiled by the Del-Mar-
Va Eastern Shore Association, Of the
results of it's first ten months ad-
vertising and publicizing the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore.
A total of 5,784 written inquiries
are on file at the Association Offices,
with a majority seeking specific in
formation relative to the Peninsula
as a place in which to live. These
inquiries have come from every
section of the United States-points
at extreme distances as well as
from states within a radius of three
or four hundred miles. Canada and
the far west, as well as Florida
and the far South, with the New
England States and Middle West
have been the sources of much Of
the inquiry.
Among the foreign points from
which inquiry has come are Egypt,
England, Germany, Holland, Mex
leo, South America and Spain. Even
distant Alaska, the Canal Zone and
Cuba are among the points where
residents sought information as a
result of being attracted by the
Associations advertising and pub
licity program.
