The unusual success of the expo

to hold these expositions annually
so that there might be recorded the
progress and development of Wash

The exposition last year attracted
a daily attendance of from 10 to 10
thousand and gained great amount
of favorable comment because
of exhibits displayed. 1t was an

have been planned for the coming

BEACH
At TRACT|VE

The selection of location for a

eludes careful consideration of
roads, accessibility to Washington,
scenic beauty, fishing grounds,

community atmosphere, which make
for contentment of the human eie-
ment and permanency for the de-

Breton Beach adequately meets
those tests. 1t is situated not far
from the great Chesapeake, where

G. Herbert Chappelear has pro-
ceeded to improve the property in

Date those buying in his sub-divi-

that a timely suggestion advan-
