Mr.. Geist paid $7,000.o00 cash for
the 10000 acres between Palm
Beach and Fort Lauderdale, which
is being established as an exclusive
colony for the ultra rich. The pro-
ject was begun by the Miner De-
velopment Corporation, but came
to a standstill with the bankruptcy
of the company.
Launched on Boom.
Purchase was made by the truS-
tees in bankruptcy, and follows a
long litigation in courts and dissen-
sion among the officers of the COM
pany. The project was launched
early in the Florida boom, with
such directors as General 7. Cole
man dupont, Jesse L. Livermore,
Holiday E. Needs, Louis H. Bean
and st. George Brooke Tucker
Disagreement between the direc-
tors and the Miner brothers, who
were managers, followed soon after
and several of the wealthy direc-
tors left the company.
Miner not so long ago yielded
his control and the Central Equi-
ties Corporation was organized to
assume control.
Within six months after it's or
ganization the Miner Corporation
was credited with having sold $780,
100000 of lots in the development.
Additional sales of $11,000, 900 have
been reported since that time. At
the time OF the recent re-organiza-
tion it was reported that about
s2l 100000 was owing on the SAL
100000 of land sold.
Mr.. Geist, in announcing his pur-
chase of the property, revealed
that he was taking up all the out
standing mortgages on the proper
ty, that all Boca Ration investors
would be protected and that prop
erty holders will be able to secure
clear title.
Extensive improvements will be
made, says Mr.. Geist, and Cloister
Inn, winter resort hotel, will be re-
opened in January.
Believes in Mainland.
Mr.. Geist, as head of great
company serving this district, and
as leading member of a Mainland
golf club, has taken a great interest
i'll Mainland civic affairs in recent
years. 1t was only recently, in ad-
dressing a gathering of Pleasant
Vile business men, that he urged
this city to move for the organiza-
tion OF a modern chamber OF con
merce, with paid secretary He
offered to pay half the salary of
such a secretary for one year in
order to encourage the project. The
offer still holds good.
The instance is only one of ma
ny in which the capitalist has dem
onstrated his belief in the future
of the Mainland and an interest in
its growth.

Ellen made it plain. 1t was hard

she could.

anger soon cooled. After all. she had
some common sense. and her long.
expensive illness had taught her many
things.

making another beefsteak pie.

fully from the window. Julia was
