Washington for Permanent
Vacation Each Year

With the approach of the
Fourth Of July, the families of
Washington are planning their
annual exodus Of a day, week or
month away from the heat and
noise of the city.
The open spaces, the noun
tains, the seashore and the camp,
beckon the many city dwellers.
Nature with the apt skill of the
master merchant silently displays
her gorgeous charms, and the
promise of days of sunshine, ad-
venture, health, rest and pleasure.
One major difficulty faces the
.vacationist who plans to spend
his summer holidays near Wash
tngton and that is that there are
so many communities to choose
from that it is hard to decide just
where to go.
With many families this has
been definitely settled by securing
at lot in some nearby shore COM
munity and building a summer
cottage to suit the requirements
of the family and thus forever
putting an end to the aggravating
vacation question which springs
up each summer, where shall
we go?"
Good Vacation Spot
Long Beach, Washington's new
est bay shore community, is prov
ing the answer to this question
for many Washingtonians, who
are buying and building in that
popular Maryland development.
Long Beach is not a resort, but
q carefully restricted summer
home community, with a wonder
full salt water bathing beach
nearly mile long as major at
traction. Another feature that
adds to it's popularity is the fact
that nearly every home site is
covered with fine shade trees
providing cool comfort to the cot
tages during the hot summer days.
According to Leon Ackerman,
general manager of Long Beach,
Inc, popularity always and ever
must be the proof of the charm
of a summer home community,
and when hundreds of Washing
tonians have. within the short
space Of a year, selected Long
Beach as the place for their
future summer home, there must
be a special charm that appeals
to many people. Added to this
charm is the fact that extremely
low prices have prevailed at this
new development since it's open
ing last year, thus affording the
average family an opportunity 20
secure summer home site and a
wonderful investment even with
reduced incomes and curtailed
budgets.
Summer Homes Popular
Each year hundreds of addi-
.tional families buy summer home
D sites on easy payments, and after
the site is paid for they erect
their summer home and from
then on the question of where the
family shall go for their summer
vacation is forever settled. When
each summer rolls around it is
like "old home week" to again get
settled in the summer cottage.
Each tree, each favorite fishing
spot, the best part of the beach
for bathing, all seem like old-time
friends and welcome each mem
ber of the family with pleasant
recollections. Days of swimming
and fishing and nights of laugh
ter and dancing put the whole
family in trim by the end of the
summer so that they return to the
city refreshed and eager for the
office, shop or school.
Long Beach is making prepara-
ton to entertain many guests
this weekend and the Fourth, and
many of them will, without doubt,
select homesite and make this
popular watering place their sum
mer home, thus solving the fam
lily vacation place for once and all.
