IN THIS CONNECTION it will be found that the tour
it trade is crying for this type Of accommodations. Let US
suppose that a man and his wife would like to spend three
months in St. Croix, but neither has the money nor the de-
sire to stay in a hotel with its necessarily high daily rate.
Then what? There ought to be some sort Of cottage where
he could set up temporary, but comfortable housekeeping,
at nominal costs.
N WE VENTURE to say that this type Of housing
could give the owners a substantial return in their invest
ment, with all the element of risk either totally removed, or
so very small that it would be negligible.
H is A MATTER which might well be looked into,
It is a necessity, a sound investment, and loaded with posi-
biities.
