Ocean City has enjoyed a successful real estate year during the past

twelve months.

New buildings of moflern architectural design and constructioq have been constructed. Greater Interest has been exhibited In the real estate activities In Ocean City and to all Intents and purposes tbe entire program for the past year has netted thousands of dollars for the local

dealer In land and homes.
