It has bean established that there were between thirty and forty varietlra of nature trees In' the primeval forest of Cape May

County.

Chiefly among the forest trees i the hlghc! ground the oak id pine abounded, while In the wer swampy district im«. poplar. hoUy and while cedar flourished In profusion. Mu:h evidence still exists that often obtained mous dimensions In circumference and height. In fact, a number of magnlflclent specimens are still to be found throughout the county, whose branches .extended their protectlrg shadows over the abodes of the Red Men long before .tho appearance of the white

settlers.

There U. of course, no record of such long life In America, but there are oaks In England which are believed to have been old tree* In the time of William the Conqtierer It Is therefore quite reasonable to assume that some of these old specimens of oak. sassafras, cedar and poplar are many hundreds of years

The primeval forests were a source of wealth to the early Inhabitants and resulted in a ship building Industry of quite intensive proportions In the early days. With the Increase of population the cutting of trees for lumber and cord wood went rapidly on unul all of the nature forests were destroyed, with no provision being made for their restoration. and It Is more by accident than design that a few of the original tree* are yet

standing.

These living links In the chs'.n of human event* occurring in our county possess a unique historical value and should be preserved as long as possible. Among tbe largest and most beautiful of our native trees is the tulip tree

The Earth Do Move! When the common sense of the world argued against the revolution of the earth on its axis, it did so because it said. Common sense teaches us that if the earth moved we would feel its movements!” While nothing seems so still as the earth yet uncommon sense assures us that nothing moves so persistently. So real estate bought in Sea Isle City will move surely and profitably. Every indication points to a record-breaking season at the seashore generally and at SEA ISLE CITY IN PARTICULAR Real estate values here are still low; they have moved persistently forward for many years, but th -e has never been--and we hope never will be--a boom. This assures investors of steadily mounting values, BASED ON ACTUAL WORTH; . not unhealthy speculative values. Common sense dictates that you investigate Sea Isle City NOW. Note its location, its proximity to Atlantic City and Ocean City; its flawless beach; its straight boardwalk; its many public and private improvements now going on. You’ll be convinced that here is an ideal place to live; a safe place to invest; and a paradise for a summer vacation.
