Sea Isle City Has Come Into Its Own Last week, through this office, over $50,000 worth of real estate changed hands--all small deals, lots and houses. In several cases these sales will mean improvements of a permanent and pleasing character. This week activity is even greater and so it will continue throughout the season, for Sea We City has--at last--come into its own. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY when you can enjoy the Hse of the house you buy for the summer season, or while you still have time to build a house for occupancy this summer. Sea Isle City has more improvements going on at this time, public and private, than at any one time in thirty years. AND IT IS ONLY THE START. This means steadily and solidly increasing demand for real estate, and steadily advancing prices. ' The wise investor has seen this and has acted, or he will within the NEXT FEW WEEKS.
