THE GRAVES FARM SUCCESS ; PRODUCTS PLEASE VISITORS , A! Head of Stile Board of Uealtk's List af Bairyiag Enterprises ia This State During the last summer it was very gratifying to hear the (cottagers who used the cream, milk, eggsand broilers . from Mr. N. Z. Graves' Farmstead . continuous ty talk about the delicious output named, especially jthoee having young children, s A larger number than ever of Cape r May's patrons visited the Farmstead s and they were very enthusiastic after their investigations aa to the sanitary features and the cleanliness of the em1 pioyees in handling the product. Mr. 1 Joseph McKiasic, manager of the b Farmsteads, was always favorably 1 commented upon by all the visitors for bis coqrteous treatment to them. Quite a number of the guests asked at B different times the pleasure of meet1 ing the owner, Mr. Nelson Z. Graves. r As they put it, they v. e anxious to • shake the hand of suci. s progressive ' and broadminded man. A .prominent New York banker of large experience, who had visited Briarcliff and other j high class dairies in the vicinity of . New York, said, "The Farmstead Is the equal if not the superior of any of ' the similar places which I have visited." He also said, "Any practical man can see that Mr. Graves is not running the Farmstead on a narrow g gauge, money making basis but on g broad sanitary lines." This gentlee man was a guest at the Hotel Cape May and visited the Farmstead. In j connection with tms gentleman's ree marks the New Jersey .Slate Board of e Health classes the Farmstead of Cape t May at the top of their list. During the summer these were a number of comments on Mt. Graves' ; -absence, he having been a Tegular vieB ltor to Cape May for a number of t years. We sent one of 6ur reporters to e inquire regarding Mr. Graves' abseuce during the summer and were informed that owing to Mr. Graves' large business interests it was impossible tor him 10 leave Philadelphia this summer. Another very good reason was that Mr. Graves has recently purchased one of the largest lead mines iu the world in the state ot California and is buildiug his own railroad to this mine. It , is said that Mr. Graves has been mak- ' ii.g preparations to extend his white ' lead and paint business. Another reason fur our being anxious to hear from Mr. Graves at the time r. ferred to was that Mr. Graves had been elected a director of the Hotel Cape May and we thought I that more good news in the way of improvements or addition to this magnificent structuie, but at the time we were disappointed when told by one of Mr. Graves' personal representatives teat Mr. Grave* had declined to serve on the Hotel Boaru of Directors and gave as his reason the fact that a most 1 every week .he has opportunities to go on boards of oitferent institutions in j which be is interested and is

! solicited to go,inUyiew,enterpri8es with ' i view of getting the benefit of his i j very comprehensive business judgI ; meut. This personal friend of Sir - Graves informed us that Mr. ei raves' ■ ; .-nswer was the same to one and all, that the numerous enterprises he ; controlled occupied his entire time. ' ! This paper's hope, however, as well ' as that ox the people ot Cape May, is ' that no ma- ter how many Mr. Graves' - • numerous business responsibilities may ' | be, that he will never lose his interest in this resort, because our citizens to a ' I man are oue and all never done singing I his praises for the many things he has ' j done for Cape May. May he live and | ! prosper. ' | FOR FALL CLOTHING U New consignments of latest clothes "are now ready for your inspection at I I Van Kessel's. 424 Washington street.
