RECOGNIZE WORK OF CITY LEAGUE OTHER RESORTS LOOK TO CAPE MAY ORGANIZATION AS A MODEL OF AGGRESSIVENESS AND ACTION. The Young Men's Progressive League of- this city, says teh Ocean City Ledger," will have to watch their step or the Cape May ' Progressive League will leave them miles in the L rear for aggressiveness and getting , things done. One of the big things . the- Cape May League has accom- [ plished is the erecting of a large , sign on the shore road near the en- [• trance to Wildwood that attracts the r attention of every automobilist who \ , passes. On the sign is pictured a t lighthouse with an actual light 0 in , operation. The' light flashes and -in j its rays is the lettering' calling attention to Cape May.
