(Continued from Page One) Consensus of opinion amon_ most resort business people was that this year’s holiday period compared favorably with that <Sf last year, and bank deposits made on Monday, followw the holiday, proved that Cape May business had experienced one of its greatest holiday booms in years. Similar reports were made by other Cape May County and South Jersey resorts. Commenting on the success of last weekend in all county resorts, Director P. H. Jackson, of the Board of Freeholders, head of the county’s advertising and publicity bureau, said: “I have conferred with bank officials and municipal authorities in the various sections of the county on the business transacted over the Fourth and I have received very encouraging optimistic replies. .

“Real estate agents, too, report having consummated rentals for the balance of the summer, with many reservations being made at the various hotels." Director Jackson added that in some of the larger resorts of the county, many establishments, particularly restaurants, exhausted their supplies late Saturday

night.

’ Captains of the resort beach .atrols declared the crowd over the holiday period was the largest this season, and at some hours of the day appeared to match or surpass the figure of a year ago, which was considered to have been an all-time record. “I feel certain now," Director Jackson concluded, “that the word ‘gloom’ will not be used in Cape May County for some time.

"Please send me 10c worth of electricity—today 1 If YOU had to order your day’r supply of electricity fresh every morning, you’d appreciate even more how little it costs and how much it does for you. Actually, about two-thirds of all American families light their homes and run radios, cleaners, toasters, percolators, clocks and washers for a dime a day — or lest! What’s more, that dime buys just about twice as much electricity for the family as it did fifteen years ago! These bargains don’t just happen. They come from the electric industry’s constant effort to give you good service at low rates. They are made possible by practical, efficient business management. That’s the American way — and it works! It works so well that even though America is pouring record-breaking amounts of electric power into the world’s greatest production of planes, tanks, ships and guns—you still get low-cost current at the flick of « switch ht your home!

pital would cost 3125>(K)0.
