AMERICAN HOMES AND 
Have you ever tasted real Southern cooking 
—the old negro “mammy” kind? Do you know 
the taste of Virginia “Corn Pone,” Fried Chicken 
or Smithfield Ham? How about Oysters, Terrapin, 
Crab and Fish fresh from the water toyou? And 
every kind of vegetable of a quality which only the 
mellow, ideal climate of the South makes possible. 
This is the kind of food for which The Chamberlin 
is famous, and the cooking—delicious—the mere 
memory of it will bring its delights smacking to 
your lips again. The daily menus-are elaborate, 
the service is perfect. You will be hungry, tco— 
the invigorating ozone-laden sea breezes, the pine- 
laden land breezes, the wholesome recreation 
will take care of that.

Easy to Reach—Unique Location 
The Chamberlin is centrally located and easily 
reached from anywhere. No other resort is so 
uniquely situated, right at Fortress Monroe, the 
centre of military activities, and Hampton Roads, 
the rendezvous of the Nations’ warships. From 
the dining-room of The Chamberlin you may view 
the most magnificent marine panorama in the 
world. Military and Naval activities, magnificent 
sea pool and medicinal baths, pure air and choice 
of recreations are a few of the reasons why this is 
The Ideal Year Round Resort for Rest and Recreation.
