Y OU can’t “talk suburban homes” without mentioning Long Island. It is the HOMELAND on the tongue ol 
everyone who loves all that the name HOME implies. When you go to Long Island you’re not a pioneer— 
thousands of homeseekers have blazed the trail; have settled there in congenial communities, established 
schools and churches, organized clubs for men and women; beautified the surroundings, caused stores of every 
description to be built. You’re not going to a land of promise, isolated from the world’s greatest amusement and 
business center. The transit facilities, like the improvements in each town, are there now. No one, seeing, denies 
the wonderful superiority of Long Island overall other suburban districts in climatic conditions, due to salt-water 
surroundings, the healthfulness resulting, its unique and endless variety of sports or recreations, its perfect roads, and 
physical advantages. 
A book has been written, profusely illustrated, showing this wonderful diversity of hills and 
plains, lakes, meadows, the wealth of water privileges (like nothing else in the world), its 
summer resorts and its wonderful climate. The book is for you. Do not turn aside from 
Long Island until you have written to the General Passenger Agent, Long Island Railroad, 
Room 371, Pennsylvania Station, New York, enclosing ten cents postage for your copy. 
The Long Island Railroad has spent millions of dollars to facilitate traveling, installing electric service, modern 
station buildings, and tunneling under the East river to the center of Manhattan, to the colossal $100,000,000 
Pennsylvania Station, Seventh Avenue and Thirty-second Street. 
Unlike other suburban sections that offer but one “lay of the land” for homeseekers to choose from, Long 
Island offers many, embodying hills, valleys, plains, farmland and the shores of beautiful bays, lakes, Sound and 
the mighty and majestic Atlantic Ocean. Think of it! Any condition and setting for a suburban home less 
than an hour away from the greatest city in the world. There is nothing like it, nothing to compare with the 
advantages offered homeseekers to locate on Long Island. Go there NOW to live. Have an early choice of its 
beauties, its investments, its opportunities for health, pleasure and profit; for the summer or for the year around
