THE REAL ESTATE MART 
A REAL HOME aiid 
HOW TO GET IT! 
Most every one now-a-days, would like to have a charming spot in the country, that they could call 
A-Rcal-Home. 
It is impossible to call any spot in our Cities today, A-Real-Home, for the noise, dirt, dust, automobiles, 
gasoline, smoke, and ever encroaching business, makes it not only unpleasant, but unhealthy. 
Hotels and apartments are nice for short stays, but like traveling, one gets mighty tired of it and longs 
for the needed rest from the social whirl, or the cares of business—then that ideal spot in the country 
is the dearest and best of all. 
If you haven’t A-Real-Home, let me help you get one, where you can enjoy boating and bathing, along 
the Ocean fronts. New York State or New Jersey, or either shore of Long Island Sound, including the 
wonderfully popular North Shore, and the shores of either side of the beautiful and historic Hudson 
River, as well as the world famous Northern New Jersey Hills, which afford natural beauties not 
found elsewhere, with their natural lakes, virgin forests, etc. 
My specialty is, fine Estates, Farms and Suburban Homes, within 100 miles, any sice, and any direction 
out of New York City. Write me for particulars of what you want, giving me some idea of your 
requirements, and about how much you would like to invest in your country home. Shall be glad to 
furnish particulars upon receipt of inquiry, and you will be under no obligations whether you pur¬ 
chase or not.
