THE LURE OF THE COUNTRY 
C OUNTRY homes have at- ' 
traded metropolitan folk 
since the dawn of history. 
The outlying districts of Babylon 
were dotted with homes; many of 
the immortals of Rome and Athens 
dwelt in neighboring hamlets. 
Yovir true Parisian or Londoner 
would not dream of foregoing the 
pleasures of a country estate. 
The resident of overcrowded, humid New 
York, more than anyone else, is in a po¬ 
sition to appreciate the country. 
In Greenwich are estates that end)ody 
all the charm and scenic splendor of 
European villas, coupled with comforts 
and train service only to be found in 
.America. 
Always available in Greenwich is the re¬ 
markable real estate service conducted 
by Mr. Thomas N. Cooke. This service 
not only comprises the sale of estates, 
but every detail involved in giving con¬ 
tinued satisfaction to clients.
