HERE has been an unprecedented demand for summer 
rentals along the North Shore the coming summer; 
in fact a great many of the rentable places were leased 
last summer and fall, and up to the present time more 
cottages and estates have been leased for the coming 
summer than any other year, says the office of T. Dennie 
Boardman, Reginald and R. deB. Boardman of the Ames

lowing rentals along the Manchester and Beverly shore:
