The difficulties in the way its erection because of the loca- i upqjh "No Man's land" havte n removed. These difficulties were IfUfregard to water and sewage, and i contract has been signed by the Sa iitary District of Chicago agree- to connect the Hotel directly with e North Shore Channel.

The cost ^=frlaced *t-two and one half million dollars and already thirty-five partments have been disposed of. This is. a novel home owning plan originated by a group of business and professional men who desire to secure exclusiveness and seclusion in the home which the ownershm of' an in- dividual home jdoesA not always guar- antee. ":.:â- :â- }?;%';â-  .'ffff.^ Very careful arrangements both sit the building plan and in the selection" of owners, have been made, so that these requirements shall be preserved. To secure the best ideas regarding the management of such an establish- ment, they have-covered this coun- try and continental Europe. From the Parisian Falansteries and the belt equipped hotels in Europe and Amer- ica they have secured ideas upon ar- rangement and management which vwU guarantee a combination secur- ing all owners the advantages of cityv suburban and resort life combined. The main building-will contain 120 apartments of four, five and six rooms, with hotel, restaurant, grill rooms, coffee - shops, commissaries, drug store, physicians' and dental of- fices, gymnasium, garage facilities ac- commodating at least 120 cars, with a perambulator and playroom for the children during the months they are prevented by the weather from mak- ing use of the sand beach. It is estimated that the multiple ownership plan will save about fifty per cent of the cost compared to leasing a like apartment building or owning a private home with the same beautiful surroundings. It is certain ♦hat more than fifty per cent of the annoyances, inconveniences and hard work needed to manage a privaW house will be %lim\$j$ffat,>i«<v~,«.....m-râ€":--r ISforfHllw^ create* accommodations than can be found in ahy other hotel in the Chi- cago district. The servant question is settled for all time by the purchase of a home in this establishment. The greatest objection the individual home owner has to face, that of a possible change in neighborhood, has been re* moved by the selective method which the Company areputting inter ieffect^ A* committee formed fronai those who have already purchased apartments will handle future applications and paiss upon the desirability of the ap- piicants. :^-. "^M^§;--- fefilP '- .#^' Our ideals of home life are chang- ing. A representative of the Company Who has been in Europe has made the statement that fifty years from now there will not be a castle in Europe occupied as a residence. The British aristocracy are living" in hunt- ing lodges and tovim houses in pre-^ Terence t^ handling a great retinue of servants^ The real aristocracy of America are the business arid professional people. Changing conditions have made It im- possible to secure the right kind of help in managing a home. Beach Manor will remove all these difficulties. AH the seclusion of a country home is guaranteed, yet just outside your door you will find all the social pleasure needed to make life ktnson happy and complete. So many claims are made upon the society woman of today that she is likely to become a hervous wreck if she has the care of ah individual home upon* her shoul- ders. Beach Manor does not take away from her the joy of housekeep- ing, but removes all the petty an* noyances and gives her freedom to run her home in any manner she finds most suitable. :.'..*/. The sound proof walls insure quiet* ness. The; electrical ranges, mechan- ical refrigeration, and all modern de- vices make it possible for her to dis- pense with any help if she so desires. If not, the management will make ar- rangements for the rendering of any service necessary*â€"Should she require to entertain a larger number of guests than she can accommodate in her own apartment, there will be at her dis- posal guest rooms of various sizes, so that any kind of reception or any form of entertainment can be furn- ished'her guests. The building ami grounds will cover a four hundred foot frontage with a Stretch of sandy beach equal to any- thing to be found' along the lake shore. The owners will have their own yacht club and the boating facil- ities and accommodations will be complete; as well as the privilege of bathing in the lake, ^^mJa^^swmmmB^ The location of Beach.

You Wouldn't care to patronize a doctor who sells merely ^ills, or a tailor who sells only cloth. An automobile dealer sells,, transportation,^ g so . why think of him as one who sells only a car? We sell our customer satisfac- tory transportation. Our knowledge- and experience lead us to4 recommend the splendid ^«ew Dodge Brothers and Wills Sainte Claire models. Our- equip- ment for service to carf assures the assures the easy access of almost fifty country clubs, with' doxen of large private homes in the neighborhood bickerf by a most wonderful arboretum of trees, gardens and lawns, with a view of the lake i6i miles from practically all *pa|rtinents, constructed sb that there win be sunshine in each for the major portion of the day, nothing could be more desirable. From a practical standpoint, the easy access by road and rai|, with the fact that Chicago telephone service without tbll will 1>e installed, makes Beach Manor an ideal location for the busy executive, pro- fessional or business man, who de- sires to spend the greater portion of the year near his interests in Chicago. | Atthe same time, the careful selec- ,. ; iiiiji mini iiwi .iiiii'irinMiffiiiini'ii.r ii.i) my».fM^\'^pm^^ tion of owners insures the protection .of his family socially. :-'^Z?.^<&;--im. ; ,;TIw*'€toiimairyi;wder;?tils^rttt of Beach Manor, Inc., have opened office* at 11 S.
