Dollars and cents restrictions mean little or nothing . On a plot of sufficient size, in an a~tistic landscape setting of your own chool)i ng. a type and size of home can be built to meet your particular requirements. It m,1 y be fairly modest in cost and yet fit in with the general landscape and architcctur.ll plan . Restrictions will be reasonable. only such as are for the common . good. Large plots and agreed locations for houses on tl , plots togc.ther with landscaping to bbutify and not to obscure will assure al w Jys a wonderful outlook.

The prices asked for it will quickly assure you that when it does change hands. and is built upon, only fine homes can go in here. And also remember that by virtue of thi~ particular loc"tion, and the plan upon which it is laid out-Westmoor Trial will be a little world all its own. .Just onr thing more-note particularly in the plan on the succeeding pages how little Ltndscaping there is and yet how effecti\'C. No masses of trees here. If you expect a dense forest here, you are doomed to dis~ppointment. Trees? Yes-look in any direction and you have trees for a background. But masses of trees here to obscure~ No! This is open land-open to the sunshine. Everything to pres"·rvc the view. \Ve all lo\'C trees-we w.1nt them. But we also love sunshine and thl' open spaces.
