To that end they have Boca Raton to one of the world's master architects—ADDISON MIZNER. The One-Hundred-Milion-Dollar Development Program is going ahead at a rapid pace. The $6,000,000 Ritz-Carlton Hotel will soon be under construction. The exclusive Cloister Inn, on the shores of beantiful Lake Boca Raton, will open its doors next Christmas Day. Such homes as the world has never seen before—bearing the stamp of Mr. Mizner's genfus—are now being designed. In the very near future, they will be playing on the Cloister Golf Course, laid out by Donald J. Ross, and two other courses planned by W. 8. Flynn will be built soon.
