WASHINGTON, i@, JANUARY 17 1926 —PART 6. o 00 %1 0 VD EETECEY ~ 7 277 75,7 4 7 A, '////,'1////,,’////, i, ““The Bay of Naples is generally considered somewhat more beautiful than Sara- sota Bay. Many times I have seen it and most of the other famous harbors of the world. But, always I have come back proud to think that here in America, in balmy Florida, we have one of the earth’s most dclightful beauty spots.” I Am Building Another Winner in Which You May Share Millions of people have come to associate my name with the building of winning combinations. For this, I am deeply appreciative. I have worked with might and main to build great baseball teams for those whose interests I served. And I have had more than the usual amount of success—for which I thank those I have chosen to work with me. Today I am building something to last long after my ball teams are forgotten. I am building something to make the name of John J. McGraw stand for something permanently worthwhile. It is my hope that people in years to come will thank me for giving them the chance to find health, happiness and opportunity on the shores of matchless Sarasota Bay. Here I am building a beautiful community, Pennant Park, to be enjoyed not by a few stockholders, but by a thousand or two people who have confidence in me. Some will find health and pleasure here. Many will share in its recreational and social features. Many others will find unusual profits here. This is my hope and plan, and I believe that I have covered every possibility which assures success. I believe that Pennant Park is the greatest winning combination I have ever managed. All who know baseball, know how I took the New York Giants to city after city, searching for an ideal place to train. Finally I came to Sara- sota. I fell in love with the place. More than that, my boys usually went North in better physical trim than other teams and succeeded in getting the “jump”’ in the big league race. So I have come to share the belief that, people in Sarasota live longer, live healthier, enjoy life more fully than the people of most any other city in the country. The Winning Combination I Am Building For You In building a winner the first step is to pick the right people. My first move was to asociate with me Mr. A. S. Skinner of Sarasota. For several years I have been in a position to observe all the important developers in Florida, and Mr. Skinner is a winner. His judgment has been unerring, his ideas big, and his reputation most enviable. The finest type of citizens of Sarasota follow him implicitly. Follow a winner! Mr. Skinner and I looked over proposition after proposition before we picked the site of Pennant Park. We consider it iderl from every angle. It stretches along beautiful Sarasota Bay, between Sarasota and Bradenton. It is high and dry. From every part of Pennant Park your eye travels over the sapphire-blue waters of the Bay. It is beautiful property, and we were able to buy it right —which means a great saving to all who buy homesites or make investments in Pennant Park. This fact is the keystone of this winning combination. It explains why we have been able to set prices much lower than was expected. It par- tially explains why many people in Sarasota who never before bought lots in a real estate development have invested in Pennant Park. The Final Factor Which Brings Success I have always worked with people who know how to spend a dollar to make dollars. I have always been able to secure the confidence of men who had both vision and sufficient money to bring success. Pennant Park is no exception to this rule. I and my associates have all the money required to carry on the huge development program already under way. Pennant Park will have wide boulevards with white lights and, of course, every city improvement and comfort. Beautiful palms and other tropical trees and plants will make Pennant Park a scene of southern splendor. A magnificent Yacht Club will be a center of social activities and every owner in Pennant Park will be a life member. I am building my organization the way I build ball teams. I get the best third baseman, or pitcher, I can buy. I fill every position with the best man I can secure. Likewise, in the creation of Pennant Park. The best landscape architect, the best sculptors, the best engineers, Call personally or telephone Tohn 1. McGraw's Washington Pennant Park Of the best architects I can secure will make Pennant Park a beauty spot supreme. My One Personal Whim I will gratify one personal whim. In all other respects I will turn over the building of Pennant Park to the group of winners I have gathered together. But the principal thoroughfare will be known as Mathewson Avenue, so that Pennant Park will be a monument to my friend, the greatest pitcher of all time, “Christy’” Mathewson. Keeping Down the Overhead Expense Pennant Park will not be loaded with unnecessary expense. We are not going to bring hundreds of people down here from all over creation and pay their expenses. We are not going to. force buyers of lots in Pennant Park to pay for tons of fancy printing. We are going to put all that money into creating value, into building a magnificent develop- ment where you can enjoy life at its best, or profit from the increased values that have already started. I think there are enough people who have confidence in me, and enough people who want to live on Sarasota Bay, to more than sell out every lot in Pennant Park. It doesn’t need to be saddled with extra expense. Results to date indicate I am right. The property is selling rapidly. Hundreds of people are anxious to get in on the ground floor. You can be one of them. Pre-development prices are moderate —extremely mod- erate. When big-scale construction gets under way, values are sure to rise, and with them, prices. Hundreds of people, many of them strangers to me, have asked me to choose a lot—or lots—for them. I will gladly do it for you. I pyomise no enormous profits but believe they will be made. I do promise that every claim made for the property can be substantiated, and every promised improvement will be an accomplished fact. I do promise a good honest run for your money, and many men have counted on that promise and have backed hundreds of thousands of dollars on my judgment. I would be glad to have you join them. JOHN ]J. McGRAW, Sarasota, Florida o, Dutch Ructher will gladly give you any information vou desire regarding this great development. PRICE LIST First Payment of $625 buys a $2,500 Homesite.
