THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., DECEMBER 14, 1930—PART ONE. \ A How Long Is 15 Years? 1) e i s N You Have a Right to Know T TAKES Nature generations to create a stately shade tree. But, owing to entirely preventable causes, it takes man but ten to fifteen years to destroy America’s finest city residential sections in the name of commerce and progress. Proof of the latter statement abounds in statistical form. Or better yet—pause and reflect—where and what are the fine homes—the splendid neighborhoods of Washington’s yesterdays? ® . . Those who know assert that Washington is today one of the world’s most rapidly developing cities. And riding high on this flood-tide of expansion come the apartment, the monotonous row house, nondescript architecture, and other disturbing influences, wholly at variance with the fine ideals of American home life. . . L] Where then may a man find protection from the encroachment of commerce and haphazard residential developments. Where may he find a secure haven with the certainty of permanent community character. Strathmeade—the Planned Community—embodying the best knowledge obtainable today is the solution to his problem. For Strathmeade completely meets the present day demand for a closer association of resi- dence and recreation, school and play, beauty and utility, under conditions at once ideal, practical, and permanent. Here in Strathmeade one can buy and build wholly confident that the integrity of his home and neighbor- hood will always be protected. Here home idzals will always be supreme for you—your children—your chil- dren’s children. = The outstanding features of Strathmeade are many and varied. They have been planned expressly for > = ¥ = ¢ you and yours—not for fifteen years or even fifty NN S S e T . , years—but for genmerations. For time-proven safe- N p guards protect every Strathmeade home, regardless of its cost. The 1,311 broad acres of Strathmeade embrace more than two square miles of gently rolling wood=d coun- tryside in Fairfax County, Va., 25 minutes from the White House, on the historic Lee Highway.
