Of course it can't be done, but then it has to be done very
often. That is the plight of Pinehurst at the present time,
and has always been the plight of every growing town, just
as it always has been here. And it always will have to be
done whether it can be or not.
This winter is no exception to the rule of turning away
thousands of people who want accommodations at Pinehurst
at the height of the season. The management enlarges the
hotels, builds new cottages, extends all facilities, and when
the season arrives finds everything crowded just the same.
More room finds more demands on it.
The increasing crowds tell what the people think of Pine
hurst, and why it is a good business proposition to have some
where in the community some building sites for some houses.
The big crowds are a sufficient guarantee of the future of
the Sandhill country. Think for a minute what the Pinehurst
of five years from now will be.
THE REAL ESTATE SECTION AT THE GENERAL
OFFICE WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS
SUBJECT WITH YOU.
