Many Visitors At Long Beach Up-State Property Owners Spent Past Week End En joying Indian Summer Holiday Some fifty or more cars from up-state and out of state were at Long Beach Sunday looking into the prospects for develop ment. The visitors included a Jiomber of very prominent busi ness men fron\ outside of Bruns wick county. Ernest Middleton, sales mana ger for the Carolina Lands, own ers of the several thousand acres, says that several sizable deals are pending. Some of them in volve early construction. However Mr. Middleton does not think that much actual construction will get underway until after the New 1'ear holiday. To start right now, would carry things through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New "Sear. Such holidays would be colstly' to those engaged in construction, i especially those living at a dis-; i tance. The general trend of things is 'to get ready and really begin i building the first week in Jan j uary. Several parties who have re-1 cently bought property in the new j model resort town section of Long. Beach already have their plans' drawn for construction. They say! that they are only waiting for! .the first of the year, when they can begin and go forward with out interruption. In addition to I (the builders in the new area of the resort, it seems that a lot of ithe 1300 property owners in the {.original part of the resort are 'also preparing to start up with the construction of homes by the ffirst of the year. Many of them are not waiting 'for the first of the year. There jis much new construction and re Ipairing of homes going on right .now. Read The Want Ads.
