DARE COUNTY l/9t8n A Land of Opportunity The oi)cning of this extensive area is an opportunity making epoch. ,Wc take pride in the fact that our doors arc open to the world, and we wish all America to share out advantages. Dare County is the last fron tier of seashore, sea and sky, remaining practically untouched by man’s commercialism and greed. The magnitude of this great area is not rcaiHly grasped. 'Beaches, and watcr.s, and forests of this great county embrace more than 2,000 square, miles. Its scasl(iQre extends 85 miles along the Atlantic, with nearly twice as much of inland shores, locking calm waters. Rich in history and tradition; teeming with fish and game foiv. . sportsmen it challenges the keenest interest of the tourist, the l.Qyeriofi^'"’'^^- nature and history, the home-builder, and the business-man.-Nowhere,in m) all America is there a section that has so much of everything that ap peals to these types. , , It has 17 miles of paved ocean front driveway. Rapidly developing cottages and hotels. Modern facilities rapidly.cxpanding. Increasing* commercial interests. ► 'V' 0 I For these reasons Dare County real estate offers marvelous oppor tunity for investment. Hunting property ,privatc estates, cottage sites, business sites, beach tracts—in a few years all will multiply many times in value. Now is the time to buy. Now is the time to build. Meanwhile, we shall encourage that famous old spirit of hospital ity that has advertised the coastland far and wide. \Vc shall continue to hold out the latchstring as of old, to those fine and deserving, and friendly people we have learned to love. • We believe Dare County is too rich a heritage to belong to any one \ community. We must develop it and share it with our countrymen. We invite you to join us, in the division of its blessings of nature as well as its responsibilities of development \ Board of of Commissioners Dare County ^ | R. DEWEY WISE Of stumpy Point CARL D.
