Guests may lounge in two large lobbies and mezzanine—stroll out of doors through walks and tropical gardens—or again enjoy a dip in the attractive swimming pool—or along the block front of private beach. Here the new Cabana Club be¬ comes a popular social center—as well as the beautiful dance patio planned for those who would dance under tropical stars. The exquisitely appointed dining room and cocktail lounge provide further convenience and enjoyment for guests, as well as a completely equipped beauty salon, barber shop, card and mahjong rooms and novelty shop. Mr. E. H. Dine, owner of THE CADILLAC, first became asso¬ ciated with Miami Beach in 1924. At that time he came from Chicago to regain his health. Having regained it he decided to make Miami Beach his home. A year later, 1925, he acquired The La Flora, a 42-room hotel which he operated until 1935. In that year he became owner of The Netherlands, a hotel of 105 rooms, where for five years he was a successful and genial host. Mr. Dine, who is now associated with Mr. Nathan Borin of Detroit, Michigan, may well be proud of THE CADILLAC, his newest achievement in hotel ownership and construction. We salute this man of vision—whose creation of THE CADILLAC provides another beauty spot in Miami Beach. FOR RESERVATIONS WRITE OR WIRE E. H. DINE, Managing Director DIRECTLY ON THE OCEAN FRONT A Federal Savings Institution Which Has Never Paid Less Than 3% Dividends On Insured Savings The First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Miami is the largest mutual savings institution in the South. It is the oldest Federal in America, operating under United States Charter Number One. The account of each savings investor in the First Federal is insured up to $5,000 by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, of Washington, D. C., an instrumentality of the United States Govern¬ ment. In addition to the payment of liberal dividends, the Association has accumulated many times the required reserves. First Federal savings come largely from conservative persons who seek maximum safety and fair return, free from uncertain business conditions and the ris ks of market fluctuation.
