''Tf^HOSE who have visited DeLand and Lake Helen and the country around about there say voluntarily and with great enthusiasm f^)\ that it is by far the nicest, best and most delightful part of Florida. It is almost the universal testimony of those who have \^^ been to DeLand and Lake Helen, and stayed and gone around in these towns and seen the great improvements and advantages and visited the large, extra fine, magnificent groves and homes in the towns and on every side of the towns far and near, that they have seen nothing like it in Florida. That the advertisements and reports are not overdrawn. On the contrary, they do not do the towns and the country around them justice. We want all who go to Florida to go to DeLand and Lake Helen and see for them­ selves, and they will be surprised and delighted, as thousands who have been there and seen them. Some of the prominent and leading business men of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Rochester, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Paul and other cities and towns, have been to DeLand and Lake Helen within the past three years and invested largely for permanent or winter homes; most of the persons referred to above had been to Florida several times before coming to DeLand and Lake Helen, but when they visited these places and took in the advantages in Churches, Schools, Society and lousiness, and the healthfulness of these places by reason of the unbroken high, dry and thickly settled country all around, they invested again and again as stated. We wish others to come to DeLand and Lake Helen and do likewise. We can, and will, make it to their interest to do so, Yours respectfully,
