STONE HARBOR
On Seven Mile Beach
Cape May Co., N. J.
We want to give you a quick, terse story of Stone Harbor, something you can comprehend at a glance and then realize the magnitude of this sturdy, new resort and its splendid investment offering.
Philadelphia people have invested $600,000 during the past six months alone in Stone Harbor.
A million dollars has been spent for Stone Harbor upbuilding.
When you visit Stone Harbor today, you see a complete modern seashore resort: over a hundred cottages, bungalows, villas and stores.
Twenty-five miles of sewered, watered, graveled, cemented, and graded streets; well-kept lawns; new $20,000 Yacht Club; handsome hotel; three deep yacht basins; 22 trains a day; telephone and telegraph, and in short, a model resort in less than 36 months’ building.
The public alone made Stone Harbor possible by its ready subscription to our Beach Front Improvement Bonds. Yet Stone Harbor must be BIGGER – BETTER – GREATER; it must in time become THE South Jersey Coast Atlantic City, towards which goal it is constantly building, because the name, Stone Harbor, means hustle, progress, success. A new house a day marks its present growth.
THE STONE HARBOR OCEAN PARKWAY is a splendid as well as a practical creation.
Since the island’s discovery 300 years ago, Seven Mile Beach, virtually the last beach to succumb to the attack of the artisans with shovel, saw and trowel, has been CUT OFF from the mainland to all vehicle traffic, because it has had no roadway like the other beaches. A half-mile railroad trestle bridge has been the only mode of reaching Seven Mile Beach. In spite of this handicap, this splendid beach has grown wonderfully the past two years.
At a cost of half a million dollars, we are building three miles of 155-foot wide roadway, for vehicle, train, trolley and automobile traffic. This operation (now 60 per cent completed) includes a sea-level canal alongside the Ocean Parkway (as the new road is called), 100 feet wide, 10 feet deep, both operations reaching east and west for over three miles, from Stone Harbor on Seven Mile Beach to Cape May Court House, the shady, substantial, old colonial county seat of Cape May County.
The Parkway’s east terminus spans, by a great steel drawbridge, Great Channel, which flanks Stone Harbor; its western terminus taps the State Ocean Highway, which likewise runs through Cape May Court House and over our Stone Harbor Court House annex.
With the opening of the Stone Harbor Ocean Parkway and Canal next year, Stone Harbor values will three fold. This is a statement admitted by realty experts in Philadelphia, Atlantic City and Wildwood, as well as by several hundred alert Stone Harbor bond purchasers, who believe in STONE HARBOR with their money as well as with their eyes.
Our bond plan is absolutely safe. It has brought Stone Harbor to its present splendid status and has made its investors money. Each and every investor is doubly secured: first, by a first lien gold bond; second, by lots which are acquired FREE under our bond plan, by warranty deed. Title to the entire property is insured by West Jersey Title and Guaranty Company of Camden, N. J.
