Dora, Fla. Date — November 1st. B S i The Misses Ford, Rogers and Hull, strangers to Mt. Dora, arrive. "Where I shall they stop, at the Lake Side? Grand View? or Villa Dora?" They finally agree I to separate and try each hotel and compare notes. I I Result — Miss Ford says the Villa Dora is a dream and she doesn't expect to | I wake up until May 1st. Miss Rogers says she has engaged her room at the Grand | I View for the season. No need to look further. Miss Hull says Mr. Thayer of the I Lake Side certainly does know how to run a hotel and that he has promised her a cor- ner room for the balance of the season in a few days. I The discussion is still going on. One point they agree on. They expect to make reservations at their respective hotels for next season before they go North! ifg^^ug^^DH^^ua n u nn^— iip^^iiu^^U'l'U n n u p ■ 4iH^^un^^»n iin^^uu »ii p a d b^^b^ ♦n un Hii^— uii MM MO Bn u n nf n n in^^Dtn un ii« nn^^iin nn un n n a4» I B I Mt.

Dora, Tavares and Eustis form an Equi- lateral triangle, each side being 5V^ miles long. This forms the Famous Golden Tri- angle, deriving its name from the fact tliat within the territory embraced more Golden I Grape Fruit and Oranges are grown than in any like area in the State. I There's a Reason. J Turn back to page 23 and note the vast expanse of water to the north and j west, then secure a weather map of the U. S. The two combined will tell the story, g This vast expanse of water so tempers the air that we are warmer in Winter and Cooler I in Summer than 200 miles further Soudi. Our perfectly drained hill sides, with their ideal Orange and Grape Fruit soil would avail us nothing without the Lakes.
