every day in the year. There is per
petual sunshine without the enerva

To most people Pinehurst spells
“Golf."” ‘And a real golf metropolis ia

In the beautiful Sarasota Bay, where you can bathe in the waters of the
Gulf of Mexico, hunt, fish, motor and ™ enjoy life the whole year round.
Siesta on the Gulf is the'most desirable location in Florida for either a winter or summer home.
It is located two and one-half miles across the beautiful Sarasota Bay from the growing and
ous city of Sarasota. It takes only 20 minutes to run from Sarasota to Siesta on a ferry. lm s
beautiful water trip to make, for you see the surrounding keys: the cresent shape of the mainland
and the beautiful boulevard and bayshore homes: the magnificent palace home of Mr. T. M. Won
chester; and enjoy the soft, gentle lull of the waves of the beautiful bay
Siesta is a high-class town site and is being largely developed along lines that appeal to the “well.
to-do” who wish to leave the snows of the Northern winter and get down here for five or six monthe
of continuous good weather for fishing, bathing, golfing and other outdoor sports. The business man
can also leave his cares for a few months and enjoy the same privileges. It is & subdivision platted
and planned for the home-seeker—the one who wishes to spend the whole year here
In the winter one enjoys the mild climate which is not known in the North until April, and
oftentimes June. There are very few days during the entire winter months that you can not rum .
around in your motor boat in your shirt sleeves and be comfortable. In the summer we have a eool,
refreshing breeze from the Gulf every day, and at night a light covering is needed before the day dawna.
Your coal bill alone will pay for a season of comfort
and ease on this the most beautiful bay in the world.
