Yesterday a long stretch of white beach - a faint trail leading back through thousands of acres of high pine land to the beautiful Myakka River - a store - a half dozen homes of fisherman - a small railroad station - and no more.
Today - the same long stretch of white beach, but the faint trail has become a wide, paved, landscaped boulevard upon which converge other paved streets and boulevards lined with fine homes, apartment, parks, playgrounds and buildings - the main thoroughfare of a new and model resort city with electric light, water, sewerage and every modern convenience. A city of homes and a city of three thousand in habitants. A city backed up by a large and productive farm section that extends back to the Myakka River. A community of immense promise - a great and growing residential and agricultural empire.
You who believe only what you see will find here proof a plenty of the great activity that has created a complete city in a few short months.
