fulness of the genial Calvin D.
Crawford , or to quote- the letter-
head of The Pines, "The Crawford
family."
The popularity ol "The 1'lnos" 1B
attested by the largo number of
persons who came back year after
year lo spend at least a part of
their summer vacation at this na-
tionally known summer hotel
With the close of the Hummer
season of 1058 the old hotel will be
taken down and the propert y con-
verted into private residences, The
property on the Das) side of Ocean
Avenue will lie acquired by a new
owner; tile cottages on tin- W' esl
side will he sold lo those who love
an old house , either for solium l
living or as a year round home
for retirement The remainder ol
the properiv win provide locations

cha ers who prefer new buildings.
