WHY THEY LIKE TO LIVE IN BELLEVUE PARK ' ' A GLIMPSE OF THE BEAUTIFUL OAK WOODS IN BELLEVUE PARK One who lias built a home and lives in Bellevue Park, says: ''We like Bellevue to live in because it is a retired spot away from the bustle and turmoil, smoke, dust and congestion of the city, yet within twenty minutes of the business center. Built on good-sized plots, our houses are flooded with sunshine and air and surrounded by spacious lawns and gardens. "We like Bellevue because of its beautiful park reservations — romantic walks, winding driveways, miniature lakes, rippling brooks, magnificent towering oaks, tennis courts, etc., at the dis posal of our families. "We like Bellevue because of the wonderful health-giving ad vantages it affords our children, with its breezy hills for kite fly ing. broad grassy fields, antl sunny slopes for other sports _so dear to "Young America." W'e do not believe there is a healthier place in Pennsylvania for boys and girls. "Then, too. we like Bellevue for the ever-changing exquisite beauty of its foliage —from the tender greens of Spring, growing heavier and richer and more varied as the season advances, to the brilliant reds, yellows and browns of Autumn. To the lovers of nature this feature is an ever-present joy. • "In short, we believe all the other householders share our feel ing that Bellevue Park as an ideal home spot is unequaled in Har risburg, and not surpassed anywhere."
