Country Life Magazine Real Estate Ad Run in 1919- Has Anything Changed?
Not really. Athol would be pleased with the photography given the available technology in 1919, Darren Rowse would be tickled at the quality of writing (even if it is antiquated speech), and even float Riccelli’s boat with its great graphic design.

Text that has a tone similar to many an ad in 2008:
For Sale on Cayuga Lake
An ideal summer home, at a very reasonable figure. Four acres of land on State Road, communicating directly with all large cities in New York State, between the H.A. Westinghouse and Hains Estates. Main residence modern in every respect- hardwood floors, electric lights, billiard room and servants’ quarters. Garage. Ice and boat house. Fine variety of fruit trees in bearing.

DeWitt, Interlaken, New York.
