RESIDENCES OF PORT WASHINGTON "The Summer Resort of Wisconsin" NO CITY TAXES Here in the city of Port Washington is one of the most attractive spots in the entire state, to live and to enjoy life. No city taxes, made possible by the coming of the mammoth Electric Company power plant. Conveniences as you have them in the bigger cities, yet you escape the grind and tur- moil and confusion that are part of all big cities. With other sections of the state and country gasping for relief from the intensely hot weather that has prevailed this summer, Port Washington is always comfortably cool, due to its close prox- imity to Lake Michigan. The city is often-times aptly compared to "California at its best." If you want to live, happily, congenially, com- fortably, think seriously of the beautiful city of Port Washington, with its charming Lake Michigan beaches, for bathing and fishing. You will make friends quickly; we will we'come you wholeheartedly. Photos by J. Harry Taylor PAGE FOURTEEN
