Here we have an ad publishing a newly planned subdivision, which to give away authorial information, is right around where I live now. The ad promises high quality cobblestone retaining walls and many planted palms. Evidence of both are still there today. This ad was in the 24 March 1906 edition of the Highland Park News-Herald & Journal. That edition also has a number of mentions of this particular subdivision in its various articles, so check it out for more details.
