FAMED IN SONG AND STORY—If ever a pleasure resort has had its share of publicity, it is Coney Island, which provides “side-show thrills” for tens of thousands of good New Yorkers and their families and for thousands of overseas visitors to America. An airplane photograph is reproduced above, showing the beach at Coney Island, which resembles, most, a thriving ant colony. When the hot weather arrives the New Yorker longs for a cool sea breeze and, suiting action to the thought, sets out for his pleasure-ground. It is estimated that over 800,000 people find their way to the sands of Coney Island each Sunday and holiday in the summer season.
