‘The Nation’s Winter Home’
Early 20th century promotional brochures for the Palm Beaches promised more than sunny beaches and palm trees. From a Mizner Development Corporation brochure promoting Addison Mizner’s Boom-era developments in Boca Raton:
I am the rendezvous of the rich
Each passing day sees a new era in my existence
I am the dream of a genius
The materialization of a magical mirage
I am the sun porch of America
I am Boca Raton in 1927
