The fishing from the wharves is usually fine, with most excellent fishing grounds nearby, in the river and bays, to which excursions can be made.Small game is abundant in the woods near town, with large game further back in the valley of the Miakka.The Wonderful Climate.The great wealth of Braidentown, however, lies in the climate. The protection of Tampa bay, extending forty miles across our north-west border, assures the safety of our orange groves, whatever the freaks of the weather; and situated as the State is, practically between two oceans, extremes of heat are impossible. A higher record of temperature than 98 deg. is unknown in the town. Official records show the mean temperature to be; summer, 80; winter, 71. Fire for personal warmth is a necessity not more than twenty days out of the year, and there is wood at every man’s hand for the cutting. The cost of winter clothing and coal, so serious an item in the family expenses in every northern home, is not considered here at all and overcoats are handed down as heirlooms from father to son.The terrible diseases of winter; consumption, pneumonia, diphtheria, croup, we know only by their awful reputation. Innumerable instances might be related of well-know persons who have been brought here after they were firmly in the grip of some of these destroyers, yet have recovered their former health entirely through the influence of this remarkable climate. Rheumatism and catarrh are as quickly relieved.Several bathing resorts on the Gulf beach, a few miles west of the town, are well patronized and a plunge in the warm surf is possible and pleasant every month in the year.The Ease of Living.It will be easily appreciated from these facts that the conditions of life are easier, the requirements to produce freedom and happiness are fewer and the opportunities for healthful and permanent enjoyment greater on this south bank of the Manatee river than anywhere else in the world.There has been no boom in Braidentown real estate and reasonable prices still prevail. Building lots are offered within the reach of the most modest pocket book.
