Hal Rate Divorce Ranch Neely’s Latest Venture * * * * * * Scion of Vanderbilts Eliminates Annoyances of heno Divorce, Making It Enjoyable Experience—For Only SSOO All Expenses. -1. wO 1 ; ;f. i H Divorce *** \\ Ranch W* C iifc I aMilNf - Bob-- ■ JKr’alr-' ■3 tSmP.|r fc. iJ * n*, r 1 j ’ CORNEI/IUS VANDERbIPT, <JR- MoRREY GRACCHI 0 No longer need the ordeal of interviewing lawyers, attending courts and such tiring details prevent the freedom-seeking husband or wife from cutting loose from the unwanted partner. Thanks to Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., everything is now plain sailing for the one who desires to be rid of the marital shackles. Neely—as he is affectionately called has opened up a divorce ranch at Indian Springs Oasis, near Reno, where all one has to do is check in and spend six weeks of entertainment while the management attends to all troublesome details of severing the tie that binds. Os course, there is a small charge, merely SSOO, hut when one considers that for that sum, room and board for six weeks plus entertainment, horseback riding, tennis, swimming and j so forth, are provided, one can hardly hold back the ejaculation, | "Gosh! 1 don't know how he does it!" Unlike his other ventures, this latest business of Mr. Vanderbilt’s seems assured of success. He has a competent manager, Morrey Gracchi, who handles the business at the, ranch, serving as liaison officer between principals in divorces, interviewing lawyers and entertaining the guests. If the first of Neely’s ranches is a success, he intends to have a chain of similar establishments within a convenient radius of the divorce mills at Reno.

Reno, Nev., Dec. ' -''Freedom and a grand time for half a grand” I might be a good slogan for the lat-1 est enterprise of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr., scion of the great house of Vanderbilt, whose idiosyncrasies ihave from time Io time kept the i world speculating as to what he I will do next. The result of "Neely's'' most recent and most devastating cerebral cyclone- is the establishment of a divorce ranch at Indian Springs Oasis, near the knot-untying capi-i lai, where one may pleasantly while away the time until the divorcesmiths of Reno remove the shack ' les of matrimony. Young Mr. Vanderbilt displays none of the h.rum-scarum tactics’ that characterized his other ventures in Ihe creation of his newest brainchild. On the contrary, he has’ shown a considerable amount of the i business acument that made the (great name lie bears synonymotm I with success. | Capitalizing upon the popularity |of Reno as the center for the slic-l ling of the marital knot. Neely con-’ 'structed bis scheme upon the fun-. jdamental principle of high pressure! I industry "give the public what it | I wants, do it cheaply and with the |minimum amount of trouble to the | I customer." The result is the i"Lazy Me' 1 divorce ranch, where; th'- wife who desires to shake an: unwanted hubby, or the husband (who curses the day he ever said, jthe fateful "1 will." can spend a carefree vu-ation while the mill-! in Reno grind out the decree that means freedom. I As has been pointed out, the on ■ | terprise is purely a business one ’and. though it may seem indelicate, ■the little question of cost must be I |discussed. The total outlay tor the freedom' seeker is a flat SSOO, This sum in-: j< hides lawyers’ I'.-cg, court expen i -es, room and board and ail inci ’dentals as to cnttirtiininent. such, |as horseback riding, swimming, ral Japanese warships eonceiitra'.led there recently departed during I the night for an unannounced des-, Itination. believed to bo off Shanjhaikuan.

tennis, dancing, etc. When one considers that it takes six weeks for a divorce to run the gamut of legal twists and turns, it must be conceded that Neely is very reasonable in his charges — even the smallest appetite could make la fgirly respectable inroad into SSOO I worth of food in six weeks, not to ■ mention the fees and entertainment. Carrying out the general theme I of business first, Mr. Vanderbilt has la manager in charge of his divorce 'paradise. Murrey Gracchi, who I not only looks after the creature ’comforts of the guests—as the customers are affectionately called—:but if one wishes will interview lawyers, act as liaison officer between the principals in a suit, or ’do a hundred and one of those annoying little jobs that used to take all the fun out of divorce. Not only ■ that, he will give the clients lessons in horsemanship or backgam 'mon. In fact, he'll leave no stone I unturned to make the sojourn at I the ranch a pleasant one. So pleaslant that if the freed client should I ever, in an absent-minded moment, | take another missus, lie is sure to return to the place that holds such j happy memories. The resort is between Las Vegas and Beatty and covers 300 acres of land over which ■ the customers may romp to their I hearts’ content, casting off their cares as the Reno mills cast off the : unwanted partner. In the event of Mr. Vanderbilt's novel idea proving successful, he I ■plants to establish a chain of ranches similar to the "Lazy Me" within a convenient radius of the dilutee mills at Reno, where the un I-'.bphisticaled one, who is unfamiliar with the modus operand! of 1 freedom-seeking, may confidently ■ (nit the whole business in the I hands of the management am! just relax until lh<‘ desired decree is produced like a rabbit from a I magician's hat.
