Zion Commonwealth, Inc., the found-
ers and builders of Balfouria, which
has a settlement of more than 300 per-

now conducting an intensive campaign
among the Zionists and Jews of
America for the building up of a new
American garden city near Tel-Aviv,
the beautiful city near Jaffa. This
city will be named "Herzlia" in honor
and memory of Dr. Theodore Herzl,
the founder of the modern Zionist
movement.
