TO BE S O L D,
Theorist mill, saw mill
and PLANTATIO N, late the property
of John Bainbridge, situated upon Rocky Brook,
in the townfllip of Windsor, county of Middlesex,
and province of New-Jersey. The plantation con
tains about 56 acres of excellent land, on which
are ereded, besides the mills, two good frame dwel
ling houses, a blacksmith's shop, store houses, &c.
The grist mill is in good order, has two pair of
stones, one of them French burr, and hands upon
as fine a stream as any in the province, for in the
drielt season, it was never known to fail ; and be
ing in the heart of a fine wheat country, it has eve
ry advantage for carrying on the business exten
sively. The saw mill is likewise in good order.
This stand is also one of the best in the province
for a store, one having been kept there for many
years past ; and as it lays about midway between
Philadelphia and New-York, the communication to
both these places (the stages from Burlington and
Bordentown going twice a week) renders the trans
portation of goods to and from either of them ex
tremely convenient and at a small expence.
Any person inclining to purchase, may know the
terms, by applying to Mr. Joseph Potts, at
Cranberry, Mr. Robert Montgomery, near
Allen town, or to the fubferibers, who will give an
indisputable title and immediate possession.
