From facts within my personal knowledge, j am
satisfied that 20per cenlum on an estimate invest
ment of $4,000 can be realized by sagacious
owner or company annually from this property in
its present situation. u Hscsitl R4sg.sf b9f.sef
The confident opinion Of the most iudicious and Z
prudent business men is, that this property has
already greatly increased in value, and that its
prospective value, looking to--as certain ereat--
the speedy development of all its advantages--T
comprising as they do all the elements of an i'm d
portant village, is Incidentally great. Nothing
could tempt me to forego the certain great pecuni-
ary advantage, that will assuredly accrue, lin few
years, TO an cnterprisng owner Of this property
but the earnest desire on my part to diminish the
cares of business and to- devote my energies in
their accustomed and more appropriate sphere. 4
Ishould prefer 10 sell one-half of this property
TO an enterprlsing and capable business man or 4
company, who would take charge of the whole /,
concern, but if desired, by purchasers, will sell
sell the whole. Possession can be had whenever
the sale is made al the end of the present year.
