Hill Avenue; one lot of acres, on Wood
lawn Avenue; the whole to be sold without

and no cash required.
No. ! comprises that part of the Agricul-
tural Farm west of Green Hill Avenue, con-
tanning over 80 acres, facing Wilmington and
the Delaware river, and on one of the routes
surveyed for the Wilmington and Reading
Railroad
No. 2 is lot on the westerly side of the
Agricultural Fair grounds, containing 1929
feet on Green Hill Avenue, and 800 feet on

manding view, adjoining and overlooking
the Fair grounds, 264 feet on each Woodlawn
and Green Hill Avenues, and 1856 feet on
both Seventh and Eighth streets.
Possession OF all the above properties will
be given Immediately, and the terms are the
most liberal of any heretofore offered, being
one half in mortgage, and the balance in
approved notes, with interest at four months
from day of sale; or 3 per cent. clear discount

sale. This is an opportunity rarely to be
met with, and we think capitalists can find
no better means of investing their money
than in the purchase of these lots, as our city
is being rapidly built up in this direction,
which will in short time greatly enhance
the value OF property in this neighborhood,
