REAL ESTATE AND IT'S vo-
TARIES.
Confidence in Property Speculations
-Toledo's Rapid Growth-M Messrs.
Wolcott Bros.-A Prosperous Firm.

| ''sloW trade" and depressed markets" where
property is steadily increasing in value, the
real estate business is not only receiving new
acquisitions, but steadily holding its own
against less favored enterprises. Aud while
speaking on this point we may ask where is
there wider and moro inviting field to in
spirs confidence III this line than is presented
In the marvelously spreading city of ToledoP
AS hen gathereth her chickens under her
wings, one by one is Toledo proper gathering
within her corporate limits almost yearly
every outskirting acre, north, east, west and
south, to the extent of miles, until svho shall
venture to speculate on her ultimate magui-
tude. With this highly gratifying consurn-
nation in view, is there not cause for congrat-
ulation when it becomes our pleasant duty to
speak in complimentary terms of the origin,
prosperity and extensive resources of one of
her prominent firms in the above business.
We refer TO that of
MEssRs. WoLCoTT BROS, 81 JEFFERSON ST,
who, though only located in Toledo some
twelve months, have decidedly made their
mark, and afforded unmistakable evidence of
their ability, integrity and indomitable perse-
Verance to worthily perform with satisfaction
to their clients the responsible duties imposed
upon them by virtue of their important posi-
ton. Haiiing from Oneida, New York, they
first launched into business at Toledo in Oc-
tober, lS73-locating in Il somewhat humble
Office at l5S Summit street. Both being com
paratively young men, brim full of energy,
amply competent for business pursuits, and
possessing the necessary capital TO float in
their coveted enterprise, they set outin 'sfair
held" with ono favor or affection" in their
present calling. We should, however, remark
that the business was by no means a new one
to the senior member of the frm-Mr. J. R.
WoLCoTT-he having gained considerable ex.
perlence prior to his present investment. For
tune soon lent a willing smile to their efforts,
for clients were not slow to read in their can
dor, zeal and courteous address ample to in
spIre confidence and favor. engagements
rapidly succeeded engagements, and securing
considerable private interest in Star avenue
addition, they became agents for that plat,
and next we find them las in the case of most
prosperous frms) casting around for more
eligible and extensive office accommodations.
This was ultimately discoy cred at their pres
ent address-34 JEFFERSON sTREEr-whence
they removed last spring, and where they
have since continued to flourish. Mr.. J. z.
WoLCoTT takes principal charge of the books,
correspondence, finances and general transac-
tion of office duties, while Mr. T. NJ. WoLCoTT
is chiefly engaged in the conduct of outdoor
engagements. Their Office is thoroughly ap-
pointed with references-such as maps, books,
plats, &e.-to real estate matters, generally.
IN and around the city-they have the utmost
facilities for acquiring information for clients
and, indeed, as a general intelligence office
in any and all matters pertaining to their line
of business, no better reference or authority
need be sought after in the city-a fact it will
amply repay capitalists to bear iu mind when
visiting tho prosperous "Corn City" in view
to investing. Beside "Star avenue addition"
already referred to, in which they have sold
over one-third of the lots, at prices ranging
from 800 to $3.50, on quarterly payments,
they have very fine piece of property about
three blocks from Adams street, known as
"Franklin addition" which was originally
plated in eighty-eight lots, over half Of them
having already been sold at 5000 to Sl25 per
lot, This latter investment is one of excep-
tional advantages, as proved by the rapidity
with which the property has already been
sold. and the fact of its very favorable loca-
ton. In the matter of acre property they |
have numerous splendid investments, as their |
business relations outside the city limits have |
grown almost apace with those within. But |
in reference to anything like detail of their
present property on sals-theIr exchange list |
to rent and miscellaneous wants, |
their engagements are far too numerous to re-
in the space we have at command
but are well worthy of reference-see their
extended advertisement in another column Of
this paper, as also in the Toledo city press.
Nor should we fail to refer to their agency for
the sale of lands on the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway, which are steadily growing in
public favor, and amply repay for considera-
ling in the far west. Messrs. WoLcoTT
Bros. appear very sanguine in this matter,
md solicit the strictest inquiries into the mer-
is of the property in question, in reference to
which they will be glad to furnish maps, cir
'ulars, rates, fares and freight, &c, on appli-
,ation. On the whole, we know Of but few
lrms in the city we can recommend more uu-
eservedly for integrity and perseverance than
hat to which we havejust referred-our busi-
less relations with them have always been of
he most satisfactory character-and we have
Invariably found them true to their engage
nents, courteous and worthy the utmost con-
dence. They have our hearty congratula-
ions on their past success and may their fu-
lre prove still brighter than the past.
