Of farm produce the finest market in the
united States, and possibly as good as any
in the world -
The great and unprecedented advancement
in the gaIue of real estate in the National
Capital, and the fact that it is constantly
building oat b., and even within the very
4 limits OF Montgomery county, gives us suf1i :
Gent assurance, forthe assertion, that proper
and careful investments made here, now, in
lands, will in less than ten years yield, in
enhanced oat,te, a profit Of from so to 100
per cent, according to the location and treat
ment of property.
