time is something over a million

An ice company, which viii at once

As far as can be learned no Main street
lot can be bought for less than $4,000, but
when the amount of business done on
this street is taken into consideration.
this price is by no means high. The
highest price paid for Main street
property is Sl2 500 for twenty-five foot
lot. The universal verdict is that prices
n l0r0nnrtU in Fort Nop+l,- ORC
there is no disposition on the part of our
people to mathematics
The best evidence Of what is thought of
Fort Worth is the fact that men of money
from Boston, New York, Denver, Chi
cago, Lynchburg, Va, Cleveland, Ohio,
and Madison, Ind, have in the past ten
days put in Fort Worth en-
terprises and real estate over
1920 90 % a part of this amount being in
vested in the capital of one of cur banks.
