Manner to Save 1t.
THE QUESTION THAT CONCERNS

You can readily enough find the means Of
getting rid of your money. The papers are
filed with insinuating columns Of ad7er-
tisements coaxing and tweedling you in
every manner to invest your earnings.
THE PUBLIC BENEFACToR
Is the man who originates and introduces .
method making it little more easy for the
poor to lay by few of their hard earned
dollars that slip so easily through the
fingers. REAL ESTATE IS THE BASIS OF
ALL SECURITY.
Few fortunes have been made in this rap
idly growing country of ours except through
the medium of increasing value in real
estate, and no one is more deserving of pub
lie approval than the man who brings real
estate within the reach of the poor.
| About four months ago this firm obtained
control, by purchase. of the loveliest Of all
the lovely spots along the Pittsburg and
| Western Railroad. It was but five miles
from the city limits, trains making the run
to the center of town in 26 minutes

grading streets was begun, and the firms
original plan of selling property, then en-
tirely unknown in Pittsburg, was placed
before the public. This plan is made up Of
three principles:
FIRST PRINCIPLE.
To sell lots as near the original price Of
the land as is consistent with a reasonable
profit and sufficient surplus to make all
necessary improvements.
SECOND PRINCIPLE.
To offer every possible inducement in way
of improved streets, yearly passes, free lots,
cash premiums, etc., etc., that can be made
to attract residents, as we realize, if our
property is as good as others (and we think
it is, or would not have purchased it) near
growing city. The only question is to
make it more attractive than others, and the
question of selling it is settled.
THIRD PRINCIPLE.
To make the first payment and subsequent
ones just as low as possible. In this we
have done something never known in the
history of real estate-ofered elegant prop
srty, as good as can be purchased anywhere,
and only ask 25 cents to 81 80 first payment. .
At this payment you ob5ain control of the
property, can build and improve imms-
diately, in fact, have entire possession.
Another feature, we charge no interest and
pay all taxes until deed is given.
When the sale was opened, and whole
pages in the different daily papers devoted
to explanations of our methods, disaster
was predicted and failure prophesied. Real
estate men could not appreciate that there
were hundreds of people anxious to obtain
their own homes, to whom the ever increas-
ing rents and expenses of growing families
make it difficult to accumulate the necessary
large payment required to secure lots under
the old system.
What was the result? Over 800 lots were
sold in two weeks, and now over 20 new
houses are being erected, with others start
ing every week. Our Office was filled, and
at times we could scarcely accommodate the
people, and further, resulted in these same
firms initiating and copying our methods.
There are now only 100 lots left out Of
total of over 1000; they are among the
They are offered to you at the original
price of S25 to $50, are 25x1OO feet, some
larger, and face on 40 and so feet avenues.
The streets are all graded free of cost, and
graded well. Board sidewalks, three feet
wide, are laid on each and every street.
A railroad pass to and from the city, for
one year, is given to all new residents Of
1882
Lots will be given to all schools and
churches. There is Methodist Church
already on the ground, and two lots have
been given to the United Presbyterian
Church, which is now building beautiful
structure.
LAST AND MOST IMPoRTANTI
$500 GIVEN AWAY
A lot worth $3.50 will be given to each Of =
the first 80 persons Who erect houses thereon
costing 5, 200 and over.
Upon receipt of first payment Of l per
cent we execute and deliver Title Bond, to
be neld by purchaser until the lot is paid
for, at which time we deliver Warrsntee
Deed, free of incumbrance, without further
lost.

more rapidly than any city in the United
States, and great many people would Ike

States, and have gained q reputation for
