MILLIONS In REALTY.
Five Hundred Per Cent. in Two
Years.
SOME SAMPLES OF BIG PROFITS.
Salt Lake Real Estate Makes Money Faster
Than the Best Dividend Paying Stocks
on the Market.

For many years two young ladies were
kept busy all day and part of the night
sewing by the piece to keep soul and body
together and their little adobe house from
the sheriff.
1t was all they could do to keep the wolf
from the door, and often were they COM
PEELED to work by lamplight many weary
hours after other toilers had retired to
their beds for the night. In the solitude of
the evenings they prayed that the kind
Father would send them some relief. as
their bones ached for rest. They did not
sell their little home, as 1t would only bring
them few hundred dollars, which would
soon be spent, and once parted with their
own home they would be forced to work
longer hours to pay rent.
They held on by sheer necessity to their
little home and lived along the best they
could
Last fall lady who had been getting her
sewing done by these working girls, called
at the house with dress pattern.
I'VE are not taking in any sewing now, u
they said, and the lady asked them how
they got along without work
I'VE sold our lot for $4,000 and will not
have TO work any more they replied with
much spirit ana an air of pride that was
quite pardonable.
This story but illustrates one of thous-
and instances by which happy turn of the
wheel OF fortune, persons who were in
straitened circumstances became indie
pendent. some of whom are to day living in
luxury and atfluence.
fhere is every indication TO believe that
the enhancement in values during the next
five years will create other fortunes
equally as striking, and that every foot of
Salt Lake property will be worth two dol
lars TO one if taken at the prices it is held
at today.
The Increase in population is more rapid
to-day than al any previous time in the
history of the city, and the influx of men
looking fer locations to start II business is
much greater. These additions of money
and men must have telling effect on the
future price of realty.
Thomas Homer, manager of the Inter
mountain Abstract company, brought 10
