A BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY.
The Cheapest and Most De-
sirable in Roanoke.

The property of the Richmond and
Roanoke Land Company, the prettiest
in the city, is now on the market.
This tract OF land, embracing over 200
acres, is owned by VIM. M. Wager, Of
the real estate firm of W.. Yager &
Co., and William Lunsford, the we'll
known attorney.
1t is bounded on tho north by the
Northwest Land Company: on the south
by the Roanoke Driving Park Associa-
ton. tho Elevated Plateau. Melrose
Land Company and the Roanoke Salem
dummy line; on the east by the Melrose
and the Virginia Land Companies, and
on tho west by the Oak Grove Land
Company.
1t will be seen that this very desirable
property is rendered doubly valuable by
its surroundings. 1t is in the center of
numerous attractive and popular ad-
ditions to the city, and on the border of
the Roanoke-Salem Dummy Line. In
addition, the several land companies
named in the preceding paragraph will
construct 4 belt street railway line,
which must, owing to the "lay of the
land" run through the property of the
Richmond and Roanoke Company.
1t would be extremely difficult for the
imagination to picture a prettier or more
desirable property than we are endeav-
oring to describe. 1t abounds in beauti-
full situations, and there is not an I'M
desirable lot in the entire tract There
are several large and valuable orchards,
and portion of it is covered with a
luxuriant growth Of stately and beauti.
full oaks.
From this property it is not more than
10 minutes walk to the market house,
depots and the large industrial estab-
lishmentS in the eastern part of the CITY,
The Roanoke Iron Company's furnace
and rolling mill, in the ''West End"
and the Roanoke Development Com
uany's property, on which several large
manufacturing plants have been located,
is south of and directly opposite this
tract. The dummy limo of course,
greatly lessons the distance to tho bust
ness portions of the city and adds to the
desirability and value of home in the
Richmond and Roanoke Addition.
There is another thing in favor Of this
property. The price of the lots, com
parativly speaking, is extremely low
and within reach of every man or woman
who makes it point to save money. no
matter how little. Lots in sections
$3.50 each. Corner lots, S275, when only
one lot taken.
Lots in sections from 25 to As, inclu-
sive, are S225 each. Corners $3.50, when
only one lot taken.
Lots in sections 46 to rs, inclusive,
5000. Corners 1925, when only one lot
taken.
These prices are very liberal, indeed,
ana while this writer was on the ground
yesterday two men purchased SO lots
and will form syndicate to develop
them without delay
a prominent business man bought 81
and Will erect handsome residence for
his family on one of them.
But the terms?
You can pay one third cash: balance in
one and two years. or you can pay SIG
cash and the remainder in monthly in
stallments of only S.
Every lot is 50Xl3O feet, with 70
loot alley i'll the rear. Every stree. is
90 feet wide.
The low prices at which lots are
offered by the Richmond and Roanoke
Land Company was the subject of very
general and favorable comment on the
streets yesterday. Property not SO de-
slrable and convenient sold months AFRO
at higher figure. Messrs. Yeager &
Lunsford could have taken advantage of
this to realize largo profit on their in
vestment, but they declined to do SO,
preferring to aid men of moderate means
to acquire home.
The tread OF towns is westward, and
every man who purchases lot in the
Richmond and Roanoke addition will
donole his money in a short time. If he
desires to buy for the purpose of build
ing q home, or for speculation, he will
never have as favorable an opportunity
as is now offered him.
Call on VIM. NJ. wager, or William
Lunsford, at the Office of w. M. Yarer
d Co., No. LOG Jefferson street, and they
will take pleasure in showing you this
beautiful property.
