nifcently laid of grounds of DilwOrth IS
found the opportunity, and the prospect Is
that the sale which commences here May Goth

no SENSATIONAL ADVERTISING.
The -Four Cs-the Charlotte Consolidated
Construction Company-haye endeavored to
make known TO the world IN a dignifed way
the advantages bthey offer, and they have
steered clear Of all the highly colored methods
of advertising. and from the beginning have
endeavOred 90 suppress all inclination TO-
wards inflated values and fictitious booming.
The company propose TO get splendid profit
out of their investment by sharing In the
natural advance of.Dilworth with Charlotte's
growth They will sell these lots at auction
and the bidder Will have the privilege OF tax
inc one or two lots on the terms of
his bid, but IN every case the Four O.
will reserve every alternate lot unless the
bidder takes two. then the company will also
take the next two. In this way they ex-
pect TO make their profit, .and there Is every
reason 10 believe that prices will be kept at
figure that wll put everybody on good
footing on the ground floor. The company
have spent an immense amount of money try
ing TO make Dilworth the pIetticst suburban
town in the South, and the verdict IS that
they have surpassed all expectations.

car line and in rifle shot of the centre of the
