Birch's offer to give away lots on Broad
street, fronting the railroad is the ex-
ception. There is value to every foot
of the whole half mile front, and locat-
ed as it is, in a reasonable time every
lot will be occupied with factories,
houses, stores, schools, churches, banks
and all other kind of buildings. Birch
vile six years ago was only an old field.
The lots are high and dry and will

member i am only asking to give away

railroad, even the back lots would be
