for the Spring OF 1892.
MIR. Mslvin's real estate enterprises
will come before the land buy ers Of
1892 with extended areas and greatly
increased attractions. With plans ma
tured and the ball already in motion.
with widely scattered advertisements
and active operations already begun,
Mr.. Melvin intends to make this sea-
son of proit and prosperity to bis Gus
toners, rs well as to himself and those
whom be represents.
WEST ANNAPOLIS will lead off this
season with an aggressive and vigor-
Gus policy on the part of Mr.. Melvin
who proposes to make extensive lot
sales there this spring. Numbers of
prospectors have already been TO see
him and as the spring advances we
hope TO see his numerous purchasers
busy ia improving their property with
attractive cottages. As soon as the
building boom starts out there some of
those slow movinglpeople who hesitate
and wait for property to get valuable
before buying anything will wish they
had purchased sooner. Now Is the
time TO buy at West Annapolis The
tidal wave of settlers, lot buyers and
builders will soon dot this handsome
suburb with attractive and valuable
residences. Numbers of inquiries are
pouring in from Baltimore city and
elsewhere, showing that attention has
been widely directed TO this city and
its beautiful environs. West Annapo-
lis lots are being sought for. The two
seasons sales which Mr.. Melvin has
operated are having their effect. Like
good seed, his advertisements have
been scattered and their fruits are be-
coming every day more apparent.
This will result in a large influx of
home seekers and the sales of the
coming season will be unparalleled in
the history of this city. Those who are
holders of any lots should hold on to
them and those who do not own any
should buy at once. Above all, the lot
owners, in their own interests should
begin as soon as possible To build. Let
one and another start and the build.
ing fever will spread until, as the
Yankee said, You will not be able to
see the city for the houses" Build
this spring and add value to your lots.
And buy additional lots so that you
can take advantage in the rise of prices
and pay your investments out of the
profits. Don't he afraid but wade in
and make some money!
MURRAY HILL will this season be
more completely identified with the
city by thesextension and interlocking
of the city streets throughout this
splendid property. Before long we
hope to see the requisite number Of
buildings in progress there, to Justify
the introduction of the city water
pipes and electric lights. Already the
pipes and wires are within one block
OF the property. Rev. DIR. Southgate
will, in a few weeks, break ground for
a handsome cottage, and others will
soon follow his example. All contem-
plating building at Murray Hill should
make an early start, before workmep
get engaged. And those who have not
purchased their lots should not delay,
as prices must advance. There is
fine opportunity at Murray Hill for
builders to make profitable invest
ments at this time. By selecting sew
eral adjacent lots and building on
them, these locations, the cheapest and
most convenient in the city, can be
developed with handsome profits to
the parties who own and build. There
is a splendidcha for capitalists and
investors to cooperate with builders.
In fact Murray Hill offers unparallel-
ed inducements TO all who want con
venient and comfortable city homes, in
one of the most attractive sections Of
Annapolis.
