A MODEL HANDBOOK.
1t remained for the Real Estate Trusts
Company to prepare for prospective Pur.
the same time most complete pamphlet,
showing property to be sold ever issued.
At yesterdays sale of sixty choice lots
They contained diagrams of the block
in which each lot was located, showed
the exact location of the lot, gave it's
dimensions, furnished the street number
which a house, If built, would be known
by, told in what condition the street was
upon which each lot fronted, and also
whether houses were standing on ad-
joining lots or not. The pamphlets were
! so complete and absolutely correct in
every particular that several spectators
who did not care to journey to Bergen
Point, left their orders with President
Stevens to purchase such n such a
lot, naming the price to be paid. The
Company has been enterprising enough
also to have similar pamphlets prepared
for the great sale of city property on
October 81, which takes place in the City
Hall. These pamphlets contain diagrams
sold, and are to be obtained at City Hall
now or at the office of the company.
Purchasers can depend upon the cor
| rectness of the information contained
in them, and it will be perfectly, safe to
bid on each piece as shown in the PAM
phlets. The description given of each
parcel will be found, upon Investigation,
to tally exactly with the property itself.
The three-story brick building, 25x42,
on the lot 60xS0, on the northwesterly
corner of Henderson and Bay streets,
has been sold by a down town auction
| eer. A two-story frame building on Bay
street and a one-story frame fronting on
| Henderson street went with the brick
building to W. H. Hunt for $11,60o. This
| was a fair price.
