whom you all know was walking across
Market Square where a crowd of
agitators were talking politics, when
he was stopped by one and asked ex-
actly what l6 to / meant.
1T means.'' replied he, sixteen big
fools standing on the corner talking
politics to one man trying to earn an
honest living by minding his own bust
ness
THERE is another meaning to the
current phrase, which is well known
here in Augusta. When you talk of 1G
to here people naturally think of the
1G in value to l of cost represented by a
bouselot in the beautiful addition to
our residential portion of the city,
Capitol Heights.
SPEAKING of Capitol Heights. did
Won know that a man in Waltham
Mass, who represents one of the larg-
est land Improvement syndicates in
Massachusetts looked the place over
out of curiosity and was so impressed
with its value and beauty that he
bought the lot cornering on Winthrop
street and Blaine avenue?
HE thinks this addition the clearest
case of high value and low prices he
ever knew of. He ought to know; but
really not half as well as the shrewd.
clear headed financiers who are hold
ing lots adjacent to those in Capitol
Heights for prices double, treble and
ouadruple the prices which we ask for
them
NOW think this matter over once
more Here is land in every way
adapted for building purposes, soon to
have every one of the advantages of
the lower town. Every lot is to be sold
at the lowest price ever given in this
CITY on similar real estate. Why don't
YOU buy one of the few remaining be-
fore all are gone?
THE value is safe and sure, nothing
can disturb it and in times of trouble
and business depression you always
have something which you can sell or
obtain money on. The people through
ont the world believe land to be the
safest and surest value and the least
likely to depreciate. Its tendency is
always upward in value.
FOR a home, no place in the wide
world offers more attractions thanC cap
itol Heights. Fine scenery and the purest.
healthest atmosphere in New England.
AS an investment a lot represents
gilt edge" security which is yours and
cannot be stolen or destroyed. Just as
safe as a savings bank and with IN
terest amounting to ten or a dozen
times what banks pay. A lot Will GER
tainly double it's value in two years.
THERE are just few lots left, any
one Of which is worth double its price.
You ought to go up and look at them'
today. You will be delighted if you are
thinking of building a home and per-
fectly satisfied with them as an IN
vestment if you are capitalist. one
look around will convince you in either
case
REMEMBER, if you haven't the
ready money that needn't cut any
inquire. We give a straight ulScouhl Vi
10 per cent. down for a single payment
of cash; but If you want time all that
is necessary is a single payment no"
of $40 and a dollar week until PAID.
No big interest to cripple you.
so why not attend to business. ana
by exercising a little economy become
land holder, and this lot will be the
nest egg of a fortune. By little SELF
denial the habit of saving will become
fixed and that's worth ten times what
you will make in profit out OF the lot'
Attending to business is better than
talking politics. Think this over
for minute and then call at my Office
or write. before every lot is sold.
