Twenty six years ago Consul Samuel A.
Macalllstcr purchased Il building lot in tho
western part of the city, paying SIPS for 1t.
One day last week he sold tho lot to HUI
bert A. Cassidy for $3.50. Counting the
city and county taxes, charges for sewer,
curbing, etc, and the amount invested at
compound interest that lot stood Mr..
Macallister over $1,000. We cite this case
to show that it does not always pay to in
vest your money in building lots, If you
hold on to thom for too many years. If
the same money had been invested in
