are farmers ana especially umoHB tho
older men, who do not care to add to
the work they must do on their farms.
They want good paying investments
from which they can derive sure
income. They can have this by in
vesting their surplus in good solid
brick houses in this city. Houses
of this kind will pay an in
come of from 7 to S per cent clear OF
taxes and insurance. For instance,
have a property for sale at $4,000
that brings in an annual rental of $54O
This is per cent clear of all ex-
penses. All kinds of property is very
low now but conditions are changing
rapidly, and property bought now
will enhance in value. Our industries
are in creasing in capacity and bust
ness and new ones are being estab-
lished every year. Correspondence
