FORT MYER HEIGHTS-A GENTLEMAN FROM
across the river called my office the other day
in answer to my advertisement in The Star in
which l cited several real estate deals in our
section that had proved very profitable to the
investor He informed that he invested
$1,000 in trtct of land beyond Fort Niger
: Heights. and that his supposed to- be friends %
on hearing of his unfortunate % investment
called to extend to him their deepest sympathy
at his sad mistake in throwing away $4,000 in
worth anything. He now informs me that he
has sold two thirds of this unfortunate invest
ment' for 100000 cash and can sell the remain
ing one third at any time for $4,000. Now these
same wise friends who were profuse in their
sympathy and whose foresight does not extend
quite TO the tip or blossom ON their noses, say to
him: Il told you So told you when you bought
that property you would make Money Just as
shlftIess as the dust before cyclone. No mat
ter which way your investment turns out Il told
You So, like kite without a tail foundering
around, jumping from the frying pan into the
fire.
