Along the Line of the Baltimore 4
Ohio Railroad and Branches.
1t is a well known fact that many
properties i'll various parts of the
country, which would furnish good
investments have long laid idle and
unproductive for the reason that pros
pective purchasers and investors are
not aware of their existence, or. if
aware of their existence, too much
trouble is encountered in ascertaining
the whereabouts of the owners or
representatives of such properties.
We are almost daily in receipt of
letters from persons desiring to invest
and locate on the line of the Balti-
more X Ohio Railroad and Branches

cants for properties into direct com
municatiOn with the owners of prop
