"A Few Reasons why Marshnlltown

A Few Reasons Why Marslnlltown
should fse q Good Place to Invest.
Speculative demand is beginning to-
develop. There seems to be no longer
any reasonable doubt that Marshall
town real estate, as commodity, is
entering on a period of strength and ac-
tiyity. There is no boom in sight, for
which every one having the best inter-
ests of the city at heart is thankful, but
there is enough in the situation to war
rant the most conservative business
men in claiming that good Marshall-l
town property is commencing to re-
spond to the conditions Of prosperity ex-
listing in the city and in the state The
most significant feature of the realty
situation is the appearance of a specu-
lative demand.
Speculation in Marshailtown property
has been almost unheard of for the past
ten years. Spectators do not appear In
the market unless there's d good pros.
pect of a definite and immediate ads
vance in values.
Not all real estate dealers will admit
that there is any speculative demand.
for real estate In the city, but the fact
that Edmund q. Walton. the WE'LL
known broker Of Minneapolis. was in
this city recently for the purpose of pur-
chasing some city property. leads one to
believe that the eyes of the outside
world are centering upon Marshalltown.
Tersely stated. here are some reasons
why there should be marked and
striking Improvement In Marshalltown
real estate:
The period OF liquidation is past.
Most of the men who must sell have
sold.
Mortgage foreclosures are compare
lively few.
Marshalltown Is growing.
There are no houses for rent and there
is good demand.
There are no stores to rent and new
leases being made are at distinctly
higher figure.
The country tributary to Marshall-
town is prosperous and the cityis keep
ing pace with the prosperity OF the
country.
The farming communities have pro-
portionately made the most rapid prog
ress in late years. The establishment of
the natural balance means growth for
