A GOOD TIME TO BUY REALTY.

Those wise who had the courage of their con-
vctions and who adhered the business proverb which
admonishes dealers buy a falling market are about
to realize handsomely their investments in ST. Paul
realty.
1t required courage to invest in city property
during the dark days of the nneties when fortunes
being wiped out by the depreciation Of land values
But there those who had convictions and the
age of the The speculative money that went into
the deprecated property have been very consider
able in amount, but it merely 1.-THE Of the totalI
The buying largely INDUCED by of small
who had stake in the city and wanted to es-
tabish homes. The rehabilitation of real estate
a proper and safe investment will make many men
of moderate means who bought solely the end that
they might build and their homes, practically
independent.
The instance cited in T h G 10 b of yesterday in
which it shown that of small means who
had bought home property in lower town and had
realized $50 per his investment in something
less than year. is by isolated case. In
of the have occurred frequently and
are bound to during the coming season.
There is possibility of over-speculation
There will be boom, artificial imitation of values
But it certain anything that has yet
aed be that the year 1903 will in ST. Paul such
period of activity real estate dealing as has not
been for fifteen years at least.
This is indicated alone by the raise in prices in
certain localities but by the steady upward trend every
where. The absolute dearth of houses to is i'm
pressing itself who have money for invest
ment. No legitimate form of investment will yield as
large and certain percentage renting property in
St. Paul This particularly inviting field will attract
many investors during the coming summer and the
man of small means who is ambitious to own his own
home should look about him before the bulge in prices
that is inevitable comes on.
