A SUCCESSFUL AGENCY.

Our people do not realize that we
have the most active and success
full real estate agency in Cherokee
county. In the past few years c.
w. Daniels has sold over 700 cheap
residence lots, mostly to parties
who have or will make their homes
in Baxter Springs.
Daniels & Plumb, who succeeded
to the old agency, are pushing the
business and bringing buyers and
homeseekers to our city and coun.
ty every week. These gentlemen
are doing business and should be
sustained by our people. Over 100
emall residences have been built
on lots sold by the Daniels agency.
This can be verified by a glance at
the books. Daniels & Plumb are
doing all in their power to build up
the city and reduce taxes. If they
are properly supported they will
add at least 500 to the population in
year.
Now if you have any sort of real
estate to sell, put it in their hands.
1t costs you nothing. They will get
your price for you or no sale. They
have 100 customers where the tail
ers and peek-easys have one. They
pay a city license to do business
and they treat every body fairly. If
you want to buy or sell don't bother
with the curb stone scalpers, put
