Appreciated. Profitable
Investments. Matters
of General Interest

The public sale for the location of
lots in the premium contract sale of
The North Wildwood Land Company,
which was held on the property of the
company Monday afternoon, was u
of the most successful ever held on Five
Mile Beach. This attractive and pop
ular method of securing first-class prop
erty has been thoroughly appreciated
by those who are familiar with this is
land and the premiums bid in this sale
are a convincing proof of the fact that
real estate is increasing in value in a
solid and conservative way. The lots
in this sale were exceptionally well
located and it was expected that many
of them would bring a large premium.
This expectation was fully met with in
the fact that the first choice was awar-
ded to Mrs. Lizzie E. Price for 81 $50
per lot, the successful bidder choosing
a pair of splendidly located lots on the
north side of Twenty-fourth avenue,
between the handsome cottages of State
Comptroller j. Willard Morgan and
Mrs. Caroline Beecher. 1t may be no.
ted that this premium of 81 $50 per lot
is the highest premium ever obtained
in a syndicate sale on this island. The
fortunate purchaser Oft second choice
was G. Gerald Evans, who bid a pre-
a., l., - ~ Ct nnG ,o.k, t..r n noirH IF Lotto
on Twenty-fifth avenue, adjoining the
cottage of J. Fithian Tatem, Esq.
Among the purchasers who secured
very desirable locations were John
Reese, who held eight contracts; Mrs.
Mary E. Doyle, Miss katherine Scol-
Ion, Daniel Kelly, George w. Cole,
William j. McShane, Alfred K. Brad
dell, Miss Julia Kalbach, Samuel Rob-
erts, a. Roland Fogg, Sheriff w. H.
Bright and many others. The premi-
ums to be returned to the contract
holders will be very considerable, but
cannot be definitely announced at this
time. This sale proves co%nclusiyely
that frst-class property on Five Mile
Beach has a well aseertained and sta
bic value and can be depended upon as
