A BIG Honest Profit

A few weeks ago, two lots in Mime
apo'ls, fronting west on first avenue,
corner of Fifth street sold at the nice
figure of $215UOO. The building upon
these lots had recently burned These
two lots were bought by the party who
sold them in 1863, for $500, as a nice

was then a small place of only a few
hundred people, possibly a thousand.
This property is not on any one Of
the three most prominent business
streets Of Minneapolis and there is a
large amount of frontage in that city

would sell at two or three times the
price this land has brought and yet we
have here an investment chat shows a
profit of i0G per cent for every 43 days it

years. A fact of this kind should give
every pessimist hard shock and every

Thousands of investments as profitable
as this could De shown all over our
country and especially in the north
west, although it is seldom that the
property is held continuously by one
owner for all Of the profit, IS in this

There can be no doubt but that this
young city of Pierre, the Future Great,
offers as sure and large profits for the
investor in real estate as any of the
older aties have offered in the past.
