A New Real Estate Dealer.

Ex-postmaster John Ledgerwood who
recently retired from the Leon post
office after serving the people in a
public capacity in the Office for eight
years, has decided to engage in the real
estate business, and after looking over
the field is satisfied there is as good
opportunities in this line at Leon as
anywhere in southern Iowa. He has
opened real estate office in rooms over
the Exchange National Bank, and al
ready has fine booking of properties.
Mr.. Ledgerwood is peculiarly adapted
for the real estate business and will
make success of it. He is thoroughly
familiar with every foot of land in
Decatur county, having resided here
practically all his life. He served for
four years as county auditor and his eX-
perience in this office will be of great
value to him in the real estate business.
His extensive acquaintance all over the
county, and his reputation for square
dealing are such that no man will
hesitate for moment to place the
utmost confidence in him. He proposes
to do business on the square and when
he sells customer piece of property
it will not be misrepresented. He is a
tireless worker and parties having
property which they wish to sell will
do well to list it with Mr.. Ledgerwood
and all of his energy will be devoted to
securing a purchaser at the earliest
possible date. If you have any property
you want to sell or are looking for a
farm or town property, call at his Office
and have talk with him.
