The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1906-08-02
HENDERSONVlLLE'S RAPID
GROWTH
Attracts Capital from another
acknowledgements that mean
much to our already grow
ing Town.

Attracted by the rapid growth of city
and the demand of summer home sights
the gentlemen composing the Hender-
sonVille Realty company have acquired
the tract on North Main street known
as Lyman Heights and are now at work
with a large force of men and mules
laying out and grading the wide streets
preparatory to laying Granolithic side-
walks and curling as more fully ex-
planned on another page of this issue.
The Hustler takes to itself some of
the credit for securing for Henderson
vile the services of this strong Company
in supplying this long felt need. Our
town is growing SO rapidly and the de-
mand for desirable building sights is
so great that it has been difficult for
those desiring locations to be supplied.
The opening up and improving Hymann
Heights will meet the demand and we
predict that every lot in this tract will
be sold within sixty days if the company
does not withdraw it from the market
before that time.
If we were to publish some of the re-
markable advances in real estate values
In Hendersonville during the past three
years our readers vino are not familiar
with the conditions would think we
were eXagerating. For an instance we
know of one lot which was sold about
two years ago for less than two hundred
dollars that has since been sold for one
thousand and there are any number of
instances where more than two humid
red per cent profit has been made with
in a year on vacant lots in the city. In
an interview with Mr.. T. G. Williams
who is largely interested in real estate
developments in Columbia and other
cities in South Carolina and is General
manager of the Hendersonville Realty
company, he said "When Prof. w. A.
Garland came to my Office in Columbia
and described Lyman Heights TO me 1
thought him an expert shot air artist
but when he induced me to come up and
look over the situation and I had talked
with your Real estate men and other
business men I found that all and even
more than he had told me was true.
And when [ walked over Hyman
Heights and got an unobstructed view,
of the magnificent hills surrounding
H~endersonville and filled my lungs full
OF the sweet pure air [ told Mr.. Garland
l would make Hyman Heights the ideal
spot for summer homes. ,"Nature has
done all that she a do for .Hyman
Heights and it now only remains
to lay out the streets and lay sidewalks
and curblng and we Will nave the very
prettiest place for a summer residence
in Western Carolina. When asked at
what price the lots would be sold he
said'We will begin the sale at about six
dollars per front foot and we will sell as
many feet as a purchaser may desire.
When considering the improvements
guaranteed by the company and the To-
cation of the property this seems a very
low price. Mr.. Williams stated that he.
did not think prices would remain at
this figure very long, that it was the
policy of the company to advance prices
as the improvements progressed. .
The property is only about three
blocks from the, Southern depot near
the Wheeler Hotel on Main street.
MI. j. A. Woodward and Mr.. T. B.,
Graham will have the management of
Hymann Heights and we welcome them
to our midst. Their Office is in the
Commercial Bank building on Main.
