Splendid Record.

We desire to call attention to
the new advertisement of The
Cabell Investment IL Development
Company, which appears on last
page Of this issue. These people
are offering some splendid, oppor.
tunities either for investors or
home seekers to make good use of
their money by purchasing property
at the fast growing ex-capital OF
Cabell county.
We have recently had occasion
TO investigate the record of sales,
ETC., of propertysat Barboursville,
and find 1T is quite an envIable one
We quote herewith a few of the
most successful IDEALS" to show
what an investor of good judgment
may do with his money:
5. +. McClung paid sIlOO 90 for
the old Pinnell farm in 1901; this
has been sold in parcels to various
parties, and part has changed
hands a second time, the total cash
prices paid at last sale reaching the
sum of Sl3, 10000, not counting
some $1,000 90 worth of lots still
owned by the original purchaser.
ID. A. Allen paid 100000 for
the old Blake farm of 800 acres In
1905; to date be has sold $40, 600 90
worth of land out of this place, and
still owns over 100 acres of the
original farm.
In 1908, ID. Blain Shaw and
Others paid $4,000 90 for 20 acres
of the Merritt land, and Its sale has
totaled about $4,000 90 to date.
Methodist Advocate Publishing
company paid $500 90 for % fee. of
lot l8, Main St, in 1905, and the
next year, sold 1t for $1,000 90.
Lot No. %, Center Street, event
begging" at $35O.OO in 1904. In
December, 1907, d. Blain Shaw
sold same property for $l65O.OO.
A great many other examples of
phenom inal profits could be cited,
but these should suffice to prove
the great opportunity offered for
returns on early investments.
The 80 called "panic" has had
little or no effect upon Barbours-
vile realty values aud the outlook
tor the future is PARTICULAR Y bright.
