VISION OF westminster, Will be OPEN
ed on November 10. 1908, at West
minister, S. G.
The growth of Westminster has
become so great in the last few
years that the town has found that
they have not room for the people
wishing to move in, many Of them to
put their children in school. Hence
the opening of the new section,
which Is within three minutes walk
of the business interests Of the city
and this new graded school.
Westminster is proud Of her
schools, and justly so. having
Graded School system that is up-to-
date, and from the standpoint Of
thoroughness and efficiency, second
to none in the State. This school is
dear to the heart of every citizen,
for they have built it out of their
pockets y
Recently the High School feature
! has heen added and departmental
work is being done. A tenth grade
has been added-in other words a
three-year high school, which will be
credited with twelve units work by
the State Board of Education.
There are As pupils in the High
School Department and go In the
Graded School Department, making
total OF 30S enrolled this session
Eight teachers are employed for
regular work and one supernumer-
airy. During the last three years the
enrolment has increased 25 per cent
and the teaching force 60 per cent.
This is fine record for any school
to boast of. Indeed Westminster
High School is the best in this cor
ner of the State. When the presest
structure was built many of West
minister's conservative citizens
thought it entirely too large. Now
the Assembly Hall has been convert
ed into commodious class rooms, and
the Board of Trustees has under con-
temptation the building of an. up
to-date Assembly Hall before next
May. With this equipment Westmin-
ster can well boast of the fact that
she has high class school,
Great preparations are now being
made for the Grand Opening Day OF
this new. subdivision, to be held
November 10, 1908. We have been
fortunate in securing the best and
most experienced auctioneer in the
United States, Hon. J. G. Morrow, of
Pittsburg, Pa. He is great auc-
tiOneer. He will entertain You all
day long with his witty sayings and
jokes. 1t is worth any mans time
to listen to this great auctioneer.
A full days free band concert viii
be given by one Of the very best
bands to be had. An old-fashioned
barbecue will be given free to all
those attending, and will take the
place Of dinner. ~
And last, but not least, Prof Chas.
Swartz, the world-famous aeronaut,
better known as the Daredevil of tho
ITnivnrSn will o; f,.az
loon ascension and sensational para
chute drop. This is the most dam
gerous feat ever performed by any
aeronaut in the world. Leaving mo-
ther earth in the largest and most
complete balloon ever seen in this
part Of the world, this wonderful
aeronaut shoots upward with light
ming speed, performing dangerous
trapese and acrobatic feats while sus-
pended between the earth and sky.
Upward he goes until he reahces a
height far greater than any ever
rec he'd by a humna being before
on until the large balloon becomes a
mere speck against the sky, then a
loud explosion takes place and Prof.
SwartZ makes the inconceivable para
chute leap and high dive back to
mother earth again. His attractions
are the limit of human adventure.
Come; you may never see his like
again. He daily plays with death,
yet has had a successful career in
this and the old world without acct
dent.
No expense is being spared to
make this new subdivision of West
minister the most beautiful and desir-
able place for either permanent home
or an investment. Any one who is
deSirous of securing q home of his
own can find no better location than
this Will be. and the terms Of sale are
such that every one can afford to buy
that wants to.
Those who already have homes Of
their own will find this a place of
investment unequaled, as the de-
mand for this property will surely
and certainly increase from year to
year, and every one knows that de-
mand increases value.
We predict, without fca! of fail
ure in our predictions, that the men
or women who invest in this prop
erty, VIII always have a ready sale
Tor their holdings. and at q handsome
margin OF profit over and above the
purchase price.
There is no better investment than
an Investment in good real estate,
and the beauty Of this location and
the increasing growth Of Westmin-
ster, together with the outside de-
mand, will make EASTMINSTER a
sale and paying investment, and one
which you may never have again.
1t Is a wise man that takes advant
age of his opportunities. Those who
do not take advantage of their op-
portnnitics are the failures in life.
