Tracy Sells To Walter Bond
m'not Lumberman Becomes Real Estate and
Loan man :, In the Role OF Promoter
Will till Reside In Minot

A. W. Tracy has disposed of his
real estate business to Waiter Bond,
the deal having been made Wednesday
Mr.. Tracy has>ibeen engaged in this
business for the past three years in
this city and has worked up a large
business. Mr.. Bond is prominent
lumber man, having large interests
over the northwestern part of the
state, and will be able to conduct
the real estate business successfully.
He has large loan connections, and
VIII make a strong bid for this end
OF the business. Mr.. Tracy made
the following announcement to the
INDEPENDENT, which gives his future
plans:
l have sold my real estate business
in the city of Minot to Mr.. Walter
Bond, a very successful business man
who believes in square business meth
DDS at all times and whom, I believe,
wi make a success of the land and
loan business. For the past three
years l have been interested in the
building up of the summer resort for
the people of No tn Dakota at Lake
Epsilon. Last January l invested the
greater part of my money there. MY
interest at that pace has taken me
away from my Office most of the past
year. have been in business in
Minot few days over three yea 3.
From the day l located here until the
present time I have felt that Minot
IS the coming city of North Dakota
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1909-12-16

and l have talked, advertised and
worked for its upbuilding. Some days
ago l had a proposition made to me
which, l believe, will give me
chance to do something substantial
IN the way of helping to promote the
business interests Of Minot and the
surrounding county and at the same
Tune give me a better chance to push
pF lake property. Az a promoter
and organizer l believe l can do more
for Minot and at the same time ad-
vance by own interests than in the
real estate business. My whole in
terest outside Of Lake Epsilon are
in Minos and Ward county. This l..
my home and l expect to make it my
home. My office until April 1k,
will be with Mr.. Bond at my old
location '4,-.,N .a.i a.l.a.i, yb.,.,
The business men Of Minot have
done much TO- me during the past
Tree years and I take this occasion
OF extending to them my thanks and
appreciation for their kindly help. T..
trust that in launching into the pro
noting business they will be as will
ing to give me a helping hand. My
motto will still be-: Scratch my.
back and I'll scratch yours" / am
changing ON Tracy, THE Land
Man, to Tracy, THE Promoter
Hoping to see Minot and Ward
county grow and her people prosper.
