Let Us Suggest
A Resolution for
the Year 1909.

RESOLVE TO BUY SOME OF THE
BARGAINS THAT ARE OFFER
ED BY US FROM TIME TO TIME.
This will be a resolution you will
never regret, for as the years roll by
and the property enhances, you will
be liable to.say, ~ should have bought
more than I did" Don't worry over
the fortune you could have made, and
stood by while your neighbor got 1t,
but invest in some Of the bargains we
offer in DIRT and let 1t grow while
you sleep, for we must look forward
and not in the past for results. We
can sell you property that pays big
interest in rents and enhances In value
at the same time. No Safer Invest
ment can be found than Real Estate;
then why not own more land, for val
ues are bound to increase with the
growth Of the population. It takes
land to hold people, whether they are
alive or in the cemetery.
