No afternoon drive Is complete without
a spin on Liberty street as far as the
University. and in consequence, this
street is Gainesville's fashionable
boulevard. crowded with automobiles
and other vehicles every afternoon

Would It take a very shrewd
prophet to foretell the future of prop
erty so located?
It Is written, that the greatest
growth Of all cities shall be westward,
and Gainesville 'wil be no exception
to the rule. in fulfilling her destiny.
Hindered for long time by peculiar
local conditions. she grew north and
east; but at last favored by the loca-
ton OF the University Of Florida in
that direction, she Is now in line TO
obey that mysterious law which none
can explain. but all admit exists. and
will grow to the westward. Already
fine homes are springing up in front
OF the University. and We predict that
In FIVE years or less. when the oaks
now growing win furnish complete
shade. some Of the highest priced
residence property in Gainesville will
be on West Liberty street, and ifs
Immediate vicinity.
For this reason, The Sun unhesitat-
ingly eommends this property to per
sons who wish Il for homes or en-
vestment.
