then it is his intention to keep up an
aggressive campaign for business.

to close up before completion Of the
Syndicate building This will give the
people of this part of the state a
splendid opportunity to secure some
exceedingly desirable lots at very low

Most of the Syndicate's holdings are
in the form of large acreage. Although
these miscellaneous lots amount in the
