BIG LOT ROOM
ON IN BLUEF|ELD
MIR. Coffman VIII Offer Large
Number of Lots in the
COalfield Metropolis.

oeen supplemented by other coal
fields located OH the Clinch Valley
tRaiiIoady and -bstw cen -tlae- -pooahOn-
tas fields and the Ohio River. She
ls destined to remain the metropolis
during the next forty years. The nat
ural resources and thet transpoI tatIon
facilities in and about Blueneld
have caused rapid grow th in the
past conditions caused i'm measure
by the transportation of coal and
coke through and from the vicinity
of Blueiield. When you consider the
great possibility of this coal and
coke transportation doubling within
the short period of three years il is
possible to figure and predict the
phenomenal growth to come about.
1t is true there are some croakers
in Bluefield, the same as In other
towns, and must say that there
was some croaking going on the first
day the writer looked through the
town some twenty years ago. There
were citizens living here ut that time
eXclaiming that the town could not
grow any more, ana gave their i'm
aginary reasons, some OF whom sold
out theti property. TO regret il later
aud each and every one who has
moved away from Blueiield to make
investments has made a serious mis-
take. None have ever lost any mon
~ i'm Bluefeld real estate, but many
have found the owning and control
ing OF Blueiield real estate to be a
remunerative business. Dwelling
houses a6e always in demand. Car
penters and small investors who buy
lots and construct houses on them
and sell them OH the inatalIment
plan are getting good returns on
their labor and capital so invested.
There is constant demand for this
class of property, and it is possible
for pros pective investors TO buy lots
at an auction sale in the east end OF
Blueiield, on the south side of
Princeton Avenue, on the 10Th day
of October, 1910. Further details will
be furnished as TO the name OF this
addition and the size of the lots.
The terms will be one third cash
and one and two years, with a lien
retained to secure deferred payments.
On account of these terms very little
money will be necessary TO make the
cash payments on these magnificent
city lots. They are city lots pure
and simple, having good roads In the
vicinity sewerage and water mains.
1t is possible from these lots to look
towards the railroad yards and note
the prosperity of the country by es-
timating the eastward movement OF
both coal and coke. Many railroad
men engaged In transportatio be-
tween Blueiield and Roanoke find
the east end the most splendid plact
to live because they can reach their
cab cars and engines at this point
near their homes and small as we'll
as large capitalists would be well
paid TO provide homes on the rental
basis for these we'll employed and
high class citizens.
A critical review of BIuefield will
show that she possesses one Of the
best school buildings in the United
States. This expression was made
public by party who has made
school buildings study for many
years, and on account of so many
we'll to do Coal Operators and par
ties holding profitable positions In
and about the coal fields adjacent to

demand for city lots to supply the
wants OF these people who desire TO
move to Blueheld for educational
purposes. In addition to the $l3O, 900
high school building there are other
we'll constructed school buildings
located in the various neighbor-
hoods of the city Supply and de-
mand always governs rrices, and
since there will never be any more
real estate and will always be more
people to occupy 1t, 1t is fair to say
that Bluefield Real Estate will al
ways be advancing in price. People
who purchased lots located further
east OF the lots now to be put on the
market, several years ago, have built
on sixty per cent OF these lots.
Many OF these lots changed hands
several times and always at a good
profit. At the coming sale you will
be safe In buying to hold or i'm
prove. These lots-are owned py s s
Coffman; the title is good, he hav-
ing purchased from parties whose
immediate ancestors fought the In
dians off OF 1t. An official of the
Norfolk and Western Railway Com
S pany recently made the remark,
This will be a big town, tell you,
!, and 1t Is rumored that the Norfolk
: and Western is trying to increase its
real estate holdings here. You
should note the proposed increase Of
N and w capital stock. 1t Is now
