Far off fowls ha' feathers fair"
It is ever thus. Distance lends enchantment to the view"
Things around about us seem commonplace, and we do not
ALWAYS appreciate their value. The prize we would possess is
in the distance. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been
sent out of Iowa county during the last few years for invest
ment in mines and in lands, while right here, at home, there have
been wonderful opportunities for investments in farm and city
property. Farms could be purchased fifteen years ago at from
twenty-five to fifty dollars per acre. These same farms would
bring today, if placed on the market, from seventy-fve to one
hundred dollars per acre. The advance in the price of city
property has not been so great or general as the advance in farm
property, but it has slowly and surely advanced. We have been
in the real estate business for the last fifteen years, and have the
satisfaction of knowing that there are in Mineral Point many
persons who are now living in comfortable homes secured
Through our Agency, and who consider themselves very fortu-
nate in the purchases which they have made.
A BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS
A new era of business activity is dawning upon Mineral
Point; and there is every reason to believe that there will be a
gradual advance in real estate values. New corners must have
homes, and there are very few, if any, homes to let. Hence
rents will continue to advance; and the husbandman who is
wise will procure a home as soon as possible. And there will
never be a better opportunity for him to do 50 than right now.
PROPERTIES FOR SALE.
This Agency still has moderately priced and high priced
homes for sale--ranging from 5000 to $4,000. If you intend
to purchase read over the following list and make your selection
