FRITZ TELLS SOME
THING, BUT NOT
HIS SECRET


Henry Well, Fritz, Robert and l
would like TO have you tell us your
reason for thinking that these lots of
Koehler's will sell at higher prices
than what is being asked for them
now.
Robert-Yes, Fritz, tell us about
this. Don't keep us in suspense.
Fritz.-Gentlemen, | would like TO
tell you, but | have given my word to
the person who told me that | would
not say anything for the present.
HenrY.-Can you not tell us any
thing at all ? We have some friends
who are thinking of buying some lots
and they are undecided where to buy.
Fritz. All | am allowed TO say at
the present is, that scheme of deyel-
opment is on foot which, ii il goes
through, will double and triple the
value of this property, and indications
are that it is going through. If your
friends are thinking Of buying either
for bcine or for an investment they
will not miss it if they buy some Of
Koehler's property even without any
further development in the near
future. This property of Koehler's is
without question the best bargain
offered anywhere in this city. Every
thing is in favor of it. 1t is level
country, well drained, good rich
ground, no water holes near to
breed mosquitoes and diseases; no
hills to climb when you come home
tired from your work at night; or
to slip and fall down when going
to your work in the morning; no
water in your cellar as is often the
WI liuinm
side-hill; no necessity to spend your
money for street car fare in going
to and from your work, and best
of all, it can at present be bought
so cheap and on such easy terms of
payment that persons with limited
means are enabled to get some OF
it. There are more sound merits
TO the square foot of this property
than to the square mile of some
that is being offered, and every sound
thinking person knows it.
THE SALE OF LOTS is NOW
ON
And will be on every day until all
are sold. Don't miss this. oppor-
tunity. This property is being sold
fast and the people buying it are
buying it on its merits realizing
that they are getting good property
cheap.
See diagram showing location of
this property in another place of
this paper.
Cut out and save the diagram
and take it with you when looking
over the property. 1t will help you
to find it. But don't wait. Go

GIVES FIGHTERS
BETTER PURSES
HUGH MCINTOSH is REVOLUTION
IziNG THE BOXING GAME
IN OLD ENGLAND THIS
WINTER.

Hugh Mcintosh has revolutionized
the boxing game in England to such
an extent that the famous National
Sporting club of London will be re-
constructed and enlarged to cope with
the methods of the hustling Austria
liam promoter. The National Sporting
club is the most exclusive organization
of its kind in the world. It's affairs
have been controlled for many years
by the nobility. Fights have been held
i'm an old theater capable of seating
not more than 400 spectators. all Of
whom must wear evening clothes and
pay big prices for tickets.
At this club John l.. Sullivan boxed
an exhibition when he was champion
for the special entertainment of the
late King Edward VII. then the prince
OF Wales. Peter Jackson and Frank p.
Slavin also met for the heavyweight
championship Kid Lavigne, then light
weight champion, stopped Dick Burge
in the presence of royalty.
The National Sporting club had a
monopoly up to last year. Fighters who
wanted to compete for the Lord Ions
dale belts had to accept comparatively
small purses. But when Mcintosh
came along with his new Olympia club
and big offers to fighters the n. S. c.
decided to enlarge its quarters rather
than be put out of business McIntosh's
club Accommodated 5000 spectators
when Bill Lang whipped Jack Burns
there recently and now he has match
ed Lang and Langford to fight 20
rounds there on Feb. 16. He is hang
ing up fat purses and guarantees to
induce such men as Kaufman, Johnson
Packy Mcfarland, Abe Attell, Papke
Clabby and other Americans to fight
in England, and his enterprise is meet
ing with widespread encouragement.
While the N. S. c. has always catered
to the Glasses Mcintosh is depending
upon the masses, and he appears to be
in fair way to gather a snug fortune
with moving picture privileges re-
served and other side issues that us
ually yield profits
