WEST WILLIAMSON
THE IDEAL PLACE
For Profitable Investment and
Pleasant Home.
Big Developments Coming in That
Direction.

We have been watching this sec
ton OF our city for quite a while and
have been wondering why some wide
awake men of means had not put the
location in shape for the investment
of the public, but while we We're
dreaming of the great possibilities of
the situation. We were glad to hear
that Mr. E. E. Musick, President, has
organized, with a number of our
representative business and profes-
sional men as stockholders, a COM
pany for the very purpose Of which
we were thinking. We are pleased
to know that this valuable property
has been subdivided into building
lots, and has placed these lots on the
market. The land embraced in this
subdivision is what is known as the
Slater farm, lying in the western
part of the town, and Is, perhaps, the
most desirable in the city limits for
attractive residence property.
For number of years it has been
apparent that the demand for build
ling lots In Williamson far exceeded
the supply, and this has resulted in
| two things, which have, in meas
ure, retarded the growth of our city.
First, in the inability of number
of persons to obtain lots at all, and
second, in the fact that such lots as
can be had are sold at prices beyond
the reach of the man of small, or
even moderate means, who wants to
own his own home
With a view to supplying the de-
mand for desirable lots at relatively
low prices, The West Williamson
Land Company was formed The Sla-
ter farm was purchased and large
portion of this farm divided into
building lots The company has had
Its engineer, N. H. Mannakee, lay
/ out the City of West Williamson
with broad avenues and fifteen feet
alleys and fifty feet streets, and has
had each lot in the City of West
ed. so that this subdivision of our
city Is reality both on map and
ION the ground. The lots are now
on the market for sale. The company
is opening an Office and it's agent Is
now ready to make sale of lots to
those desiring them.
/ The gentlemen engaged in this
work deserve the commentator Of
everyone, for they now afford to
those who heretofore have been una
BILE to own their own home the OPP
portunity which they have long
sought.
We are told that the company has
already sold some fifteen or twenty
lots, and the belief is that within the
next ninety days the greater part of
the lots now on The market will
have been sold The lots now offer
ed are sold very cheaply and upon
reasonable terms, the purpose of the
Land Company being to offer every
Involvement to have this subdivision
built up rapidly. Those who have
seen the rapid increase In the price
4 Of real estate In this city, can fully
appreciate the splendid opportunity
!. for investment presented by the new
company in the lots now placed on
. the market Lots in Williamson
which few years ago could be had
for prices at which lots are now Of
fered in West Williamson, are today
selling for ten times that amount. 1t
Is entirely likely that history will
repeat itself in West Williamson, and
we advise anyone who desires to
cwn building lot In Williamson, to
y Investigate the property offered by
this company. Don't wait, but get
you home while you have the OPP
portunity. West Williamson is
bound to become attractive as a
place for profitable investment and
, the sooner you invest the more money
: you will make on the advance in
price which is sure to come.
