Real Estate, Insurance and Loans
There is a vast difference between
promoters and builders The promo:-
CT has IDEAS, sometimes extremely
vague and induces others TO invest
their capital 10 determine whether the
asset is tangible or not The build
crs are the men who do things men
who 90 cOurageously forward when
others hesitate, men who take the ini-
riatiyc, men whose keen business per-
ception tells them of the opportunities
within reach only waiting for develop
ment. Builders are men of action
They don't talk much, they are too
busy doing
OF all men in the Imperial valley
who belong to this latter class-the
builders-if a vote were taken the
names of Mr.. NJ. l.. Hazard and Mr..
J. r. Strang, who are associated in the
real estate, insurance and loan bust
ness under the firm name of Hazard
q Strang. would surely receive an
overwhelming majority. These men,
as firm, have only been in business
two years, but their clientele more
nearly resembles that of an old e5-
tablished firm in an old community.
This favorable condition of their af-
fairs can be accounted for in large
measure by the fact that both have
lived in the valley a sufficient length
of time and been so highly successful
i'll all their business ventures that they
had the public's confidence at the very
beginning
This firm handles the best Imperial
11lley farm land exclusively and DEM
Onsb 2tes that they are builders By
the pos rassiOn of 600 acres of highly
improved Ind. Some of this. subd-
vided in small acreage, is now max
ing homes for IN. small farmer. Their
extensive listings Of large acreage
offers opportunities for the larger in
vestor BY specializing in first class
acreage investments they easily take
the lead in this field.
Mr.. NJ l.. Hazard occupies
conspicuous place in the fnancia!
and industrial divisions of the
valley as president of the Holt
Vile Bank. Mr.. Strang was an expert
enced oil operator before locating
here Operating in farm lands. he
declares, is as profitable as his former
calling, and without it's uncertainties
His interests comprise personal hold
ingS of farm land besides those of his
firm and his interest in the Holtville
Bank, Of which he is a director. An
illustration of the builder instinct i'll
his makeup is the part he took in the
discovery and development of artesian
water. In this his experience in well
drilling has been turned to profitable
account
1t is generally conceded that dol
lars count" III determining the success
of any business. Nothing would be
more highly complimentary to this
firm than to apply this method of rat
ing TO their business. Here are the
facts in dollars. Since the first of the
year they have sold more than $780,
600 worth of land, upwards Of a quar-
ter of a million dollars worth of prop
erty turned in three months, a real
estate business that will aggregate
million dollars this year. In addition
tc their own properties and their list
ings they make a speciality of mort
cages. In this way they have interest
ed large amount of capital. which
has been distributed in the valley, Sc
cured by patented farm lands.
The firm is located III we'll ap-
pointed suite of office rooms adioin-
ing the Holtville Bank and their policy
OF handling none but first class prop
critics has made their offices headquar-
ters for the sale and exchange Of land
hat pays dividends.
Both of these gentlemen are promi-
nent infbusiness and social circles ana
have hosts OF personal friends in all
parts of the Imperial valley. This in
a discriminating community where
men stand on their own merits. il
can be truthfully said that Mr.. Haz-
zard and Mr. Strang justly deserve
the high esteem that NcOmes as &
sequence of the deeds as builders.
