Two Attractive Bay Front Proposi-
tions at Clearwater

One 96-acre tract with 25.foot blum
south of the Belleview Hotel and golf
links. overlooking the Clearwater bay
and only a short distance from where
the new Seaboard depot is to be locat'
ed. The boulevard to Indian Rocks
and Seminole has been laid out
through this tract, giving it over half
a mile front on this drive on the east,
and the beautiful bay frontage on the
west makes this very valuable piece
of property that can be put on the
market and disposed of this winter at
a handsome profit. The location Is
as fine as there is in the county, ana
it's a winner for whoever sub-divides
it. Small cash payment will land
this; balance to be paid in three
years. The bay front lots alone VIII
pay for the tract.
Another Money Maker
Is the 9S-acre tract bay front property
north of Clearwater and Dunedin
with 500 feet bay frontage. This
property will sell readily II put in sub
division, and the promoter can double
his investment before the season Is
over. 1t will take very little money
to nut either OF these tracts on the
market. They are high. dry and beau
tifully located. Bay front lots are
what the people want These can be
sold at prices that will move them
quickly and net a fine profit.
The above property has been put on
the market for quick sale. Either
tract is good. In fact they are the
best bay front investments know
of. The new railroad. our 100-room
hotel for which the contract has been
signed up, and the additional brick
and rock roads that are TO be built IN
our town and county this winter
means whoever buys this class of
property now will double their invest
ment before the winter is over. In.
vestigate these propositions at once.
They are the finest subdivision tracts
in south Florida.
