DEED and TITLE
to Desirable Building Lot on Elm street,
"WOODSIDE",
Thurmont's Newest Residential Section
and Development.
Only few lots remaining unsold.
The record-breaking sale of the major
ity of these lots within the past few
weeks, is evidence of the faith express
ed in Thurmont's future prosperity, by
the many persons of this locality and far
distant points who have seen and taken
advantage of this unusual opp rtu lity.
A positive assurance of early spring
development by number of the pur-
chasers in the erection of a large number
of houses and buildings on this site, make
the prospects of big enhancement in
value of these lots something tangible.
All these lots are improved by a fire
cement walk, and the streets leading to
same graded and the section of which
they are part fits in admirably with a
we'll defined scheme of near future de-
velopment which will make for the bet
terment of Thurmont and this section of
the county in general.
The prices of these lots if purchased
at once leave good margin of profit to
the purchaser in the near future.
SHALL 1T BE A LOCAL INVESTMENT or
are you more interested in the welfare
of some other town?
