N. 4. Shelton Real Santa Claus
The three colored churches of this
city, namely, c. M. E., Second Baptist
and A. M. E.. each received a check
for IS as a Xmas gift, presented by
Mr.. M. H. Shelton, the popular real
estate dealer. To say that the pastors
of these churches were delighted to
receive this king of all Gifts" is to
express it mildly They were at loss
for words to express their thanks and
\ appreciation for such a noble deed.
. Mr.. Shelton will always be held in
4 high esteem by these ministers, who
will ever bid him welcome to their
services. Mr.. Shelton entered the real
estate business here about seven
years ago and during that period has
sold more homes to members of the
race than any other real estate agent
in the city. He also enjoys a liberal
patronage from members of the Cau-
casian race, having among his clients
some of the wealthiest men in the Salt
River Valley. He closed several big
real estate deals lately, where the
amounts ran way up into five figures.
Ranch property is his speciality, and
Acre City, formerly growing tract
Of alfalfa, which he has subdivided
and cut up into acre tracts, built sub
stantial homes thereon, erected a mag
nifiapnf
store and other buildings necessary to
complete a city-stands today midway
between the growing towns of Phoe-
nix and Tempe, a monument to the
ingenuity and worth of Mr.. Shelton
He came up from the ranks and
knows the many disadvantages under
which poor man has to struggle,
hence his liberal Xmas donation to the
colored churches of this city.
