Maury county real estate activities
were never more pronounced at any
time in the history of the county
than at present. Since the TWEEN
ty-sixth day of July, upon which
date the last report was made by the
Figuers Realty Co. this firm alone has
sold and delivered deeds to new own.
ers, S22S, 100000 worth of farm lands,
and with the exception of two OF the
deals they we're all in Maury county.
On the twenty sixth day of July
The Daily Herald carried story
showing that the Figuers Realty Co.
had within the past three weeks sold
$125, 100000 worth of farm lands, this
added to the past months business,
gives the firm a business of S353,O0O.-
90 within the past sixty days. This
record has never been equaled.
The office of this firm is thr0nged
from early morning until late at night
with buyers from other counties. They
are seeking after Maury county farms
Why? Because the opportunities are
SO much greater in Maury county
than any other county in the state,
barring none The adaptability Of the
lands for the diversification of crops
is superior to any other lands. This
was realized by the University of
Tennessee Agricultural College when
they located the Middle Tennessee
Experiment Station in Maury County.
Those land experts took analysis OF
all the lands of the sites offered and
there were none that measured up TO
the high standard of the Maury coun-
ty dirt The lands of this county
possess every eliment that is essential
to the production OF all the crops that
are Indigenous to the South and 10
the North Mr.. Figuers realized the
great possibilities of Maury county
farms several years ago when he en-
gagged in the sale of farming lands.
He made predictions about the pro-
ductiveness of the soils and every
prediction that he made has come
true. Through his methods of selling
farms thousands of farmers from a
distance have been attracted to the
county and they have bought farms,
and in every instance, they are highly
pleased with their purchases. A list
of the sales made by this firm that
have been confirmed by the transfer
of, the deeas and first payment are
given below, but in addition to these
farms there are now pending deals
which will be closed within the next
few days amounting to about 100000.
When the struggle was on for the
location Of the Middle Tennessee Ex-
pertinent Station in Maury county,
Mr.. Figuers together with the co.
operation of The Daily Herald predict
ed this demand for Maury county
farms, and the farmers are beginning
to realize that the predictions were
not merely empty sayings, but based
upon sound judgment.
