You missed the inspiration OF a
good meeting last night if you were
not at the Chamber of Commerce |
Around 10000 was subscribed for
a Greater Wilson, in order to build |
who desire to locate in this city
Again number of gentlemen of
fered their lots at prices to be pas
sed on by the board of directors, so
eager were they to help relieve the
pressure here for homes and business
houses in this growing town the best
i nEhe world.
At the conclusion of a splendid
meeting in which it was unanimously
agreed that if the people of Wilson
wanted the town to grow they must
put their money behind it, for what
is the use everyone said of boosting
| the town unless we are going to pro-
vide Accommodations for those who
want to come here. The advertising
| of the town has been all right, the
cooperation of the people of the
city in every good word and work
has been all that could be wished,
until Wilson has the reputation
Of being the best and most hospi-
| table town in the country, and now
we must prove it by taking the stran-
ser in and maaang a. home Noa

/ 1t was acCentuated last night
that Real Estate company here
| can make big money, for no man
has ever bought any land in this
| city and held on to it any length
of time without making money on
| it, and so it would be if a realty
company should build a house or
M oney in two weeks than it was the
| week before. There is not a real es-
tate man in the city who is not
making big money, and the more
money put in this real estate com
pany means greater profit for
those who put their money in it,
for the more money put into it the
more houses can be built at tho
same time. as explained last night
by Mr.. Stronach and Mr.. Striker
and Mr.. Grantham Ten houses
can be built much more cheaply
than one for the reason that a crew
of trainers can precede a crew of
f:nishers, and when the weather is
bad they can work on the inside,
and again the material can bic

paying cash a great deal of e1oney
can be saved, and again the more
stock subscribed the easier burden
, on those who are taking stock, for
instance $25O,OOO is desired. This
!, will be called for in ten INSTALL
} ments of ten per cent each.
Suppose you should take a thous-
and dollars worth of stock or ten
: shares at the par value of $4,000
, per share. Ten per cent of $780,
t 600 is $4,000. $4,000 will build
ten $4,000 houses, or five $4,000
2 houses, as expressed by a member
last night if he could pay ten pei
S cent at the time he could take q

r but if he had to pay it all at one
: time he could not take that amount
y So you see the more stock you take
= the easier the payments on all an6
d the greater number of houses bull
: quickly and put on the market t,
S supply the great demand here TO
homes to live in.
Il Remember too every time yo1
e build a house in Wilson you ar
adding more to the business of tn
. city and to the value of money il
IS circulation, and you are increasin
~ the value of the property you a.
st ready have here, for that reaso
a lyou should sell your land as cheapl
as possible to the company that
they may be able to pay the pric
charged. That was the spirit mar
at ifested last night by number wh
m offered their lots at the price to b
ry fixed by the Directors of til
d Company.
J. At the close of a most enthusia
