The New York herald., 1921-06-01

TT is very gratifying to me that SO
many people have faith in what
tell them about institutions and
individuals in the advertisements
| sign.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE have al
ready shown their interest in this series
of articles about Miami, which is the CEN
tire of the fastest growth and the great
est prosperity in Florida; and about the
Montray Corporation, which makes ex-
ceptionally liberal terms to people who
wish to buy acreage or plots or lots in
the Miami zone, either for investment
purposes or for homes.
A great many people have called at
the New York offices of the Montray
Corporation, sol Fifth Avenue, corner
42d Street, where they have been located
since the opening of the Astor Trust
Building--Mr. Dumont, president of the
corporation, having been invited to be-
come one of the first tenants.
Those who called have admired the
wonderful painting (l5 #. long and e
it, high) which is on exhibition in the
reception room, and accurately portrays
the Miami zone; they have heard the
fifteen minute lecture delivered daily,
which unfolds facts about "THE MAGIC
CITY BEAUTIFUL" and its suburbs;
they have visited the "FIorida Room"
where Miami products arc shown; and
MANY HAVE MADE PURCHASES on
a payment plan which all say is con-
venient, liberal and fair.
Great numbers have written for fur
ther particulars and are asking for in
vitation cards that will permit them to
attend the daily lecture. Those asking
for further particulars are having mailed
to them copy of a booklet issued by the
Miami Chamber of Commerce, of which
the Montray Corporation is a member.
PURCHASES ARE MADE ABSO-
LUTELY ON FAITH IN THE ACCU-
RACY OF THE STATEMENTS MADE
IN THESE ARTICLES, WHICH ARE
BACKED UP 100 PER CENT. BY
EARLE ROYCE DUMONT, PRESI-
DENT OF THE MONTRAY CORPORA
TION, AND HIS ASSOCIATES.
As a matter of fact, think the Mon
tray Corporation is backing up what !
am telling you more than 100 per cent,
and for this reason:
Those who reserve acreage or plots or
lots in the Miami zone here in New
York without seeing the properties ex-
eept as their location is shown on the
Miami painting and recorded blue-prints,
are told that they may go to Miami at
the expense of the Montray Corporation
with the location of their reservations,
they may exchange them dollar for
dollar for other properties in the Miami
zone; and if il should happen that they
prefer not to own any property in
Miami, then the Montray Corporation
will exchange their Miami reservation
dollar for dollar for any of the many
properties owned by the corporation In
the metropolitan district
This is what call putting tho cards on
the table face up and playing fair and
square with eustomers-don't you?
On Tuesday, May "a, while in the New
York offices of the Montray Corpora
ton, Mr.. Dumont, the president, told me
that several old customers who had
profited on realty purchases made
through the corporation in other sec
tions of the country had telephoned ask
ing to be put down on the list as pur-
ehsscrs of property in the Miami zone,
saying they were perfectly willing to
leave the matter Of selection entirely to
the Judgment Of himself and associates.
To NV mind, this establishes that de-
gree of confidence in the operations of
the Montray Corporation which 10 the
basis of its success.
I asked MIR. Dumont how his orgsni-
zation made selection Of properties tor
their clients, and he said:
1--WE select acreage, or plots, or lots
in the order that requests arc received TO
do SO. First come, first served We
show no preferences. This is our in
variable policy, whether people buy on
our iudsment without seeing the prop
critics or whether they visit the prop
critics and buy what appeals to them
most
This is a point that am sure readers
,y;lI sppreciate. When all stand on the
came platform and have the same oppor-
tunities and are asked uniform prices
thew are certainly getting a square deal
don't you think SO?
So many reservations of acreage, plots
and lots arc being made, and initial pay
mcnts deposited, that you, readers, it
Won arc thinking of investing in realty
In the Miami zone, should get in your
application as soon possible and be
listed for trip to Miami by boat or ran
next Fall or Winter, at the expense OF
the Montrsy Corporation.
Obviously, a limit must be placed on
the number of people tho Montray Cor
poration will be able to transport to
Miami by boat or rail ncxt Fall or Win
ter. becauee Of the great amount OF
travel during these seasons to this pop
ulsr resort.
Furthermore, reservation now ot
acreage, or plots. or lots, at present
prices protects you on these prices until
YOU have seen all Of the properties ot
Miami. This is important, in my judg-
ment. because Of the cver-increasing
v,I,e, IN Miami zons realty. Some idea
Of tbcse increases will be unfoIdcd to
you later on in this article.
