The Speculator

TT has been brought to our attention
l. that there are serious complaints that
the big auction sale of l, ,578 brick houses
at Camden and 800 houses at Bristol will
be exclusively for the benefit Of the specu-
lator, and that the small home owner will
not have "look-in."
This is an unwarranted criticism OF the
Shipping Board, and an injustice to my
reputation for fair dealing. The Shipping
Board gave me most positive instructions
that the individual hcme-buyer be given
the utmost consideration and every op-
portunity.
The houses are to be offered singly so
that any individual may buy an in
dividual house. My advertising has been
directed most particularly to the in
dividual, to bring to his attention the
great probable increase in value in
Camden and the unique opportunity to
procure for himself and his family
beautiful dwelling at the auction bid
,gice. This is an opportunity Of life
time-if the individual fails to seize the
opportunity, it is rot M fault.
I have pointed out, however, that
must occept the h.ghesr It'd. This is such
a unique and great Offering that un-
doubtedly spectators and shrewd in
vestors will be lowering around to "snap
up" bargains. In justice to the United
States Government, it would be wrong
to prevent the speculator and investor
from buying if he bids the highest price;
butr-there are great number Of houses,
and many bargains are bound to be had.
Let no man, after this sale, say that the
spectators have been favored. Rather
let every man who has thoughts of a
house, attend this sale; let him see how
simple, open and above-board every.
thing is and what ample opportunity he
has to buy if only he has few dollars
available; let him bid on the house he
desires, and if some other person pays
higher, let him bid on another.
But, if he fails to attend this sale and
bid, let him ever after hold his peace.
If, having failed to attend the sale, he
afterward pays profit to some specu-
lator, the faults is his-not mine. l
give him FAIR WARNING.

peeved at Semon because he, although
a novice, does three or four times the

That there is real cause for the
