New Corporation May Mean Much
to Future of City.
The Ellsworth Realty Co., articles
for the Incorporation of which are
now in Augusta, has been formed for
the development and improvement of
Ellsworth real estate. 1t bids fair
to become an important factor in the
future development of the city.
The prime mover in the project is
DR.. Daniel E. Brown, an Ellsworth
boy who, after several years of sue
cessful practice of his profession in
Brockton, Mass, has returned to
make Ellsworth his home. He is now
completing a pleasant bungalow near
his log cabin on the Burnham farm
on the Lamoine road.
DR.. Brown is an Ellsworth enthusi-
asst. He is not only lover of Ellis
worth, but believer in Ellsworth's
future prosperity. He has been
liberal contributor to the Ellsworth
high school building fund. He says
the people here do not realize what
they have, and what is before Ellis
worth in the way of growth and
prosperity. The city, he says, has
survived the inevitable depression
following the decline of the lumber
ing industry, has struck bedrock,
and is now building up again on a
firmer foundation than ever before,
as it is not dependent upon any one
industry. AS the natural trading
center for large territory, the COM
ing of the automobile spells pros
perity for Ellsworth.
Mrs. Brown is no less a lover of
Ellsworth than is her husband. She
Is an Ellsworth girl, daughter of
A. F. Burnham, the venerable dean
of the Hancock county bar, now past
ninety years of age.
Associated with DR.. Brown in the
realty company are G. P. Holland,
president of the Plymouth County
Trust Co. of Brockton, Mass, and
j. J. Cooper, vice-president of the
same company. These gentlemen,
who were recent guests of DR.. Brown
here, were impressed with the nat
ural beauties of Ellsworth and it's
surroundings, and with the possibil-
tiles of the city. The organization
of the realty company was the natu-
raj result. DR.. Brown is president
and business manager, Mr.. Cooper
is treasurer, anu MI. I1Ollduu anu
Mrs. Brown complete the director
ate.
Already the gentlemen interested
have made important purchases of
real estate in Ellsworth, mostly in
business property, to which the COM
pany will take title as soon as it is
regularly incorporated. The pur-
chases include the Lords hall build
ing, the Forsyth building adjoining,
and the Black building on the north
side of Main street, now occupied
by the Shapiros. These three build
ings were bought of DR.. A. G. Hag-
erthy The, Holmes block on the
south side of Main street has been
purchased of Mrs. F. E. Tilden's es-
tate, and negotiations are practically
closed for the purchase of the Greedy
building. adjoining the First Nation
al Bank building, of Mrs. Assunta
Luchini Boyer.
The realty company proposes to
improve these buildings, and Dr.
Brown promises a better looking
Main street within short time.
Other purchases include the
Moore buildings at Ellsworth Falls,
which have been sold to Arthur c.
Brown, a nephew of DR.. Brown, who
has also purchased the Harden place
on the Lamoine road, which he is i'm
proving for a summer home.
