A lack of houses in town usually in
dicates the growth and progress. On
this score, Fitzgerald may be satisfied
if one property owners experience is a
sample. This man had twenty-six appli-
cants for a single cottage as soon as
it was seen to be vacated and that was
for less than whole day. Duplicating
this was the case of lady some time
ago, whose advertisement in the Lea
der was answered by twenty-one appli
cants within twenty-four hours. also
since that time she is careful not to
advertise in the paper-it was so much
trouble to have SO many callers.
