Jesse Il. Bradley, Letter Car

Realty Company

Jesse H. Bradley, who within one
year has made a spectacular for
tune in Florida real estate and
earned for himself the title OF 1.-The
millionaire rural letter carrier" is
today visiting Washington friends
on his way to the Cleveland postal
convention, where he has been sent
as a delegate from the Florida
Rural Letter Carriers Association.
When Mr.. Bradley returns to Flor
ida next month he will resign as
a rural letter carrier after seven
teen years service and become the
vice president of Lee Brooks Weeds.
Inc, one OF the strongest realty
organizations in the State. Be-
fore returning to Florida he will
go to Kansas, where he will help
his mother and father celebrate
their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
He says his parents are eighty
seven and eighty-three years old,
and appear good for many more
years. inasmuch as they visit him
in Miami each year.
Borrowed for Trip
A year ago Mr.. Bradley, on his
way to the National Rural Letter
Carriers convention in st. Paul,
was practically broke. He bor-
rowed $500 to make the trip.
This year he travels with the
plea SAINT knowledge that his home
in Miami and the two and one-half
acres which surround ii are worth
$1,OO0,00O and that his real estate
holdings and bank account run into
enough extra ciphers TO make you
dizzy.
An automobile accident, which
Mr.. Bradley figured in after he re-
turned from the st. Paul convention
last year, and for many weeks
threatened to exact his life, is re-
sponsible for his meteoric rise in
the financial world.
Unable to travel his thirty-five-
mile route out of Miami. Mr.. Brat
ley had to find less rigorous work,
so he began listing properties for
the realty concern of which he is
TO become vice president Knowing
practically all of the residents in
the Miami region, and being con
nected with a firm which was sell
ing more acreages in Florida than
any other, his commissions began
to pile up.
1t was not long before he began
buying property on his own account
and selling it. II was not long
before he made in one deal more
than he could make as a rural let.

Growth Is Solid

The Washington Times today, that
there is no boom in Florida. 1t is
a steady, solid growth. Within two
years Miami will be the largest
city in the State.
What guarantees Miami's flu
ture are two God-giyen resources.
The first is the Gulf Stream and
the second is the perpetual sun

ARLINGTON COUNTY, Aug. %.
Considerable opposition is being
expressed by the citizens of Lee
way regarding the proposed con-
struction OF the Washington Lough-
borough belt line, said Henry
Thomas today.
The Citizens Association has
passed resolutions which will be
presented to Arlington County
Civic Federation protesting its
construction, in which they claim
the proposed railroad would bring
into the county "a floating and
largely alien class OF people," and
would be absolutely at variance"
with the county's regional develop.
ment plan
Promoters of the railroad have
estimated that 10000 freight cars
would pass over the road in a
month. The smoke and dust from
such traffic, the resolutions point
out, would constitute a nuisance
and decrease property values.

While the losses entailed to

likewise, stands to suffer from the
isolation which the enforcement Of

has imposed upon the capital city
of South China. Canton is a city
of upwards of 500 900 persons, alb
