SOLDIER ANXIOUS
TO LIVE in CITY
Serviceman Wants Cham
Der OF Commerce To
Buy Him Lot Here

1t took the war to make one
Yankee soldier decide he
wanted to spend the balance
of his life in Wilmington.
Two V-mail letters from a
New Yorker, now stationed in
England, to the chamber Of
commerce here, show that he
not only wants to settle in
Wilmington after the war, but
wants to buy land here-and
now.
Writing the chamber for at
sistance in purchasing a one
acre lot here, Cpl. M. Gilman
said ri was stationed at the
Air Base near Wilmington and
found I liked North Carolina
very much. 1 live in New York
state but would like very
much to make my home in
North Carolina"
The corporal didn't give rea-
sons for his attachment to
Wilmington, but ince rely
wrote "when 1 return to the
states intend to stay in New
York for few months, and
then 1 want to be able to come
to North Carolina and know 1
have some land waiting there
for me-"
He was specific in the selec-
ton of his site, as he wanted
one acre of land near a good
road and not over five miles
from the city limits, preferably
on a bus line.
The soldier was sincere in
his desire to purchase land
now, sight unseen, but the
chamber suggested he wait
until after the war. There will
still be plenty Of land here
then.
