St. Johns!
A town that has a greater future than
any othm on the Tacilic onst. St.
Johns is built cn a solid foundation; it
has tuilt up a payroll of (ii6.000.00 per
mouth in the !st four yean.
Tiie large industries are now spending
million-, m d at tl,ee improvement are
eac iday becauing r.ear completion, it
mean i that St. Johns will be a great
city in a s'lirttims
Speaking from my own experience
and fir the benefit of ihese who will
prosper by taking ray advice, I w ill say
that one year ngo I bocght 100x100 feet
of property for 1200.00 and iu the uirnth
ol October of the wne ear just lieforc
the panic I told it for -000.00 and the
the parties who bought it of me are now
offered $ H 00 00 but refused. Please re
member that it cost me time and money
for my experience, but will give you my
Word of lienor that it you rare to make
nil investment, I will give von tho bei.e
flt of my experience.
I want to iar Hint you muet not think
that all property is advancing as this as
tome lias been at a stand still since our
panic but will say that I look for alt
prop ii ty Ho t is now held at a fair price
to advance and my reatons are that the
improvements here are being carrieJon.
M v friend, don't wait for after election
to invest in St. Johns for It wilt cost you
at least 25 per cent more o.i properly
that I ill recommend to you.
For further information write or call
at uiv office and I will gladly give you
my best judgment at all times.
