To tho Public:
In disposing of my Walnut Park Add'i
tion I used the advertising columns of The
Modford Mail Tribune exclusively . A striking

realty dealers is the fact that I sold the last
20 lots in less than the same number of days at
top notch prices, during what is considered by
realty men the dullest season of the year.
