GLENNVILLE
INVESTMENT CO.
As w ill be seen form a page ad.
in Tin* Monitor, t in- (J lennvilll-
Investment Co. will put their pro
perty up for d ivision J-’ebruary *><l..
when all share holders, those who
have bought lots from the com- '
puny, wdJ get tln-ir property.
Many hits have been sdd t Mont -
gomcry county people, mid doubt
less others will take advantage, nl
the opportunity to secure vniliable
property before the division. Tin* i
plan of division will la-conducted •
by the share holders, and will be
fa i r aml just to all pa rs ies concern
ed, each get t ing a perfect title to
the property assigned to him by
t be plan eliosi-n.
Their proposition is a most re- ■
markable one, and lias many ad
vantages for the purchaser. He
cun lose nothing, as all of tin
pro pert v in t hoi r plots is valuable,
including a large number of im
proved lots containing dwelling*
nnd brick and stone bouses, all of
which will go in at the uniform
price of SIOO u lot. Tin- men com
posing this company are among
the best e.i* izens of Tat t nail coun
ty, and the plan of selling the
(ilent’ville property held by them
is guaranteed to be perfect and
fair to all. They want to build
up the town, and in this they will
succeed; for the place has already
reaclu-d the i-state of a thriving
and prosperous place, with a free
public school system, two rail
roads, variety works and is sur
rounded by a very line farming
sod ion. WiLhin fi\ ■ years (llenn
ville will doubtless have a popiihi-
I ion of six or eight I Inm-and.
With only a few more day- re
maining in which to take up this
proposition, we advise those who
; contemplate buying to d . so at
"lice. Full description of the
plan and property can be had at
this ollire. Money cannot be put
in a bettor thing. The terms of
tlns sale are most liberal, .lu-l
