The 19% Property advertised in this space last Sunday was sold during the week to Mr. C. A. Crawford.
My Special for this week will not pay 19% in rents by any means, in fact it will pay only about 12% directly in
rents but in another way, enhancement, I believe it will pay 100% in next 5 years.
It is practically undeveloped now and can be bought at the price of undeveloped property but it is on a Broad
Street corner, right in the direction in which Augusta is growing, and the man who gets in “on the ground floor”
will make real money. *
The big money made in Real Lstate is made by the keen men who can see just a little bit further than their
friends and who buy just such property as this at a bargain and sell in a few years to their less shrewd neighbors,
who can t see one block ahead, at a handsome profit. If this property were located one block east people would fall
over themselves to buy it at four times the price at which I will sell, but the majority of people are unable to see
one block ahead.
The property is located at the corner of Broad and Fourteenth Streets, with a frontage of 57 feet on Broad, 180
feet on Fourteenth, and 70 feet on Ellis. .
Come to my office Monday morning and lets go up and look the property over—it will pay you.
