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. MONEY TO LOAN ON IMPROVED REAL ESTATE GEO. A. BRIGGS PHONE 1551 417 D yer BUILDING of rest and recreation.
