Mr. H. H. Alexander Talks of the Future of Augusta Real
Estate —Recent Sales Indie ate Great Enhancement in
Values. '
Mr. H. H. Alexander, of Alexander
& Steiner, was asked yesterday re
garding the outlook in the local real
estate field and about the present
conditions. He replied that the strin
gency of the money market was pre
venting as much trading from going
on as would be otherwise, but that
there was a bright outlook.
‘There is much trading now”, said
Mr. Alexander, 'when the tightness of
money is taken into consideration and
there have been quite a number of
Broad street sales during the past few
months.
“In some instances some of the
property recently sold brought about
twice as much as was paid for it only
a few years back and that shows how
property is enhancing in value.

real estate and I look for great things
in the not far distant future. With
the erection of two office buildings
within the next year the town will
grow by leaps and bounds and I be
lieve that Augusta’s future is of the
brightest. She is bound to grow and
grow rapidly. More power means
more population and the people must
live somewhere, so houses will be
erected, new sections laid out in
streets and places built to care for the
growing population. The completion
of an enormous power development
proposition will cause industries to
spring up that need cheap power and
the people who operate the industries
will come to Augusta to live. I cannot
say more than that real estate in Au

WEST END FREE LIBRARY
Here a body of good women
maintain a spacious, well-lighted,
cozy reading room whose walls
are garnished with about four
thousand books. A librarian is In
attendance and keeps the Libra
ry open from three to ten o’clock
every week day. There are twen
ty new magazines on the tables,
and games are provided for the
children. Everything Is free; any
man, woman or child may go
there, read or play as long as he
wishes, then go away bearing a
book to amuse or instruct him
between whiles.
It is a neighborhood center,
more so than any other place in
West End. Here news Iss ex
changed, impressions are swap
ped, politics whispered, and good
feelings swashed against each
other.
The greatest demand for read
ing matter is from the children;
they are begging for adventure,
for moving tales of advancement,
and, most of all, for humor. A
number of friends have recently
sent the library batches of Juve
nile hooks. “They done their
duty,” and sowed a whole lot of
happiness somewhere.
Each report of the librarian
bears testimony of the larger and

THREE VITAL POINTS
THE PRlCE—where quality is the same, is the deciding
point in the purchase of any standard grade piano. Note
the following :
Our One-Price Plan—absolutely one—enables us to sell
good pianos for less money than dealers who have a sliding
scale of prices. We sell direct to the consumer, eliminat
ing the middleman’s profit.
, We are the World’s largest manufacturers of pianos,
and our facilities are such as to enable us to place on the
market a high-grade piano for less money than the manu
facturer whose output is limited, or the dealer or agent
whose retail profit must be added to the selling price.
Our prices are based on the sale of 35,000 instruments—
•the yearly output of our factory.
Remember that Kimball Pianos at their regular One
Price are greater bargains than unknown makes made by
unknown makers, and advertised for sale at fifty cents on
the dollar by dealer agents.
You owe it to yourself to investigate our claims beforo
purchasing elsewhere.
Cash, or terms can be arranged.
