* * \ i IF YOU WANT TO BUY Otf SELL PROPERTY. Reduce your propositions to writ ing, correctly described, on contract and description blanks furnished from this office. • Conducting business on the old hand to mouth, careless plan leaves too much room for dis putes and arguments. When argu ments are in black and white, disputes can be easily settled. It is not a good idea to be a life time learning how to conduct business on business principles. “Penny wise and pound foolish” trying to save all and spend none, is narrowminded. Let all honest professions have their share of what is going. The country needs more confidence and less evasion of laws, more truth and honesty. If we are afraid of each other it is difficult to accomplish much. Liars, thieves and grafters should be denounced from the housetop. Let the best pec> pie of the country pull together and see that the laws are enforced, other wise the laws are useless. It is the mutual interest of clients and this office that business should be trans acted on clean business principles, void of misrepresentations. When prospective buyers find property mis represented after investigation, they naturallv lose confidence and are hard to interest further. Let property be as good or better than represented. Then confidence is gained and deals are easier to get through. Ask those who transact through this office how much time, trouble and money they save If your grist is not ground you pay no toll. Options should be renew ed promptly when they expire. W e want all the good property and re liable clients on oiw list possible. Valuable properly and responsible customers are much pleasanter and more profitable to handle. It is the mutual welfare oi the country at large to help put life and value in the soil, the foundation to all other business. When you put. va tie in tue DIRT, you put life in the inhabitants and business of the land. There is nothing coming to us until clients have been benefited, therefore our proposition is on'* of the tair<’st in America. Kindly let us have yoiy offers on anything in our charge, as well as your questions, otherwise we can do you but little good. Don’t wait to see us. write or wire your offer. Below you will see a p;*rt of my offer ings in this community. If nothing to suit you, kindly let us know what you desire, giving an idea of the price and terms preferred. It is useless for us to offer you a valley if you want to buy a mountain, a small farm if a large one. a cheap house if a costly one. If we know exactly what you want we stand a better chance to fix you up. This office is ready to ex change favors with reliable real es tate men throughout the country. The railroads and real estate men are the proper ones to populate and develop the resources of the land with a high class of immigrants. * CHEROKEE COUNTY.
