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.
