The safest investment on earth is
earth itself.
Renters get a divorce from your
landlords.
What can you seel your bundle of
rent receipts for twelve months from
now? Not one cent. Then why ac
cumulate such property?
Take the map, go and examine
these lots so you will be ready to bi’y
when the numbers are called by the
auctioneer.
Stop it by buying a lot and build
ing a house and home on it through
one of the Building and Loan Asso
ciations of Gaffney.
This is a fine opportunity for per
sons wishing to invest in property or
build a home in Gaffney, “The Pro
gressive City," “The Queen of the
Riedmont" which has grown since
1890 from a village with 1,600 peo
ple to a city of 8,000 or more.
If you want to live in a wide-awake
town, the county seat, where you can
enjoy educational and many other ad
vantages, it will pay you to buy as
an investment. Even idle proprety
in Gaffney earns profits, the town is
growing so steadily.
WANTED—5,000 people to come
from every section of the county and
State and say to some one else:
“Meet me at the Jefferies sale Decem
ber 14th.
ALL WORK NO PLAY makes Jack
a dull boy. Lay aside business cares
and work and attend this sale DE
CEMBER 14TH.
TO THOSE PAYING RENT.
How much longer do you expect to
invest in rent receipts. Will you
never stop paying tribute to your
neighbor? He was once as poor
as you but made a start by buying a
lot, and through trials and tribula
tions erected a cottage even though
ever so humble. .You can do the
same and in less than a year be un
der your own roof. Get your tfife at
tend this sale and we guarantee if
you will take her advice and make
the first payment she will accomplish
the rest.
With the population of Gaffney and
the county increasing daily, the Elec
tric Power being developed on the
river, and the great railroad advant
ages, all Real Estate is bound to be
come more valuable, and you will not
have an opportunity like this every
day in the year to buy property at
your own figures. Don’t stand back
and expect to buy any of this prop
erty after this sale is over. It will
cost you more, and the other fellow
will make the profit. Look ever the
list carefully and select the piece of
property you want and be ready to
bid on it when offered by the auction
eer.
This is very desirable property for
homes for working people as it is
only a short distance to the business
part of the city. Buy some of this
property for homes or speculation as
it is bound to increase in value as the
city grows.
Now, stop, read and think for your
self. Don’t depend on the other fel
low to advise you what to bid on any
of the property, because he expects
to buy some of it for himself and is
not in a position to give you an un
prejudiced opinion. Look around you
and see how the value of real estate
has advanced by leaps and bounds.
BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE CROWD
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A LIT
TLE FUN WITH BUSINESS.
This is the only available residence
properly situated so near the heart
of the city in bulk.
Buy now at your own price and in
a short time sell at a handsome profit,
for the land is bound to be worth
more money. We are going to give
you the opportunity, and will be glad
to have you take a shot at it for bet
ter or for worse.
No better Investment than Gaffney
dirt; no better time to invest than
NOW. This city is just on the eve of
BIG THINGS. Let every Business
man, every Home-Seeker, every Spec
ulator and every Public Spirited citi
zen attend this sale as it is a rare
chance for bargains in the most de
sirable property. PROFITS AND
PRESENTS WILL BE HANDED OUT
TO YOU.
This is the greatest opportunity
ever offered to the working people of
Gaffney. .Such liberal terms were
never offered before and may never
be again. Avail yourself of the op
portunity now. Now is the time.
Don’t wait.
Money planted here will double in
value inside of three years; make our
prediction. Don’t miss this chance,
it is a rare one; will not occur again!
Gaffney already has five Cotton
Mills—some very large ones—three
Banks, three Building and Loan As
sociations, Ice Factory, Fertilizer
Plant, Machines Shop and Foundry,
three Lumber Companies and Wood
Yard, two Oil Mills and large Gin
neries, two Lime Companies, Street
Railway operated by steam, five
Churches and Schools in every sec
tion of the town, including two excel
lent Graded Schools, one recently
built, and the famous historic Lime
stone Female College.
The city owns and operates its
water and light plants and may soon
have and Electric Street Railway
system, and will vote on sewerage in
the next few months.
There is one million dollar power
plant and another in course of con
struction on the river nearby, with
lines running through the city and
power for all purposes can be had at
very reasonable figures.
REMEMBER!
This property is near the heart of the city, convenient to schools, churches, business houses, and only three minutes walk from depot. It will be offered
at your oun price and must ho sold, as I need the money and mu*t sell the property. Terms of Sale: One-fourth cash and balance in three yearly pay
