The Value of Location
Location Practically Determines the
Value of Land
Anacre in the heart of the business section of Sumter Recently brought^ $60,000.
An acre equally as good in other respects, but two miles out, will hardly bring
$60. Farm lands injhe thickly home-settled sections of Marlboro County are
bringing $150 an acre. Equally good lands in Northern Williamsburg County
scarcely bring $15 an acre.
Sumter County has the best railroad
facilities of any of the fine land coun?
ties of the Upper Costal plain of the
section that embraces tke best com,
cotton and general crop soils of the
State. Lands throughout this territory
are going to bring prices in the near
future that: will be eye-openers for the
"OLD TIMERS."
The tract of 300 acres, 3 miles from
Sumter, which I am offering for sale at
?12,500 gives some man who appre?
ciates the value of good location, the
opportunity to get something that will
respond to proper treatment. A vear
under good farming will add 50^ to
the selliug value of the property; 60^
of the tract is in cultivation, and prac?
tically all free of stumps. A good six
room dwelling, barns and stables and
() tenant houses equip the place with
all necessary buildings.
If you have $1 2,500 01 one-third of
that amount to invest in a farm, this
is your opportunity.
N. B.?Have sold 14 tracts of farm lands in the past 60 days, but have forty or
