TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SANDHILLS
For exactly sixteen years and one month I have labored faithfully in this communitr to DEVELOP and BUILD. I believe the Register of
Deed’s office in Carthage will show that more different transfers of Real Estate have been made in Moore County AS A DIRECT RESULT OF MY
EFFORTS than through the efforts of any other two or three combined. I know for a certainty that this is true with reference to TOWN PROPERTY
AND FARM LANDS IN AND AROUND ABERDEEN. I have labored night and day largely getting new families into the community from ^her
sections and on subdivisions and development projects in and around Aberdeen. Today there is not one single road or path leadig out of Aberdeen
in any direction that does not show homes and clearings ^.ade by me or b y new settlers in this past sixteen years
WHOM I PERSONALLY HAVE IND UCED TO LOCATE HERE
and become part of the busmess life of this community. You can’t name a single street in Aberdeen (I have named lots of them) that I have not
sold property on. A large percentage of the homes (most all the new ones) are built on lots that I sold.
Unfortunately, I have re-invested
but I have borrowed from ‘‘Tom, Dick and

In conjunction with the American Realty and Auction Company, of Greensboro, N. C., I SHALL GIVE AWAY what equities I have in all
