TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SANDHILLS^
For exactly sixteen years and one month I have labored faithfuUy 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 PROPERTT
AND FARM LANDS IN AND AROUND ABERDEEN. I have labored night and day largely getting new families into the community from other
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 made by me or by new settlers in this past sixteen years
WHOM I PERSONALLY HAVE IND UCED TO LOCATE HERE
and become part of the business 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
after my disastrous, experiences in peaches
ULTIMATE SUCCESS OF THE BIGGER
In the meantime, I have determined to sell,
it will bring. This even includes our home

I want all my friends, and even al!
they can. Then also I want everybody else

Harry every cent I possibly could and invested it in Sandhill land and improvements thereon. Finally
and cotton this year I have reached the end of the row. I BELIEVE WITH MY WHOLE HEART IN THE
AND BETTER SANDHILLS. Where I personally have failed miserably, others will succeed gloriously,
if it IS humany possible to do so, every single piece of real property that I have any equit in for anything
that we have been years and years improving steadily. Really folks it is a tragedy with me—a real

AND BETTER agency than mere humans to do this. fo-pub uowh u. wiu laKe a much HIGHER
