G5S ' ' . - Don't If you suffer from any kind of female troubles, don't hesitate to take Wine of Cardui. It is a medicine which for over half a century, has proved of remarkable efficacy In just such diseases. ' . "For the last nine years", writes Sam'l. L. Davidson, the well known real estate operator of 1655 Eliot St, Denver, Colo., "my wife suffered from female troubles, and if it had not been for OTE OF lil-I Woman's Relief she would be suffering yet I broke up my business East to bring her here, but It did not Im prove her general health. Our physician could not help her, ana all his skill came to naught "She asked him if there was no known cure for female trouble. He said there was a patent medicine, but would not tell her its name. So she asked her druggist, and he recommended Wine of Cardui. After trying it, my wife says that Cardui, with plenty of fresh air, will do mdre than all the doctors combined,' and we recomi ) mend it to all female sufferers, where no surgical opera- .

J it from their choice selection of properties, preferring rather a gradual development of the property as the natural demand should come from homeseekers and investors. . But inasmuch as outside parties have forced the issue we must, as up-to-date business men, meet any and all competition and we shall therefore with the assistance of the well known broker, Mr. J. Edgar Poag, of Rock Hill, and his auctioneer begin on Wednesday morning at 10 a. m. sharp a series of sales of those choice building lots which we are just opening up "At Wilmoope" That fine property at the foot of Tryon street and directly opposite Dihvorth, conducting the sales each day for as many days as our competitors keep it up, sales ( losing promptly each day at the end of one hour. " ' Also at 2 p. m., each day beginning with Wednesday of this week we shall hold auction sales of choice lots at "HILL CREST" or the Providence Road or East Avenue immediately adjoining "Craighead Park" offering the same sized lots and on the same terms of sales as made by our competitors and if our lots at Hill Crest don't hold out we will continue the sales at PIEDMONT PARK as may be announced in this space later in sections of that fine suburb where improve ments have not been completed, on 10th Street, Seigle Street and Jackson Avenue. One Important Point We wish to call your special attention to in these sales. ' , For eight years we have been handling Real Estate in Charlotte and we can point with some degree of pride to our work, especially at Piedmont Park. We pledged ourselves to certain improvements over there when the property was first purchased, such as a car line, city water, sewer system, street ' improvements, etc. and we have lived up to our statements. f We expect to continue to sell Real Estate in Charlotte for many years to coine and are not here simply to unload our property and move on leaving our custom ers to whistle for the necessary improvements to their property. : fl In the present sales we shall sell every other lot or pair of lots reserving alternate lots ourselves and pledge ourselves to follow the sales as rapidly as possi ble v illi the improvements needed to make the property more valuable including street improvements water and se er system; lite hydrants, lights and transpor tation where needed. ' '. - ; YOUB INTERESTS AND OURS ARE ONE, for we will still own one-half the property and expect to make that one-half worth the present price of the whole by these improvements and present buyers will profit with us in the matter as improvements are made and mnces advanced. ! : ' ' We are not here to sell out and quit,' but to stand by and do our best toward the development of Greater Charlotte and we invite all our friends,' who are inter ested in the purchase of Real Estate to attend these sales and get a share in the best selection of suburban building lots now to be found on the Charlotte market. As to Presents With Each Sale ; :; We do not know your taste in such matters, and will therefore, offer to eacheash buyer at this sale $10 in gold, and to each customer wha buys on easy terms, $5 in gold. We have aOO lots to sell fro mour several properties so that at an average of $7.50 per lot, this will mean, if all lots are sold,' O " $3,750 in Gold For Our Customers " To out of town buvers who attend these sales and buy one of our lots, we wil also refund their railroad fare. 4 , x REMEMBER. To reach Wilmooro take the Dilworth car stop at Park Avenue, go down one block to the right and you are there- Sales 10 to 11 a, m., beginning Wednesday.
