This plot h as a frontage of 100 fast on Southern Railway, with side-track already In , and the property stands through to South Boulevard Extension. This Is one of the few high-class av allable manufacturing sites In Char lotte, and offers a splendid opportu nlty for Investment.

This price Is very little more than residence property is bringing, and will surely double In value In a few years.
