, VALUABLE PROPERTY
SOLD HERE THURSD'Y
An important real estate
transaction was consummated
here last Thursday when the
old Loughlin building property
was sold at public auction to
Price Furpless, of Southport,
and B. May, of Wilmington.
A surprising feature of the
sale was the low prices paid
for this property, located In
the heart of Southport's business
district. Mr. Furpless paid
8825.00 for a 444-foot corner
lot, which fronts on Moore
Street. The 22-foot lot next to
that property went to Mr. May
for $315.00.
The brick salvaged from the
ruins of the fire-razed Loughlin
.-building were divided be
tween the purchasers. It is understood
that Mr. May will
begin at once reconstructing
the building which formerly
stood on his property as new
quarters for his Specialty
Shop.
