New Owners Have Varying Ideas Seven prominent Brevard busi ness and professional men have purchased 3,000 acres of land in the Eastatoe township on the Rosman-Pickens highway, from H. E. Guyer, it was learned today. The purchase price of this beau tifully located and valuable prop erty was not disclosed, but it is understood to be around $15,000. The seven men are John Ford. E. H. McMahan, W. M. Melton, Bryan Shiflet, Rev. B. W. Thom ason, Alex Patterson and Joe H. Tinsley. These men, who seem to be forming a new real estate syndi cate, have not made any definite plans for development. “In fact, some of them haven’t seen the property yet,” one of the pur chasers declared. Some of them may have a “get rich” idea, but apparently the ma jority of the unincorporated firm's members are more inter ested in some of the property’s attractions. “It’s the most beautiful spot in the world,” one of them asserted. “There are several breath-taking waterfalls on the property, seven and a half miles of good trout fishing streams, fine apple or chards, rolling grasslands, a large home and a number of other buildings." After catching his breath, the one-seventh owner re newed his verbal praise of the property. “Those are the finest trout streams you ever saw and we are going to put 100,000 fish in them right away,” he proudly said. Representing the less aesthetic and more monetary side of the 7 man ownership, another firm member pointed out that there are a million feet of good timber on the property and a vast area of virgin forest. “And another thing,” he declared, “this fine land is located only three miles from Rosman and it borders the Pick ens highway for a distance of over three and a half miles, and includes many ideal building sites.” “The Middle Fork of the French Broad rises on our property and you should see those beautiful wa terfalls. but what appeals to me most is that it will make a fine sheep and livestock farm.” an other owner said enthusiastically. “No. I am not a bit delighted over the purchase,” one of the wives asserted. “My husband has been telling and showing me what a fine place it would make for a summer home, but I can’t see it.” Before any definite development plans can be made, it appears that the seven firm members will have to hold a meeting and talk tin. situation over. It might be well for them to have their wives pres ent. Will they promote a new de velopment or will they make it a recreation center?

Stopping The Times reporter who was hurrying down the street, an owner urged, “Jump in the car and we’ll drive up there right now and see this property; I’ll take you by the office and we’ll make a lot of pictures.” H. E. Guyer, who came down here from Pittsburgh, Pa., a num ber of years ago, bought the land and operated a sheep ranch on it for some time. He and his wife have been living on it since then and they have retained a small section on which they plan to con tinue to live. They paid, it is stated, $30,000 for property.
