Benbow, formerly resident man ager here, now proprietor of The Ben bow, Greensboro's largest and best hotel, was a recent visitor in Pinehurst. Mr. Benbow says that Greensboro is boom ing ; that its real estate is advancing in valuation according to location, from twenty to one hundred per cent yearly, and that the population has increased from 11,750 in 1900 to over 23,000 at the present time. He says, however, that the growth of the place is now being retarded bv lack of capital, simply because no dwellings can be rented for homes and no build ings are available for business purposes. Mr. Benbow believes that fiftv dwell ings costing from $1000 to $2000 each could be rented before completion at from twelve to fifteen per cent on the cost, according to location, and that even still cheaper houses would rent well and give good returns in the way of in terest, and at the same time steadily in ciease in valuation.
