| BIO-DAY - FOR-SELMA j | December 18th, 1908 | I Be Sure to Attend Mitchener's Third and | Last Town Lot Sale at Selma, N. C., I December 18, 1908 at 2:30 P. M. Sharp 18 HI On the above date and on the property I will sell to the highest bidder about forty residence and business lots lo ? cated right in the residence and business part of the town. This is positively my third and last sale of these choice || |j| lots. Any buyer at my former sales is my reference. In many cases the lots have over-doubled in value---Act- ? |g ually changed hands at double the auction price. Some are not for sale; others have expensive buildings, one ||| Is costing over ten thousand dollars. The property I will offer on December 18th, is within almost a stones throw te S| of my first sales, situated right in the heart of the residence and business part of the town, almost surrounded by |!| |g new buildings, near the Graded School Building on the north side of the Southern Railway. ||| Is A handsome "Little church just around the Corner"?the Episcopal, is just about completed. Another church, i| IS the Baptist, costing nearly twelve thousand dollars, is now used by its congregation. The Methodist we have had |g with us a long time. Our negro population have three churches, making our town a religious and educational feg |g centre. ?| ||j No better place can offer better property on better terms and now is the time and the only time you will ever have to gj Select Your Lot Out of 40 or More | m ... .8 lg The Masonic Lodge and store, and the adjoining store and building cost over ten thousand dollars and making ^ two of the handsomest stores in the County are now completed. The large Fertilizer Factory, Cotton Seed Oil Mill, two Cotton Mills and another on foot, the Knitting Mill, the Iron Foundry, extensive lumber plant, brick- ? a| yard and Ginneries, two large hotels all testify to the confidence in our town by "Inside and Outside" Capital feg ^ seeking to invest in a town with a bright future before it. Visit the place today, see if the above statements be ||| true and then all doubts as to the wisdom of buying one of these choice lots will be removed. I admit there has gg been a better time to invest in Selma dirt. H ft But Today is Better Than Tomorrow |j |g| I made this statement at my first sale. Time has proven its truism. Time will prove the truism of the pj ||j statement today in a more emphatic and substantial way. Mark this prediction: The Profits Will he |g Is Greater this time for those who seize the opportunity to buy a home site. 0| 1 Tw/o Reasons For Selling | j9i y y i fl ? . v * ? wm * ? * ? ? ? . - Mi 1 aesireto improve other property---thus adding to the value of your investment-don't believe vacant ljj| jp property should stand in the way of the progressive wave that is sweeping over our town and County---the |js |g most progressive in the State. I therefore offer the opportunity, especially to the young man who desires to ||j jH buy a home-site on terms that he can meet---let the cost be what it will. B Terms: One third cash, one and two years on deferred payments---Deferred payments to draw interest from pj ||S day of sale at six per cent per annum; or four percent off on deferred payments if paid by January 1, 1909. j|| 1 A Proposition: | \$) At the end of two years, I will take the property back and pay all losses in depreciation, if the pur chaser will (I) (I) agree on day of sale to divide profits equally.
