SELLS 200 LOTS IN ONE OR,

Are Advertising Cape May While Belling Suburban Lota About Pitta burg.

Tbe following article, of Interest to Cepe May people, appeared In tbs Pittsburg "Press” of Sunday. May 8. Tbe Beecbwood Improvement Company referred to Is composed of tbe same capitalists who constitute tbe Cepe May Real Estate Company, tbs tardier being tbe parent company. Tbe "Press" article in part follows: Ra»l estate agents, acreage Payer* and others are keenly watching tbe result of the Beech wood Improvement Co.'s sale of lota in Weal Liberty Plan No. &, which opened Thursday. This is tbe initial sale of tbe season, tbe Beech wood Company always being first In tbe field. Owing to tbe money stringency and the lot market being overstocked last summer most of the real estate men about town have been of tbe opinion that this would be a bad year for lot sales. That they were grievously mistaken was shown by the results at West Liberty during tbe three days tbe

sale has been on.

Tbe sale opened Tboraday, and KM lots war* sold before nightfall. Friday is al ways a doll day, but tbe Beech wood people were pleasantly surprised st tbe way buyers came out. Yesterday morning a rush began, and by last nignt almost 300 lota hud been disposed of. This is a remarkablb record. Peter Shields, tbe hustling iretary of tbe Beech wood Improvement Co., who is directing the field operations said yesterday that If tbe weather is fair. 300 additional lota will be disposed of lodsy. This would msbe about 400 lota sold In four day*, or an average of 100 per day. This does not look as df people did not have any mouey. We are tmmenoely pleased with tbe sale so far," said Mr. Shields yesterday. It shows people have money and will spend It on the right kind of pronertyOny remarkable tbiog I noticed about this sale is tbe number Of out-of-towjs people who either bought or made inquiries. Tbe big fortune* made in Pittsburg real e» have caused people living within 130 mile* of here to look Into Ibis class pf investment. You have no idea bow Pittsburg is talked about elsewhere. At Rgw Cape May, where we are spending mil Boos of dollars, I meet people from all over tbe country wbo want to knoro- everything there is about Pittsburg realty'. We have sold many Iota in West Liberty to out-of town residents wbo waul to own something in or cloee to the city.*’ • • • • • Mr. Shields left Isst night for Cape May i resume work directing affairs connected with tbe mammoth improvements at that place. During bit absence D. R. Dee ly, assistant secretary of tie Beechwood Improvement Co., will ba in active charge West Liberty. Mr. Deely baa been associated with Mr. Shields for tbe last desan years, and much, of tbe Beechwood Company's success has been doe to bis indefatigable effort*. Mr. Deely expects to cloee oat all of tbe remaining lota at West Lib erty within another week or 10 days.
