FOB SALE AT A SACRIFICE ON BROADWAY, WEST CAPE MAY HOUSE AND LOTS I am offering real bargains for a j limited time to those who may be think- j ing of building new homes. I am quite aure 1 am, with the choice location of r lota and conditions, very much lower | than can be bought in any other part wt the borough. First of all 1 offer my home for which 1 have no longer use, to anyone wishing to occupy a house My home, a 2 1-2 story house with - 8 large rooms and good cellar, recently renovated by painting outside and thru, out inaide and a new porch. And altho 1 have reduced the price $200 or more, no rcaaonable offer will be refused, if made within a reasonable time. This house is on • one of the highest and most beautiful sites on Broadway, 80x140 feet, well shaded, with a front wall of finest masonry, mounted by a heavy iron fence. Or I will sell with the three large lota adjoining with a frontage of 191 feet and with the house frontage 241 feet on Broadway, for $4000 free nqd clear of all incumbrance with indisputable title, cash or on easy terms. ELEVMJT LOTS ( I also offer on the side streets of this t block eleven lots as follows for a rea- < aonable time only — four lota on the i north side of Landis (Seventh avenue) c running from 2101-2 to 2181-2 feet in < depth with a fifty feet front on three 1 lots and eighty-four and a half feet f front on the fourth lot, and all on an i •»er SO feet wjde avenue, which 1 will t •ell for $400 each except the latter. Also four lots 50 feet front on the opposit or south side of same avenue for •250 with rebate of $25 to those building homes within three months. Also three lota on Sixth avenue (Me- c ehanic street 50x108 feet for $250 each. 1 Also two elegant lota on Broadway '' between the ho met of Mr. Willis and * Jdra. Albert Johnston which I offer at '' $600. clear, each. 1 have put prices of all my lots down from $50 to $150 each from the former * prices. " I especially invite your inspection of * the large high 1.4 acre lots on Landis a •venue and to the first house on that j, •treet just finished by Mr. Wilbur £ Turner which when completed will be a one of the prettiest home of the bor- „ «ugh. Mr. Joseph Roseman will begin very soon the erection of a handsom (| bungalow on the opposite aide of the 0 name street. This avenue wjll also be o one of the finest short streets we have a in the borough. You will then see for B yourself how attractive and valuable those large lots are. This is the only SMoadway block of inaide lots not fully built up on either side of Broadway and therefore necessary to the progress of the improvements of the town. Another feature not" observed by otliere that this is to be a block of homes Where no objectionable person can buy a lot at any price and depreciate the Value of their neighbor's property. We want to attract people who want to make new homes feel secure in havtag a home among all new homes; to _ make it a model settlement socially and In all its material surroundings. A builder will contract to build a house with six rooms and bath with the best of material, completely finished and painted— on one of the " lots on the South side of Landis avenue, a fifty foot wide street, with the price of lot included for $1050 or one 16x36 containing six larger rooms with 3 rooms and bay window and snn parlor on first floor s, and 3 bed rooms and bath on second floor, on one of said lots and including D it, for $1225. JJ Why not, through or outside of the Building anjl Loan Association, have your own home in 8 or 9 years or at j( once if yon have the money, instead of j, paying rent to pay for some other man's house! Come and see me and we will talk over the project of a new borne. Yours truly, - J. 1, LANDIS.
