THE WISE MAN is the one who can find a bargain in a first class improved property suitable to his needs and tastes, as such i niprove men ts.a t the present time have so much greater value than in years past, due to the advance in materials. * Such an opportunity we offer in the splendid property at the corner Of Fifth and Wesley avenue. The ground representing 150 (bet on Wesley avenue by no feet on Fifth, street, is extremely desirable for cottage sites. The improvements on, this ground comprise the splendid slate ftmfed, 1 6 room building on the corner, and out-buildings. The improvements could not be reproduced today for less than from Si 2.000.00 to S14.000.00 and the ground is easily worth from S5.000.00 to S6,ooo.oo. We offer this property for less j than half its value on attractive terms. It is extremely desirable either for a large family or a select Board- j iug Cottage or for Booming purposes, and the buyer can sell off cottage sites as lie may desire, and so control the character of building alxiut it without lessening the necessary ground for the main building. 'I'his corner has the eastern and southern exposure which is the most to lie desired, the outlook j is upon the Park with no buildings to intervene, -and the grounds contain beautiful trees and shrubbery, more in fact than any other cottage grounds in Ocean City, garage ami servants' house upon the premises. Building is heated, gas and electric light in every room, two bath rooms, ample piazzas, etc. Photographs and all particulars will be scut on application. A wonderful bargain. MASSEY & EDWARDS
