Ferris & Conoway,

112 17th St.,

Denver, Colo. Gentlemen:

Replying to your favor of the 7 th would say that the name of the gentleman to whom I sold half of the property
25 bought of you, is R. C. Crane. His Chicago address is now 172 Washington St.; his Oak Park address.I do not know.50

Referring to the Chicago Avenue assessment, would say that I have not yet ascertained the amount; but my portion will be one-half of the
75 taxes on the ninety feet.

Very truly, (82)

Mr. B. A. Davis,

Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir:

Your letter of the 18th inst. received. In it yon do not say you will not entertain an exchange for your property,25 3143 Wabash Avenue. We therefore submit for your consideration a lot 50x145, clear, on Sheridan Drive
50 (Lake Shore Drive), east front, about 150 feet north of Barry Avenue. Barry is about four blocks north of Lincoln Park. Sheridan
75 Drive here is a continuation of the Lake Shore Drive south of Lincoln Park. On that part south of the Park, property has sold at
100 $600.00 to $1,200.00 per foot with practically no offering. The continuation north of the Park is in very strong
125 hands, with very little for sale, and none under $300.00 per foot; and from that price to $600.00 per foot.

A
150 bill is now in the Legislature to extend Lincoln Park to, and a little beyond, the lot we quote. Such an extension will greatly
175 enhance values. Price of lot we offer is $15,000.00.

If you care to consider it, kindly advise; and we will call and tender
200 all the information we have. As showing values, we might state that we can borrow on this vacant lot $150.00 per
225 foot at five per cent.

Hoping to hear from you, we remain

Yours respectfully, (234)

Macon County Title & Trust Co., 140 S. Water St., Decatur, Ill. Gentlemen:

You answered advertisement February 16th, stating you had Calumet Avenue property near 23d, on lot 100x130. Can it
25 be exchanged for Lake Forrest acres? or can it be exchanged at all? Please call and see us.

Respectfully yours, (45)

Mr. B. A. King,

Buffalo, New York. Dear Sir:

Mr. Andrews spoke to us regarding your two-story flat building at above number. Will you kindly give us details of same, size
25 of lot, number of rooms, what heat, rent, encumbrance if any, and price?

Also let us know if you will exchange it, and, if so,50 for what character of property, and where.

Awaiting a reply, we are

Respectfully yours, (64)

151 Mr. T. F. Lewis,

St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sir:

We were fortunate enough about thirty days ago to have offered to us a five acre tract at Beverly Hills. This property adjoins
25 a purchase of ours made in 1899. We have carried our property up to the present time, have put in improvements, paid taxes, interest,50 etc., until in order to make any money we have to ask $50.00 per foot, or $1,250.00 per lot.75

This five acre tract, the particulars of which we enclose, was purchased at the same price we paid for our property nearly ten years
100 ago. Thus we are able to offer you lots in equally as well located blocks at about one-half the price you ordinarily would have to
125 pay.

The owner of the five acre tract became tired of it - wanted to use his money on the Board of Trade - and it was
150 his own proposition that he sell it to us at this low price. Of course, we always avail ourselves of any such opportunity as this,175 believing that if we buy a little under the market we will be able to sell a little under the market, and at the same
200 time make as much money as though we bought at the market and sold at the market.

We would suggest that you purchase two lots,225 a proposition for which we enclose. Of course you would pay 6 per cent interest on deferred payments, with the privilege of paying any time
250 before.

We have other lots we can sell for less, but we do not consider them as cheap as these.

If you wish only one
275 of these lots, we would ask $1,250.00. We sold eight of these lots before we had the plat printed.300

Kindly wire us upon receipt of this letter whether you are in position to accept our proposition. We should like to have you do this
325 in order that we may not lose the sale of any lots by reserving them for any length of time.

Yours very truly, (348)

Woodmen of the World,                   

Cincinnati, Ohio.                      

Gentlemen:                             

Will you consider an exchange of your 50-foot lot on Michigan Avenue south of 56th Street, for a two flat brick building
25 No. 4000 Prairie Avenue ?

If so, kindly advise and we will furnish you details.

Respectfully yours, (42)

Rudolph Kleybolte & Co.,

Omaha, Nebr. Gentlemen:

You wrote us some time ago saying that you had a three-flat building, No. 3900 Wabash Avenue, for exchange.

Will you
25 consider in part payment a clear frame improved on State Street, that has a net rental of $420 per annum, or
50 an acre piece on 95th Street? If so, kindly furnish us details of your property, and a card of admission, and we will make you
75 an offer.

Respectfully yours, (79)

154 Mr. L. A. Anderson,

6943 Washington Ave., Chicago. Dear Sir:

Have you any improved property to exchange for 200 feet, vacant, 73d and Vernon Avenue,

or vacant lot on South Park Avenue
25 near 31st, or vacant on Drexel Avenue and 54th Street? If so, kindly give us list and details by letter, or call.

Respectfully yours, (49)

Chas. J. Buddeke & Co.,                                 

709-715 Union Trust Bldg.,

Cincinnati, Ohio. Gentlemen:

In reply to your answer to our advertisement No. 931, Tribune: we have known of your properly No. 967125 Woodlawn Avenue for some time. The location is desirable, as you state, but there is little value in the house. Our client would
50 not allow any. Can you make us a lower price for cash? If so, we think it will be favorably considered.

Our commission in
75 event of sale is 2 1-2 per cent.

Respectfully yours, (85)

Mr. R. P. Ellicott,

Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir:

I wish to call your attention to the riparian right property shown on the reverse side of this letter.

The property is owned
25 by Eastern people whom I represent and who are desirous of closing out their Chicago interests and therefore are offering this property at a very low figure 50

This is an opportunity for a speculation as well as a safe investment in these lots. The prices at which they are being sold are
75 based on the lots as they are today. The last legislature passed an Enabling Act giving the Lincoln Park Board authority to establish a uniform
100 shore line out in the lake - so the abutting property owners would have the additional land in lieu of damages for their riparian rights. This
125 would give the purchaser on the Sheridan Road an equal amount of frontage facing on the park which is proposed to be made by reclaiming
150 the submerged land.

Land which has recently sold at over $1,000.00 per front foot was made at the south end of Lincoln Park
175 by filling in the submerged lands.

I am in a position to offer the property at a very low figure on the following easy terms
200 if desired, viz: $500 yearly for five years, and the balance on the sixth year.

If you would like any further particulars, let me
225 hear from you on the enclosed card. It will pay you to investigate this.

Very truly, (241)

Mr. H. T. Lenor,

Stuart, Iowa. Dear Sir:

Your favor of the 8th inst. received several days ago. I have been unable to see the owner of the S. 1-2,25 22, 99, 88, until today. The property is now held at $25.00 an acre, or $6,400.00 for the farm. The
50 title to the property rests in a government patent and is incontestable; and the property is free of encumbrance and liens, according to the records.75

We require a payment in cash of one-third the purchase price; balance in five or less equal annual payments bearing interest at the rate
100 of 8 per cent per annum.

All prices are subject to 5 per cent discount for cash.

Yours respectfully, (119)
