TO PROPERTY OWNERS IN PITTSBURG, OKLAHOMA;
•0 " »
Pittsburg is in urgent need of residences for the influx of peo-
ple who have come to Pittsburg, and for those
Who are coming this summer.
DON’T YOU WANT TO BUILD A HOUSE?
Pittsburg can use at least twenty-five new houses at
i p
once. They can be rented, before the foundations are
laid, at a rent that will net investors twenty per cent on
their investments.
““--........
Remember it requires the combined efforts of a large
number of people to build a good town, and we want your
aid. The Goa^ Company will build no more houses, and
V
property ownqfs will get the benefit of this.
SEVERAL BRICK BUSINESS BUILDINGS TO GO UP.
* «•»
Blue prints have been received for four new brick build- j
ings, and we know that they are going to be built within j
a short time. ..They are to be built by men who already !
-have them rented.
The man who builds on his lot now gets a good renter,
and makes his.property all the more valuable. A piece
of improved property advances in price more than a-piece
of vacant property. This is something every one knows/
WE WILL HELP YOU LET THE CONTRACT IF YOU WISH.
*
In the event that you care to build and will let us know what sort of building
you wish to construct we will get figures for you showing cost and send to
you. If you desire we will superintend building for you free of charge to you.
Pittsburg wants houses for actual residents; wd want to aid them and you.
