The opportunities for profit in New York real estate are to-day infinitely greater than they were in the early times, as we shall be glad to prove to any inquirer. A Rugby Residence, Linden Ave. A REMARKABLE RECORD Since our first general advertis ing appeared some months ago, we have sold $600,000 worth of Brooklyn property to people in all parts of the world, from Alaska to Manila, South Africa and Brazil, besides almost $1,000,000 worth to residents of New York City itself. THOSE WHO INVESTIGATED ADDED $200,000 TO THEIR ORIGINAL PURCHASES. Of the 700 people to whom we sold lots, 360 have visited New York at our expense. One asked for his money back and got it. 72 persons confirmed their original purchases, and 287 increased their holdings to an aggregate of $200,000; the most marvelous stamp of commendation ever given a commercial house. A letter to us will give you their names, doubtless some in your own locality. We subjoin just a few out of scores of appreciative letters received from Mail Order Customers. Many more from near by and far away, will be sent you on application. Any of these writers will doubtless gladly answer your inquiries if you inclose a 2-cent stamp. "Doubled My Purchase the Day I Saw Rugby." Walker, Iowa, Nov. 20, 1901, Wood, Harmon & Co., New York City. Gentlemen-I wish to express my entire confidence in " Rugby." I hold in grateful remembrance the kind treatment I received at your office on my recent visit to New York. Your clerks are ladies and gentlemen indeed. At your expense I visited Rugby, and I am free to express my conviction that it is destined to become a magnificent resident portion of Brooklyn. I am led to this belief by its relation to Prospect Park, the building enterprises near by, the easy access to the business parts of New York and Brooklyn, the ideal and uniform surface of the entire site, and the improvements which your firin are making in grading streets and beautifying the property. I doubled my purchase the day I saw Rugby. I observe with great satisfaction your restric prohibiting intoxicants and cheap residences. You are at liberty to use this testimonial as you please. Very incerely yours, Rev. R. M. ACKERMAN, Pastor M. E. Church. "More Satisfactory than Anticipated." Gentlemen- ratitude expressed is practical Golden Rule action. As you know, I purchased Rugby lots and visited them. I I was more than pleased with the invest- companies, have purchased real estate in dif- the best insurance I have ever made. Thank ing you for your courteous treatment, and C. F. MOORE. Office Supt. of Public Schools. some deliberation, I bought two more lots. Having occasion about two m nths after this to go to New York, I again visited Rugby. But this time I wanted to see the lots and surroundings without an agent, for 1 teared that with an agent of the firm conditions had been drawn in too glowing colors. But I was charmed with the improvements, and on coming home I invested in eight more lots, making twelve lots in all purchased by me. Wood, Harmon & Co., in my estimation, are wholly reliable, and purchasing lots of them is a safe and profitable investment. You may use this for publication if you consider it of any value, but I have written it simply to express my honest opinion in regard to your work. Sincerely, KIMBER CLEAVER, Supt. of Public Schools. "Solid City Nearly to Rugby." Office of I. Williams, Architect and Builder, Real Estate and Insurance Adjuster. Ironton, O. Nov. 30, 1901. Messrs. Wood, Harmon & Co., New York. Gentlemen-I would like to say a word regarding my opinion of Rugby. I visited the place in September last, and found it all and more than I expected. The distance from New York appeared quite short, with a solid city nearly to the limits of Rugby. In fact, I thought so well of the place that I had my son buy another lot. The insurance feature alone is quite an item in the pr position. Yours truly, L. WILLIAMS.
