No. 9. OUR FIRST PURCHASERS. When Homewood property was first put on the market lots sold for less than

$1,000 for 50 feet of inside frontage. A few people had the strength of their convic

tions. They had the nerve to back up their judgment with their cash, with the result:

1. They got the lowest prices. 2. they had the privilege of selecting from

he entire subdivision the lot which best suited their fancy. 3. They got the best

terms. 4. jb,verv facility tor borrowing money tor the building ot homes was provided.

Those who doubted, those who were skeptical, tho&e who wanted to wait to see

what some one else would do:

1. Paid as high as $l800 for lots which two years before were selling for $900.

2. If they paid less they had to take the less desirable locations. 3. They found it

larder to get terms. 4. The matter of a loan was made a straight banking proposition.

Homewood was Hammond s first experiment in high grade subdivision. Ken

wood is the second. The same influences that made Homewood will make Kenwood. The only difference will be that Kenwood will be a decided improvement over Homewood. '

Kenwood is as much of a step in advance of Homewood as Homewood was

over anything that had been ldid out up to that time. Kenwood is, we believe, the last

word in modern subdividing.

And furthermore this subdivision is open to all who believe m our ideas of city

building. The merchant, the doctor, the lawyer, the clerk, the banker, the railroad

man and the ordinary citizen are all welcome to Kenwood.

All we ask is that you catch the Spirit of this great home making enterprise

and co-operate with us to make these sunny slopes the little paradise that wTe expect

it to become. The inducements to first purchasers are the greatest.

In a file of the Brookvllle Democrat, dated April 8, 1865, there is an account of a devastating flood of a few days previous, which swept away the large water power that was the town's sole dependence for manufacturing purposes.
