Leopold’s Addition.

Adjoining the original plat of th* oil the east, toai tract of some seventy acres of a* fin*: land as Jasper county affords.. Thia body is owned by Mr. A. Leopold, ona of the most, enterprising, far seeing and prosperous citizens of the town, who has just completed the survey and platting of the tract into blocks, lots, streets and alleys. Most of the vacant lots in the original plat of, and. older 'additions (b. Rensselaer have been held By the owners at prices beyond the reach of mechanics andmen who support their families by small jobs and day’s labojr. It Is to afford this class of people an 1 Opportunity, to procure homes of their own, and at the same time to realize a profit for himself, that Mr. Leopold has placed his property <#h the market in its present shape. It will be seen by referring to the-advertislng columns of this paper that Mr. Thomas Borough* is agent sos th? sale of 246 of these lots. We are Informed by both Mt. Boroughs and Mr. Leopold tliat th* prices, which of course are graded upon a basis of location, have been made with a full consideration of the present condition of finabees and business, and are barely enough tp give a reasonable margin over th* actual cost of the trai t and pay expenses of surveying, platting and Incidentals, while the terms are so liberal as to place a home within the reach of any ir.dustriou* man .or woman. While it is preferred.to sell these lots to those who will build upon and improve them, a portion at least Will be disposed <»f in bulk, to persons to tuuke, an investment of surplus npiney where a reasonable profit jpay be confijlently anticipated. Leopold’s Addition covers many choice Hites for dwellings, and at no ilihtaiit day, will, no doubt, be considered the hatidsthncst poMiofi of Rensselaer. » ; IM7-3iu. ’ Get sale'bills, stock' l»Hls and oth#y I job-printing at Tub L’ptoM SflMfti 1
