IT ALWAYS WINS.

A Talk with Wan who Deal* with Men.

Why Some Men

ace

Ruined by Specula

tion, while Others Grow Immensely Wealthy.

The Key to Permanent Suceeii, My Son, is to Make Safe Investments and let the Backet Shop Business Alane.

The investigations that have crept into the great financial crash of the past six months have brought out many of the schemes and death-falls of stock gambling and railroad treachery. Ihis talk about Villard and bis connection with tbe Northern Pacific railroad has made many men clutch their capital in a tighter grasp. He came to this country a poor man and his phenomenal accumulation of wealth was due to his connection with the Kings of Wall street. But you see him to-day a broken down man, mentally, physically and financially, unless he can succeed in saviag what he now has in his posessi on. In the history of the world the greatest, and nine cases out of ten, all the immense fortunes made through this kind of speculation have brought the possessors to premature graves after spending the very flower of their lives in broken health and demented mind. This is not altogether confined to America, but has been the history of this kind of speculation from the time of tbe Csesars. But the history of the world also shows that with men who have grown wealthy by buying real estate and its attendant profits, the percentage of failures is almost imperceptible in connection with the world's great business in that direction. Not only have the wealthiest men of America been made so by judicious investments in real estate, but in Europe and every country on the globe, land is the great safe and certain depository for capital, semi-civilized Asiatic chieftan gathers his flocks of camels, sheep and oxen on his own ranche and is king of all he surveys. Sacred history is replete with wisdom in regard to real estate. Abraham, Jacob and Solomon were all large stock men. Looking at the business in a modern sense, one is surprised to see what growth in that direction has taken hold or the American people. Ten years ago, Kansas City was regarded as a. frontier town. Now, so much capital has been Invested in the great green meadows of Kansas for three hundred miles west of that 'great city, that people out there speak of the east when auytbing is mentioned east of Kansas City. What has made this wonderful stride in that direction? It has sorely not been by dealers in the Chicago Board of Trade, nor in th« uncertainty of mining and railroad stooks. It is due to tbe foresight and enterprise of capitalists and of the thousands who have invested their money in land and cattle can one failure be mentioned Examine the great cattle interests of Kansas and Texas the great lumber interests of Michigan, Virginia and Tennessee, and point if you can where a failure can be. traced to an over production in their business. Take the wealthiest men of our own cities, and every one of them owes his wealth to judicious investments in real estate. Tbe prairies upon which this city is built is no more valuable in its virgin state than the prairies of Kansas. We can see what has come to those who purchased real estate in Vigo county twenty or even ten years ago. The same capital placed in the garden spots of Kansas would have brought four times the increase. Looking at the recent failures in our midst, and the prosperity of those who own lands and houses one must naturally turn to Ben Blanchard, whose real estate business for tbe year ending Jan. 1st, 1884, was over $2,000,000 in excess of bis business the previous year, making a total of three millions five hundred and sixty-one thousand, two hundred and thirty dollars. This immense increase is not entirely due to the great demands of capital for a safe investment, but Mr. Blanchard is a courteous gentleman and a first-class business man. The most unlettered rustic will receive at his hands the same generous treatment extended to a king. Knowing how slipshoddy tbe general run of the real estate business is conducted, Mr. Blanchard has fitted up and furnished an office on the ground floor of the Marble BIOCK, in the center of business and has without doubt the finest real estate office in tbe state. His facilities for information on matters of real estate is remarkable. The sectional maps, gazetteers, eta, lor lands in the United States, alone cost him over one thousand dollars. Every real estate journal or land review, published in the United States, can be found at his office. So thoroughly is everything systemitized that one man is kept traveling all the time investigating lands, and every department of hIs business, of which there are three or four, is presided over by an experienodd man. Hia business is that of real estate and not a rental agency. Men in hia employ give their entire attention to real estate investment in its various phases together with his several reliable agenta. Much very satisfactory business is accomplished. If you have some money and want to make a safe investment, go to Ben "Blanchard and have a talk with him. Yon will find him one of tbe pleasaotest gentlemen and thoroughly acquainted with tbe real estate business.—7*. £T. Dtmoerat.
