CHARLOTTE REAL ESTATE
CHARLOTTE real estate offers wonderful possibilities to the investor. The big life insurance companies consider this city as one of the best in the country for mortgage loans. Practically all of them offer unlimited loans on business and residential property. Uptown business property has doubled in value within the last five years, while the bus- iness section has expanded from three to five blocks in every direction. One hig real es- tate operator, engaged in the development of residential sub-divisions, states that no in- vestor in his homes has ever sold at a loss. The building and loan associations are the strongest of any city of its size in the U. S. A., with combined resources of over $14,- 000,000.00. Charlotte has never had a mushroom growth or "boom" period, but a steady, consistent increase in population, business activity and real estate values. Many fine suburban properties have been developed within the last five years and this activity is now greater than ever before. The taxable value of Charlotte property is $200,000,000.00

Putting the Out-of-the-way Business on the Main Street For a Few Dollars
The business that is up-stairs in some building or off the beaten trail can overcome its location- can put itself on the Main Street of Public Attention by advertising in the City Directory.
Your advertisement entit.es you to be listed in heavy type under all of the classifications of your business in the new City Directory now being compiled. This makes your business STAND OUT. Thousands of people consult this buyers' guide every year.
Thus, for a very small sum you can be located on The Main Street of your City Catalog for a whole year.
