BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES 



LAND. STaMPAGE. RAILROAD, BAND 

 MILL, CIRCULAR MILL AND 

 PLANING MILL PROPOSI- 

 TION FOR SALE. 



The undprsigned holds in trust .ind offers 

 for sale the following described propertv, 

 to- wit: 



S. 421. 74 acres in fee, partlv cut over, 

 partly virgin. 



Over 1.000 acres additional stumpage. 

 deeded, eight years in which to remove. 



11 miles standard gauge steel tram, to- 

 gether with 25 logging cars, locomotive, 

 blaelismith shop, tools, etc. 



Band sawmill, capacity 40.000 feet dailv, 

 with ample power. 



Circular mill, capacity 15.000 dailv. com- 

 pletely equipped. 



Battery five planers and edger, with wa- 

 ter tank, sheds and side tracks. 



Good sized building, formerly used as 

 commissary, now as ofllce. 



This plant is located on the main line 

 of the Iron Mountain route at Prescott. 

 Arkansas. 4S miles from Texarkana. Pres- 

 cott is the county seat of Nevada countv. 

 and contains a population of 2.700. Wages 

 moderate and freight rates reasonable. 



The timber, which consists of oak, gum 

 and short leaf pine, is of superior size and 

 quality. I have had no cruise made and 

 therefore could not guarantee the number 

 of feet: but I should say that on this prop- 

 erty, and adjacent to it (available), there 

 IS at least fifty million feet. 



The plant has been notoriously misman- 

 aged. Nevertheless tens of thousands of 

 dollars worth of high-grade lumber has been 

 marketed from the property during the past 

 three years, and yet the mills have not 

 been run on an average of two days a 

 week. At present the circular mill is "idle 

 and the band mill is being operated under 

 lease by Mr. J. H. Tardy of the firm of 

 Garetson & Greason, St. Louis, who Is cut- 

 ting logs bought partly from the Ozan Lum- 

 ber Company and partly from neighboring 

 settlers. The band mill is said to be the 

 second best in the state, and has the name 

 of having furnished the finest car of quar- 

 tered oak ever laid in St. Louis. 



The firm in whose interest I am hold- 

 ing this property as trustee, sold this oak 

 green for $50. It cost them about $12, all 

 told, to manufacture. 



I respectfully submit as reasonable the 

 following table of estimated values: 

 8,421.74 acres land and timber (in 



^ 'ee) $110,000 



Deeded stumpage on something over 



1.000 acres 15.000 



11 miles railroad and equipment 30 OOO 



Planing mill, embracing five ma- 

 chines, edger. etc 9,000 



Band mill, with everything complete. 



running today 14 000 



Circular rig. with several miles 



wooden tram : 2,000 



„ Total $180,000 



But as my people are forced to sell or 

 lose out entirely on a larger proposition 

 which they are under obligations to fioat. 

 I am authorized to discount the above figures 

 just $50,000 and close a deal with the first 

 purchaser who comes along for exactly 

 $130,000. no more, and not a cent less un- 

 der any consideration. 



TERMS : HALF MUST BE CASH, BAIxANCB EAST. 



When under full operation under new 

 management. I am confident this propertv 

 can be bonded easily for $200,000 at 5Vj or 

 6 per cent. The soil is excellent. Being in 

 the heart of the famous Arkansas peach 

 belt, I suggest that as the timber is re- 

 moved, the land should be divided into 40 

 acre fruit farms. By erecting a four-room 

 house and some outbuildings on each forty 

 at an expense of not over $150, I believe 

 the entire tract can be quickly disposed of 

 to foreign settlers at $20 per acre. 



Investigation courted. Go and see this 

 property for yourself. All I a.sk is a square 

 deal. Upon arrival at Prescott, report to 

 r™,(; ^-^ M- Hutto, who will afford every 

 facility for examination. 



TITLES OUAKASTEED. IMMEDIATE POSSESSION 

 GIVEN. 



I believe that the man or firm securing 

 this valuable plant at the exceedingly low 

 figure of $130,000 will make a fortune out 

 of the Investment, capital and capable man- 

 agement of course necessary. 



Several Interested parties already on the 

 string. But — "first come, first served." I 

 cannot give anybody an option. Quick action 

 must be had. 



Plat furnished on application. Write me 

 for any further particulars.
