Show i I II I JIMISON'S sibs f I REPORT Rorer W. W nabon Buying Land One of my precious posses Is a map or of the UnitEd States Stales published In France In 1790 1700 U R shows nothing west or of orthe the Mississippi until you ou reach the Pacific Coast where it shows a few settlements on the coast or In what now constitutes California Oregon and Washington BUYING LAND IN FLORIDA Land In Florida was as then being sold by real estate agents In Spain Land in what are now the other Atlantic Coast states stales was being sold In France and England This land sold at prices which seem very low today Much land In Florida could then be bought for 50 an acre which now sells for an acre I believe I that the Ule price will continue e eto to rise I believe that land in Florida especially oceanfront land Jand on the west and the east coasts will increase consider ably further in price lIEN I first came to FlorIda Flor ida 40 years ago I bought acres of land for an acre This was my first speculation in Florida land Jand Today that land Jand sells for an acre I bought land about ten year ago in the interior of the state for an acre which sells for not much more today but if I had bought on the east cast or west coa coast i. i it would today sell seU for ten times the Ule purchase price BUYING LAND ON MOON 1 Readers may laugh at me but I think the same thing will happen In connection with land on the moon I believe real estate agents will some someday someday day be selling land on the moon which may show a prof It as did land sold in this country years ago My reason for feeling this way Is that and on the moon can be beI I viewed by means of the new radio telescopes which will enable real estate agents ht h the United States to show prospects what part of the moon they are buying and the particulars regarding it THESE ra mate lio telescopes will willbe willbe be available at many points so that real estate agents can use them with perfect safety Many of the larger universities ties now have such radio telescopes tell tele scopes and will probably soon allow real estate agents to use them W WilEN HEN I IVAS VAS IN RUSSIA When I was in Russia I 1 found the Russian government very much alert to the possibilities or of buying land in space starting starling with the moon Russia was training her young oung people to be Interested In space for two reasons First because Russia believes that if world war III occurs fighting fight fight- Ing will take place above the earths earth's atmosphere and sec sc because space may be I good business and the Russians Rus Rus- will make a profit from it Therefore we must not I feel that money which the United States e n t spends on space wll be wasted wast Id I'd in fact it may be be very profitable TIllS THIS brings me to a final thought I 1 recently have been reading about the galaxies which are great collections of stars or would would-be stars scattered scat scat- throughout the universe There are arc millions of them Some are great distances away They apparently have no beginning and no ending I even believe that these stars called so-called or portions of galax les iI's will be speculated in by rEal estate agents aU allover over the world GALAXIES VS FOOTBALL The universities are numbering numbering number number- ing ing the 1 g l an an listing them on maps The day Is coming when real esta t e agents agent in this country will be bel l selling on of the e tars or certain parts to people as a speculation It will be possible to buy Star No 1 50 for in stance in Galaxy K which a person can hold and then sell to someone SOll else at a profit The price of course would be very cheap and speculation spec spec- therein would be very interesting AU this means I that young people should give more study to space and to the celestial bodies which apparently have no beginning and I no ending So much for my ideas on future real estate transactions 1 But what world my readers have said lI If say 60 years ago I had forecast the excitement excite excite- ment over football between universities which exists to to- today day Readers would have I I thought me crazy Let me now forecast that our universities will be getting just as competitive over galaxies and stars |
