Show GENTILE SHOWS HIS FAITH Heal Estate Values Would Increase Were American Party Successful. A llttlo meeting between a Mormon and a Gentile property-owner Saturday Is Interesting In-teresting In that It rollouts a bit of public sentiment hero these days of tremendous importance to tho real estate owners of Salt Lake. The men aro good friends and own adjoining property. Each tract Is worth at this tlmo about $W00. Tho men were talking ovor the prospects of tho approaching ap-proaching campaign. "Let mo tell you what I'll do If tho American party elects Its ticket," eald tho Gentllo. "I am so certain that a boom will follow the announcement of such a result that I will now agree to buy your property, if tho American ticket Is successful, for $5000. If tho American ticket does not win, you may havo my property for $,000. You know tho two pieces are worth practically the same." Whllo the Mormon wns reflecting on this offer, knowing that his neighbor is a man of his word, and a conservative man, too, another Gentile, ono of tho most Influential members of the Commercial Commer-cial club, suggested: "You can safely offer him SGOO0 for his property In such an event." "Let me make you another offer," continued con-tinued tho Gentile. "Wo have each a piece of real estate near Liberty park. Each worth now about $1000. I will sell my pleco to you if the American ticket docs not -win for $500. I will glvo you $1500 for yours If the American ticket does win." Gentiles know how swiftly Salt Lake's resources would be advertised by a Gentile Gen-tile victory. They know how other cities are booming. Tho lesson of this conversation should be a valuable ono to Salt Lake property-owners. |
