A real estate firm announces 100 choice building lots to be sold by public auction. They state market value is what buyers will pay, and emphasize advertising and public viewing after developing the property. No single price setter, only auction results determine value.
Fully developed tract divided into one hundred building lots with wide streets from fifty to one hundred feet. Over 25,000 square feet of granolithic sidewalk, hundreds of shrubs and maple trees, park-like appearance. City water gas electric light fire and police protection included. Title guaranteed by Bridgeport Land & Title Company. Suitable restrictions to insure a desirable neighborhood.
Take Devon or New Haven Car via Barnum Avenue and get off at Broadbridge Road. Five cent fare.
In a public auction buyers determine the price, observe neighbors bids, and see what others pay for their lots. No one influences you in advance, allowing a direct comparison and fair opportunity to decide what you shall pay.
