HIDDEN TREASURE
Hidden treasure has always
held I peculiar fascination for
the world-
It has lurad intrepid spirits
to the remotest corners of the
earth, and furnished | vehicle
for wonderful fiction.
Yet almost every foot of un
developed property in New
York contains hidden treasure.
All that it lacks is the roman
tic element of uncertainty.
But unlike the traditional
variety, the hidden treasure in
New York undeveloped property
is daily being unearthed by en
terprising owners.
When will you build and make
your property disgorge?
