Heal Estate ana Insurance Firm.
Extra facilities for Handling l
a Large Volume •! Boilneii.
Since the business of handling real ]
estate has assumed such mammoth pro
portion* in Lu* Angelea, a few unsoru
pulous men have engaged in it, and in J
occasional instances by their trickery
and double dealing hare brought a moat -
honorable profession into disrepute. It
is pleasing to know, however, that as a '
rule, the gentlemen who have had a
large experienoe elsewhere and have
faithfully represented their constituency,
have been successful In handling the
responsibility and trust confided to |
tbem. Among this number may be
enumerated tho well known and thor
oughly established firm of Bryan A
Kelsey, at No. 20 West First street, <
who, after an experienoe in this line for
seven years, have uot only won the oon- \
bdenco of • large clientage, bnt have.
been very, successful in the handling of 1
an Immense volume of business, includ- 1
ing some of the most valuable properties i
in the city and' county. They have ■
been very successful in handling tbe S
Woodward and other tracts, through
their untiring effort* to please and faith- i
fnl representation. With their exten
sive correspondence to all part* of the
United States, and other excellent facili- 8
tiea, they are enabled to place properties
tv advantage and at the same lime
furnish newcomers with reliable informa- c
tion about the particular localities they
wish to make their future home. Being
excellent judges of values, of both city c
and oountry properties, and having an
extensive list on their books, they are j
propared to please the most fastidious. 1
This enterprising and reliable firm have
also coupled lire insurance with their
business, so they are prepared, with the
agenoy of several reliable companies, to
protoot their customers improvements.
They tike particular pains with business
intrusted to their care by non-residents,
and pride themselves on the promptness
and dispatch of any trust confided to
them. In addition to their real estate
and insurance business these gentlemen
give particular attention to the rental
ef properties, paying taxes, and a gen- i
era! supervision of lands and improve- |
ment* of non-resident* or distant corres
pondent* who place such business in
their care.
