(Q) Which of these three places would be the most suitable,
everything considered: The 23 acre Taylor [Robert B.
Taylor-Dawson property?] place in Oceana, the Van Patten
property, or a portion of the Doyle property on Laskin road?
(A) In considering the properties as indicated, many things
are necessary to take into consideration - as relations to
convenience that are necessary as a part of those
considerations for which the body is primarily interested in
the properties.
As we find, all conditions then considered - the Taylor
property is the most feasible. For, as we find, the products
- but first all the manner in which this has been protected
and cared for makes it a good buy. Then again the
conveniences for water, lights, and accessibility for the
market, for transportations, for everything considered as
would be in regards to the making of the place a home.
For it should be considered as that; not only for those who
are being taken into consideration but for the self, and for
the least outlay it is capable of showing the greater returns
with quicker prospects of it (the property) becoming building
property.
As we would find then, this - with a home as of that as we
would find in this particular vicinity; and not too great an
expense but brick veneer house - and be sure to use pitch or
oil papers between the house or the brick and the rough
lumber.
Build so that it might be divided for a two-family, or four
to five bedrooms. This as we find may be built for
twenty-six to thirty-six hundred dollars - such a home.
For the properties themselves here - as we find berries,
small berries; as raspberries, currants, loganberries,
dewberries and the like - and grapes - and then chickens and
the like - would not only make for a source of income for the
body and those the closer associated with same, but within
eighteen months to two years will almost produce more income
than even the present associations and surroundings!
In these connections, too, much must be taken into
consideration. As we find, there is the assurance of the
associations or connections as long as the present outlook of
the activities is in accord with the present policies; that
is, these associations may be kept, but there may be those
desires for changes - and then these properties offer the
investments not only such that the whole time might be given
to such, and the study as has been indicated and the
associations or connections with communications as related to
the radio or communications of such natures, but would offer
a home as well - and the prospects of greater returns for the
outlay.
(Q) What price should I offer?
(A) This should be much in keeping with that as is the
general outlay - twenty-five to twenty-eight hundred dollars.
(Q) Through what contractor would you advise I build?
(A) This of course should be rather as competitive; but as
we find the considerations of Conrad would be very well.
Make basements, though, for preservations, to be sure.
(Q) What advice regarding financing this proposition?
(A) As we find this may be financed through the Home Owners
or the Government Loans.
(Q) Would the Dr. Brooks' place be too big a proposition for
me now?
(A) Not unless there were others to be interested would we
consider same; it would be too big a proposition.
But in building a home it is not so much speculation as it is
a settling for that which not only makes for an investment
but a HOME - which carries with it all of those associations
and influences that have little to do with speculation, see?
And yet this property as indicated we find offers such
opportunities, especially in the location, for such projects
as indicated, that we may find in two years the body
considering the giving of its whole attention to such!
(Q) What are my immediate prospects with the Norfolk
Southern?
(A) As indicated, these are all good - but there may come
changes. Hence considerations for not overstepping self so
that if changes were to come you would have a liability
rather than an asset.
As we find this property used for these purposes as indicated
would always be an asset.
(Q) Is it likely I shall make a change in the near future?
(A) Not in the immediate, as we find.
(Q) At this time can you give me any advice how I can
increase my income so that I can assist my parents more, and
to enable me to get married whenever this should come about?
(A) As we find if these properties are bought, or the
investments made here, these offer the better possibility and
prospects for an increase of the income - if they are handled
in those directions as given - of any, when we consider the
whole surroundings. For as given, we may find the properties
themselves - within those periods indicated - making for a
much greater income even than the salary with the Norfolk
Southern.
(Q) What advice regarding selling my lots on 54th St., Va.
Beach, Va?
(A) In the spring, not now - in the spring, when there is
the beginning of an influx of those that are prospective
buyers or builders for speculation. However, these
properties may be used, of course, as collateral for the
preparation of the home. But do not encumber same in such
way that they might not be easily disposed of.
(Q) Is there any person or persons connected or not
connected with the Norfolk Southern that I should be careful
of?
(A) Not as we find, any that are in the present - though
there have been words and questions and conditions, but
conducting of self in the ways and manners and the policies
as in the present, very well.
(Q) Am contemplating a short trip to New York next week. Am
also contemplating a trip to Florida later. Any advice
concerning the trip or trips?
(A) Either or both of these as we find would be worth
considering. Not only from future relationships, but even
for those in the prospects of the contemplations for
considerations of the home and the parents. Very well, then.
(Q) Please give me any other advice that may be helpful.
(A) It would be well that each entity - as self, considering
here - ever look forward to that experience of building a
home. The entity will experience (while do not entangle self
from a financial angle) in the preparations, in the layout,
and in the care for that as being contemplated, the greatest
constructive force in the experience of the body that may
ever be had.
For HOME represents that of permanency, to the mind, to the
body; in peace, in harmony, yet in doing good for goodness'
sake - which brings within the experiences of all, when the
speculative influence is left out - a home, a fireside;
mother, father, home, family; that becomes as the overflowing
blessings in many, many ways.
We are through for the present.
