INDUSTRIAL EDITION OF THE WAYCROSS EVENING HERALD
                   Waycross, Ware County, Georgia
                              June, 1907
                            GILCHRIST PARK
     This Sub-Division is separated by a street from the shop lands
of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company.  It is nearest possible
land to the Great Shops.  The principal residence street, Gilmore,
runs through it.  Nine houses are now built there; one hundred and
five more have been contracted to be built there.  This includes a
hotel of at least twenty rooms.
     Twenty years ago the industrial and business center of Waycross
was near the Court House.  Since that time, this center has been
steadily moving southward.  With the completion of these Mammoth
Shops of the twentieth century, the industrial center of Waycross
will lie a few hundred yards North of Gilchrist Park.  The lots there
being most convenient to the shops, the center of residence section
of Waycross is destine to be in the vicinity of Gilchrist Park and
Emerson Park.
     The streets have been graded and ditched.  The lots are fifty by
one hundred and twenty-five feet; with 10 foot alley in rear.  Prices
of lots $25.00 to $200.00.
     Albert W. Gilchrist, Owner, Punta Gorda, Fla.
     Address all communications to D. & O. Lott, Agents, Waycross,
Ga.
