NINETY-FIVE LOTS SOLD

ON SILK MILL ADDITION – TOTAL AMOUNT OF SALE $11,379.

An immense crowd attended the afternoon sale at the Silk Mill additions, 
Thursday, May 4, when 94 lots were sold by the “Dixie Twins” until 5 o’clock.  
The sale was held by local real estate agent Alvin R. Nissly.

Every one of the 95 lots on the addition was sold, except No. 93, facing Moul 
avenue, which was drawn by O. H. Frey, the luckiest man present, to whom the 
deed was presented, without charge.

Two lots which appeared on the plot, namely Nos. 61 and 69, facing on Ridge 
avenue, were not in Mr. Nissly’s contract with the Thrift Land company, so were 
not offered for sale.

The total amount of this sale was $11,379, making it one of the largest ever 
pulled off in Hanover, and the large crowds that attended were much impressed by 
the conduct of the sale.

This was solely in charge of the Thrift Land Co., who had the famous “Dixie 
Twins,” as auctioneers, and they made things fly in a style that was nothing 
short of astonishing.  

During the afternoon many valuable present were drawn by those attending the 
sale, which pleased the many lucky persons.
