independent
heights,

large proportion.
Mr.
Mec Intosh
who is
a
graduate
of
one
of
the leading business
colleges
of this city,
and whose
wonderful
knowledge of
cor-
porato
management,
high
finance,
and
the
practical
application
of the
law
of
real
property
has
been
highly
instru-
menta!
in
helping
to
put
the
Horizon
Corporation
on
the firm footing on which
it
stands.
This
Corporation
owns
very
valuable
unimproved
land
in
Long
Is-
land,
and
but
a short
time
ago,
through
the
shrewdness
of
its officers,
beat
a
Jewish
cowcern
to the purchase
of a very
valuable plot of land of 144th
St.
and
Le-
nox Ave. for which they have since turned
down
an offer of twenty
seven
thousand
doitlars.
$27,000.
Now,
I understand
that
the
Corpora-
tion is 2bout
to combine
these
properties
in
a Trust
deed
as
seccurity
for an
issue
of General
Yortgage
notes,
said
notes
to
have
an annua!
interest
yi~ld of ten
per
cent
(10%),
and
run for five years.
The
demand
of the public
for the
immediate
extension
of
business
and
the
building
of
gigantic
garage,
are
given
as
the
reasos for this
great
offer to the invest-
ing
Publie.
In my interview with these
two officers
of
the
Corporation,
I
was
pleased
to
learn
that they
might consider
extend-
ing this offer to
the people
of the Virgin
Islands
through
an
auth.rized
agency.
By
the people
I mean
everybody —from
the Banker
to
the Laborer.
lam

with the
proposition,
and
if possible,
will
obtain
the
direct
agency
for a block of these
notes,
which if
sold
in
the Islands,
will be
the first
step
toward the linking of the intercst
of

people with those
of

in
